It’s been interesting to watch Michigan football build its defensive staff and for the second time, a strong favorite for a job is going somewhere else.

Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh has his new defensive coordinator and according to reports Monday, a new safeties coach. But there is still work to do.

Harbaugh did announce Mike Macdonald as defensive coordinator on Sunday and Monday night, according to multiple reports, the Wolverines will also hire George Helow, who spent the last season coaching inside linebackers and special teams for Maryland.
