The Michigan Wolverines have experienced a series of noteworthy events in recent weeks as they transition into a new era under head coach Sherrone Moore. Moore, who served as the offensive coordinator and interim head coach at times during the 2023 season, swiftly assumed the role of head coach after Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the Los Angeles Chargers on January 24. On National Signing Day, Michigan secured the No. 16 class in the 247Sports Composite rankings. Moore has been actively shaping his coaching staff and addressing recruiting for the 2025 Michigan football team and beyond. Current Michigan players have until February 23 to enter the transfer portal.
In a significant move on February 9, Moore appointed Wink Martindale, a seasoned NFL assistant, as the defensive coordinator. Martindale previously held the same position with the Giants from 2022-23 and with the Ravens under John Harbaugh from 2018-21. While Martindale’s addition is substantial, several staff positions remain vacant, and there is ongoing work to be completed before the commencement of spring practice in March.
