The time of year when programs finalize staff can be stressful and that’s probably true for Michigan football which lost Chris Partridge and has been dealing with the possible loss of a second defensive assistant, Anthony Campanile.
The loss of Partridge, quite possibly the Wolverines best recruiter, is obvious, but Campanile is a big asset too, especially in New Jersey, an area that Partridge helped Michigan football get a better foothold, so keeping Campanile who has deep ties to the state is vital.
However, those ties have also helped him get an offer to be defensive coordinator for Greg Schiano at Rutgers and since New Jersey is home for Campanile, he has family on the Scarlet Knights staff, a chance at a promotion seems like a hard thing to pass up on.
