When Shaun Nua left for USC this offseason, it didn’t take Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh long to find a great replacement. Mike Elston is Michigan’s new d-line coach. Elston’s someone who played at Michigan in the early 90’s with a great resume as a coach and recruiter.
“I’ve followed Mike’s work at Notre Dame for a while and have admired his ability to not only recruit great student-athletes, but also his proven track record in developing players for the NFL,” Harbaugh said back in January.
Elston’s coaching career began as a student assistant coach at Michigan in 1997, a year where Michigan won a National Championship.
