Michigan running backs coach Mike Hart, the program’s all-time leading rusher, has signed a two-year contract that includes a signing bonus and is eligible for team performance payments.

Hart will make $415,000 his first season and $430,000 the next and will receive a $115,000 signing bonus, according to the contract signed Jan. 12 and obtained Friday by The Detroit News through an open-records request.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, who recently signed an extension through 2025, has reshaped his staff and made Hart his first official hire.
