Michigan Wolverines Prepare for 2024 Season Amidst Coaching Changes: Brian Jean-Mary Takes Helm as Linebackers Coach
Michigan Wolverines Secure Skilled Linebackers Coach from SEC Program
The Michigan Wolverines are gearing up to maintain their dominance in the Big Ten for the 2024 season, despite facing significant changes in their coaching staff. With Jim Harbaugh’s departure for the NFL, along with several coordinators, including the vacancy left by Chris Partridge’s dismissal as linebackers coach in November, the team underwent substantial reorganization. New head coach Sherrone Moore has brought in former Tennessee Volunteers coach Brian Jean-Mary to fill the linebackers coach role.
In his new position, Jean-Mary will also take on the responsibilities of defensive run game coordinator, marking his return to Ann Arbor after previously being part of the team during the 2020 season amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Having spent time coaching in Knoxville since then, Jean-Mary’s expertise as a master recruiter is recognized, having successfully recruited talents like Junior Colson and Jaydon Hood. Hailing from Florida, Jean-Mary’s familiarity with the southern recruiting landscape adds to his value.

Despite significant changes in personnel, Michigan remains a team to watch closely. Sherrone Moore’s ability to assemble a skilled coaching staff has instilled confidence, with minimal player defections indicating stability within the program. Moreover, the team’s recruiting efforts appear undeterred, with the addition of Jean-Mary expected to bolster their recruitment endeavors significantly.
As the 2024 season approaches, the Michigan Wolverines embrace the underdog narrative, eager to prove that their success is not solely attributed to Harbaugh. They aim to surprise doubters and demonstrate the collective strength of the program beyond any individual coach.
