It was around this time last year when Ron Bellamy got the call from Michigan asking if he was ready to come home. He had gotten some interest before for other coaching opportunities over the years but after West Bloomfield came up short in the State Championship game in 2017, there was still unfinished business for the former Wolverine turned coach.
Then in 2021, Bellamy and his West Bloomfield football team came away with a State Championship after his 10-year tenure at the high school. That same winter, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh called him about a coaching opportunity with his alma mater.
