In a move that surprises no one, Urban Meyer may be fiddling with Michigan’s coaching staff now that he’s the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Just when it appeared that the Wolverines coaching staff was set on both sides of the ball, a new twist arose, with news that Meyer may be trying to poach the most veteran assistant that the maize and blue currently have. Linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary has only been in Ann Arbor for one year thus far, but has proven himself an avid recruiter. He’s been around the block, having particularly followed Charlie Strong in recent years, until Strong’s demise at USF led Jean-Mary to Ann Arbor.
According to NFL reporter Jason LaCanfora, those ties that bind may pry Jean-Mary from Jim Harbaugh’s grasp.
Michigan LB coach Brian Jean-Mary is interviewing with Jacksonville tomorrow for same position. Worked with Charlie strong at Texas.

Now, there is one thing in particular that doesn’t make sense about the above tweet: Charlie Strong is the linebackers coach at Jacksonville, newly hired by Meyer. So are the Jaguars looking for two linebackers coaches or is Strong perhaps not joining Meyer in Jacksonville as originally planned?
Regardless, it’s the type of move you’d expect from the old rival, working to sew discord when a staff finally was made complete just a week ago.
