For the last several years, Stan Parrish, who coached Tom Brady at Michigan, and former Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges would meet every Tuesday morning for coffee at the Saline Inn.
If it was football season, they’d discuss and break down the previous weekend’s college games and sometimes a few high school matchups. They’d talk politics. They’d talk baseball — Parrish was a Cleveland fan because he grew up there, and Borges has been a lifelong San Francisco Giants fan.
Parrish, who had been Michigan’s quarterback coach from 1996-1999 and then offensive coordinator from 2000-2001, passed away Sunday from cancer.
