Michigan football's new strength coach makes early impact, players say

ANN ARBOR -- Days after the Michigan football team lost its Jan. 1 Outback Bowl game to South Carolina, Devin Bush, Jr.'s cell phone lit up.

It was a text message from an unfamiliar number with an uncomfortable question.

"Who is this?"

Bush, admittedly annoyed by this point that an unknown number reached out to him asking that question, sound found out who was on the other end.

It was Ben Herbert, Michigan's new strength and conditioning director. And he wasn't there to just introduce himself. He wanted Bush and his teammates in the gym.
