Even when Pep Hamilton was a quarterback at Howard University, his coach, Steve Wilson, saw a future coach from the way he asked and answered questions in the quarterback room, how he understood defenses and his ability to convey concepts to his teammates.
Hamilton last week was officially named Michigan’s assistant head coach and pass-game coordinator, rejoining coach Jim Harbaugh, who had hired Hamilton at Stanford to coach receivers in 2010. He has more than 10 years of NFL coaching experience and most recently was the Browns’ associate head coach on offense.
He replaces Jedd Fisch who left Michigan after two seasons to become UCLA’s offensive coordinator.
