Tony Alford Reveals Reasons He Left Ohio State For Michigan and Thanks Buckeye Coaches, Players and Fans For Past Nine Years

In his first press conference as Michigan’s running backs coach, Tony Alford revealed some of the reasons he left Columbus for Ann Arbor in March.

“I thought it was a great opportunity for me,” Alford said. “I have so much respect for (Michigan head coach) Sherrone (Moore). I’ve known him for quite a while. I just thought it was time. It might have been time for both parties. I don’t know. But I thought it was time, and that it was a good opportunity.”
