Sherrone Moore was put in a tough spot when Jim Harbaugh took the Los Angeles Chargers job. Perhaps the most difficult was replacing the entire defensive staff, which Harbaugh mostly took with him to the NFL.
Initially, the Michigan Wolverines hired Greg Scruggs from Wisconsin, a proven defensive line coach with a track record of success in developing NFL talent. But his stint only lasted a month following an OWI arrest. About a week later, the program announced the addition of Lou Esposito, who was formerly Western Michigan’s defensive coordinator and had just been named the co-defensive coordinator at Memphis.
