Michigan announced Friday that linebackers coach Chris Partridge has been relieved of his duties effective immediately.
Rick Minter will serve as the team's linebackers coach when the Wolverines play Maryland on Saturday. Partridge had been Michigan's director of player personnel in 2015, then served as the special teams coach, safeties coach and eventually linebackers coach from 2016-19.
Partridge then spent three seasons as co-defensive coordinator at Ole Miss before returning to Michigan in February 2023.
The announcement that Partridge was fired comes a day after Michigan announced it was dropping its legal case against the Big Ten and that coach Jim Harbaugh would serve his three-game suspension levied by the conference.
