Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh is targeting Vanderbilt defensive coordinator Jesse Minter for the same position in Ann Arbor, a source told the Free Press. A deal is expected to be completed in the next few days.
Minter, 38, coached one season at Vanderbilt after four years in the NFL. He previously worked as defensive coordinator for Georgia State and Indiana State with additional experience at Cincinnati and Notre Dame. Minter played four years at wide receiver for Mount Saint Joseph from 2002-05 before he became a coach.
The search for Mike Macdonald’s replacement led Harbaugh to a familiar place: the Baltimore Ravens coaching tree.
