Michigan has assigned its coaching duties for the first three games of the 2023 season.
After it was announced head coach Jim Harbaugh will serve a self-imposed, three-game suspension to start the year, the Wolverines have named the coaches who will take over duties during their nonconference schedule.
Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Sherrone Moore, special teams coordinator/safeties coach Jay Harbaugh and run game coordinator/running backs coach Mike Hart will all see increased responsibilities during the first three games.
“I’m certain that all will be impressed with the four coaches’ ability to direct and manage the game,” Jim Harbaugh stated in a release. “It’s been well documented that we have a very talented coaching staff and I believe that all 10 assistant coaches will be head coaches in the near future. They are all capable of leading a team at an elite level.”
