Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has already seen plenty of turnover on his staff. More appears to be on the way.
FootballScoop.com is reporting that Harbaugh has offered a position to Minnesota offensive line coach/ run game coordinator Ed Warinner. Warinner previously coached offensive line and then was offensive coordinator at Ohio State from 2012-16. He'd previously coached offensive line at Notre Dame, Kansas, Illinois and others.
Among the changes that have already taken place:
• Arkansas offensive coordinator Dan Enos has been brought it as wide receivers coach (though Michigan announced it as "offensive assistant"). Passing game coordinator Pep Hamilton is being courted by the NFL, and sources expect him to take a job in the League, possibly with the Oakland Raiders.
Enos is under contract for $150,000, but would get bumped to $750,000 if he is promoted to a coordinator spot. Sources have said he was hired with the expectation that he'd "have a line" on a coordinator spot.
• Central Michigan tight ends coach/recruiting coordinator Sherrone Moore was hired to coach tight ends.
• Boston College assistant Al Washington, who coached both running backs and defensive line at Boston College, will likely coach linebackers. Safeties coach Brian Smith left to become the defensive coordinator at Rice, and linebackers coach / special teams coach Chris Partridge, who recently re-signed after turning down an offer from Alabama, is expected to coach safeties.
• Offensive analyst Scott Turner is leaving to coach quarterbacks for the Carolina Panthers.
• Strength coach Kevin Tolbert's contract was not renewed, and Harbaugh hired Ben Herbert, who spent the past five seasons at Arkansas with Bret Bielema, replaces him.
The 10 assistants as of now, with further changes possible (and probably expected):
Defensive Coordinator: Don Brown
Offensive Coordinator /Offensive line: Tim Drevno
Assistant HC / passing game coordinator/QBs: Pep Hamilton
Running backs /Special teams: Jay Harbaugh
Tight ends: Sherrone Moore
Wide Receivers: Dan Enos
Defensive Line: Greg Mattison
Safeties: Chris Partridge
Cornerbacks: Mike Zordich
Linebackers: Al Washington
