When Mike Hart and the Michigan Wolverines decided to part ways so late in the coaching cycle, it felt like Sherrone Moore may have his toughest test ahead of him for filling a need on his coaching staff.
Instead, he went just south of the border, to Michigan’s biggest rival, and plucked their running back coach, assistant head coach, and one of the best recruiters in college football in Tony Alford.
Alford has been in Columbus for the last nine seasons, spanning back to the days of Urban Meyer. Before that, he was working with Charlie Weis and Brian Kelly at Notre Dame.
