Michigan football is set to hire a current Big Ten assistant coach to join the Wolverines' staff.
George Helow, special teams coordinator and inside linebackers coach for Maryland, will be appointed as Michigan's safeties coach, the Free Press confirmed.
Helow will take over a position group that spent the entire 2020 season without a coach after the university disclosed in November that Bob Shoop wasn't working in an on-field capacity.
Shoop had been hired last January and signed a two-year contract for $1 million.
"He is performing team-related duties remotely," Michigan spokesperson Dave Ablauf said at the time.
