Michigan is hiring Mike Hart, the Wolverines' all-time leading rusher, as running backs coach, the school announced Wednesday.
Hart set Michigan records for rushing yards (5,040 yards) and carries (1,015) and scored 41 rushing touchdowns as a four-year starter. He won Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors in 2004 and was a three-time first-team All-Big Ten selection. He also twice was a finalist for the Doak Walker Award and finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting in 2006. Hart set a team record with 28 games with 100 rushing yards or more.
"Michigan has always held a special place in my heart," Hart said in a statement.
