Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore has promoted tight ends coach Steve Casula to co-offensive coordinator.

This promotion is part of a broader initiative that includes contract extensions and salary increases for several assistant coaches. MLive first reported on these developments based on information obtained through a public records request.

Steve Casula, who joined the Wolverines as tight ends coach, brings experience from his previous roles, including serving as the offensive coordinator at UMass and holding coaching positions at Western Michigan, Davenport, and Ferris State.

The coaching staff adjustments also involve contract extensions and pay raises for key assistants.
