Michigan defensive coordinator Jesse Minter said goodbye to the program after two years Tuesday, as he prepares to return to the NFL.

Minter, who helped Michigan win its first national title in 26 seasons and two Big Ten championships and CFP appearances, is expected to reunite with new Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh. The 40-year-old came to Michigan after a season as Vanderbilt's defensive coordinator, which followed three years as a Baltimore Ravens assistant under Harbaugh's brother, John. He announced his departure Tuesday on social media.

The Chargers also are set to hire Michigan defensive line coach Mike Elston for the same role, a source told ESPN, confirming a report from the NFL Network.
