Michigan Wolverines expected to hire Jesse Minter as football defensive coordinator, sources say

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is set to hire former Vanderbilt defensive coordinator Jesse Minter for the same position with the Wolverines, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.

The two sides are in the process of finalizing the deal, which would bring Minter to Michigan after just one season at Vanderbilt. Previously, Minter worked four seasons in the NFL for the Baltimore Ravens under Harbaugh's brother, John Harbaugh.

Minter, 38, was a defensive assistant for three seasons in Baltimore prior to coaching the team's defensive backs in 2020. He then joined Clark Lea's staff at Vanderbilt as defensive coordinator and safeties coach.
