It was something of a shock this offseason to see Michigan football offensive line coach Ed Warinner not retained on the coaching staff.
Jim Harbaugh made a lot of bold moves this offseason, including dismissing cornerbacks coach Mike Zordich, who has a solid track record at the position. But Warinner seemed like he was somewhat untouchable. However, he was let go with Sherrone Moore shifting over from tight ends to oversee the OL.
However, Warinner is zeroing in on a new opportunity, and it’s one led by another former Harbaugh assistant. According to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, Willie Taggart and the Florida Atlantic Owls are honing in on Warinner as their new run game coordinator.

Warinner spent three seasons as Michigan football’s offensive line coach, coming aboard after one year at Minnesota after several at Ohio State. All five of his starting linemen from the 2019 team have either been drafted into the NFL, or will be this year.
