Michigan's Greg Harden, who aided Brady, Phelps and more, dies

Greg Harden, who counseled countless people at the University of Michigan, including Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, Desmond Howard and J.J. McCarthy, has died. He was 75.

Michigan athletics spokesman Dave Ablauf said the family informed the athletic department that Harden died Thursday due to complications from surgery.

"He meant the world to me and I could never have had the success I had without the time, energy, love and support he had given me," Brady, a former Michigan quarterback who went on to win seven Super Bowls in a 22-year career, wrote on social media.
