The Wolverines have had some changes on the coaching staff since the end of the regular season, but the departure of safeties coach Greg Jackson just weeks before the start of spring practice left Jim Harbaugh scrambling to find a replacement quickly. According to a report from the Washington Post, Philadelphia Eagles assistant linebackers coach Brian Smith is expected to take the job.
