Chris Partridge, the former Michigan assistant fired by the school in November amid the NCAA investigation into sign-stealing, is being hired as the Seattle Seahawks' outside linebackers coach, a source confirmed to ESPN on Friday.
Partridge was Ole Miss' co-defensive coordinator for three seasons before taking over as Michigan's linebacker coach in 2023. But the Wolverines later determined that Partridge "failed to abide by the university directive not to discuss an ongoing NCAA investigation with anyone associated with the Michigan football program or others," according to ESPN's Pete Thamel, resulting in his firing.
