The positives

Mike Elston hired as defensive line coach

In January, Jim Harbaugh hired ex-Michigan linebacker Mike Elston to the coaching staff to replace former defensive line coach Shaun Nua, who took the same position at USC.

Elston played at Michigan from 1993-96 and got his start in coaching on Lloyd Carr’s staff in 1997 and stayed on the staff as a graduate assistant through 2000.
