Reports: Mike Zordich not expected to return to U-M staff, former player being courted for role

Now that Jim Harbaugh is locked in and we are a Baltimore Ravens playoff elimination away from Mike Macdonald becoming Michigan’s new defensive coordinator, things are starting to move on the assistant coach front. The latest update comes from a handful of updates from both 247Sports and Rivals (both subscription sites), who say that cornerbacks coach Mike Zordich is weighing his options and is unlikely to return.

Zordich was one of six Michigan assistants to see his contract expire earlier this week. He becomes the second member of Harbaugh’s staff in as many weeks to walk out the door with quarterbacks coach Ben McDaniels also not being retained.
