Former Michigan defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald did so well during his first year at Michigan that he went back to where he came from — The Baltimore Ravens. Macdonald was the Ravens linebackers coach when he left for Michigan, and returns to Baltimore as their defensive coordinator.
Macdonald’s replacement is someone who was on Baltimore’s staff with Macdonald from 2017-20 — Jesse Minter. In fact, Minter was under consideration for a spot on Michigan’s staff last season. He’s someone head coach Jim Harbaugh was aware of, a coach that comes from the staff of his brother, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.
