It’s been a newsy Saturday night for Michigan football on the coaching staff front.
As earlier reported by Brett McMurphy, Ed Warinner is out as Michigan’s offensive line coach while Ron Bellamy, the state championship-winning West Bloomfield coach and former Wolverines wide receiver, will be coming in to fill the vacancy. According to 247Sports’ Zach Shaw, Bellamy will be working with wide receivers and tight ends.
But that’s not the whole of it.
Since Bellamy will be taking over the tight ends position group, Sherrone Moore will be shifting to coach his native offensive line, as Moore played tackle at Oklahoma. He’ll also receive the title of co-offensive coordinator, working directly under offensive coordinator Josh Gattis.
After serving as Michigan’s tight ends coach for the last three seasons, Moore’s coaching duties will now be focused inside as the Wolverines’ new offensive line coach. He replaces Ed Warinner whose contract expired January 11th after serving in that role for the last three years. Sources say there has been discussion about remaining in Ann Arbor in an analyst role, but there is no confirmation of such a role being agreed upon at press time.
Sources tell The Michigan Insider Moore will also be adding the title of co-offensive coordinator.
It had been speculated that Moore was in the running to join the staff at his alma mater Oklahoma, but he reportedly decided to stay on in Ann Arbor before things progressed in Norman. Lincoln Riley eventually promoted from within to replace departing tight ends coach Shane Beamer.
Now Michigan’s coaching staff is set, and is as follows:
- OC – Josh Gattis
- OL/Co-OC – Sherrone Moore
- WR/TE – Ron Bellamy
- RB – Mike Hart
- DC – Mike Macdonald
- CB/Co-DC – Maurice Linguist
- DL – Shaun Nua
- LB – Brian Jean-Mary
- S – George Helow
