Michigan football, LBs coach George Helow reportedly parting ways

Michigan football and linebackers coach George Helow have mutually agreed to part ways, according to Fox Sports college football reporter Bruce Feldman.

A message seeking comment from the U-M football spokesperson has not yet been returned.

Last week, U-M brought back former assistant coach Chris Partridge to the staff in an undisclosed role. Partridge coached linebackers in Ann Arbor from 2016-17.

Helow, 26, was hired by U-M before the 2021 season from Maryland, where he was special teams coordinator and inside linebackers coach. Since then, the Michigan defense was ranked in the top five in points allowed in 2021 and last season.
