Four Michigan assistants to split duties during Harbaugh suspension

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh announced Thursday that four assistants will handle game-day coaching duties during his three-game suspension to start the season.

Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter will serve as game-day coach against East Carolina on Sept. 2, special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh and running backs coach Mike Hart will split duties against UNLV on Sept. 9 with each coaching a half, and offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore will handle the role against Bowling Green on Sept. 16.

"I'm certain that all will be impressed with the four coaches' ability to direct and manage the game," Jim Harbaugh said in a statement.
