Former UT linebackers’ coach Brian Jean-Mary returns to Michigan

In Josh Heupel’s first two seasons at Tennessee, he dealt with a reasonably minimal amount of turnover on his coaching staff. He lost WR coach Kodi Burns to the Saints when the Auburn grad accepted the same position with New Orleans after just one season on Rocky Top.

Then, after the 2022 season, long-time offensive coordinator/ tight-ends’ coach Alex Golesh accepted the Head Coaching job at USF after being somewhat of a trendy name among up-and-coming head coach possibilities.

But in less than a week, Heupel doubled the coaches who’ve left for other jobs when former Tennessee running backs’ coach Jerry Mack accepted the same role with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jean-Mary returned to the Big 10 to be the defensive run game coordinator and coach linebackers with new UM Head Coach Sherrone Moore.
