It seemed inevitable that Chris Partridge was going to leave Michigan football once it was reported that Ole Miss wanted him as its defensive coordinator and Thursday, it became official.
Lane Kiffin and the Rebels announced a number of staff moves and among them was the hiring of Partridge as co-defensive coordinator, which is a huge blow to the Wolverines.
For one, many were holding out hope that Partridge could be an option to replace Don Brown. However, according to some inside info from Sam Webb of The Michigan Insider ($), that was never a possibility.
