Michigan football fans woke up to some sad news Monday morning, as according to multiple reports, head strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert is leaving the program and heading to the Los Angeles Chargers to work with Jim Harbaugh.
The ripple effects of Harbaugh leaving for the NFL are officially in full effect. The loss of Herbert cannot be overstated, as his track record developing players was critical for both the team’s success and for recruiting. Herbert was well-liked by players and fans, and losing him is a tough pill to swallow; he was a big reason Michigan has been as successful as it has been the last few seasons.
