Former Michigan running back Tyrone Wheatley reportedly is about to become a head coach.
FootballScoop reported Tuesday that Wheatley, who rushed for more than 4,100 yards in four seasons at Michigan, is expected to named the new head football coach at Morgan State.
Wheatley spent the past two seasons as the running backs coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who fired him in December as part of an offseason housecleaning of the coaching staff.
Wheatley spent two seasons before that coaching running backs at his alma mater. He's also coached running backs for the NFL's Buffalo Bills, as well as at the college level with Syracuse, Eastern Michigan and Ohio Northern.
