EVANSTON — Former University of Tennessee offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian has been hired in the same capacity at Northwestern.
Bajakian served as the Vols’ offensive coordinator from 2013-14.
“We are ecstatic to welcome Mike, Michelene and their five children, to the Northwestern football family,” said Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald in a press release. “He has demonstrated outstanding impact and improvement at every stop of his career, both in college football and in the National Football League. The feedback we received from former colleagues and student-athletes was impeccable. He has helmed offenses that beat you through the air, and others that punished opponents on the ground, depending on personnel. Mike rose up our candidate list with every conversation we had about him, and we are thrilled to have him on board in advance of the early signing period and winter workouts.”
