Following the disastrous 2020 football season, head coach Jim Harbaugh knew the Michigan Wolverines needed foundational changes to turn the program around. In order to rebuild the team’s culture, Harbaugh retooled the way he coached, empowered his players and restructured his coaching staff. Unbeknownst at the time, one of the most important moves he made was moving his 35-year-old tight ends coach over to the offensive line and elevating him to co-offensive coordinator.
Sherrone Moore had been with Michigan coaching the tight ends for three seasons, but being a former offensive lineman at Oklahoma, Moore’s true strengths lay with coaching the big uglies up front.
