The Michigan Wolverines have hit home runs with their defensive coordinator hires in recent years in Mike Macdonald, Jesse Minter and now Wink Martindale. Macdonald left to become defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens and is now the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Minter left to become the Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator and now there’s a chance Martindale leaves to become an NFL defensive coordinator once again.
Martindale interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts this week and the Cincinnati Bengals are reportedly interested in Martindale as well. With that amount of intrigue, it feels like a coin toss as to whether Martindale sticks at Michigan for a second year or heads back to the pros.
