Reports: Steve Clinkscale leaving Michigan to join Los Angeles Chargers

The Michigan Wolverines have lost yet another staff member on the defensive side of the ball, as co-defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale is moving on from his role in Ann Arbor for a gig in the NFL.

According to multiple reports, Clinkscale is expected to join Jim Harbaugh’s staff with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Sam Webb from The Michigan Insider further explained why Clink is making the jump:

Sources say a contract extension with a raise was on the table in Ann Arbor, but I’m told career advancement is the primary motivator for his departure.
