Mike Hart Back in Wolverine State as Western Michigan RB Coach

Mike Hart, who starred in Michigan’s backfield in the mid-2000s, is back coaching in the state after a brief NFL career.

Hart rushed for 5,040 yards and scored 43 touchdowns in four years in Ann Arbor, earning First-Team All-Big Ten honors three times.

He played for the Colts for three years before returning to the college game on Eastern Michigan’s staff, first on offensive quality control (2011), then as the Eagles’ RB coach (2012-13).

In 2014 he made the short pilgrimage from Ypsilanti to Kalamazoo to become Western Michigan’s running backs coach.
