The shakeup in Ann Arbor continues, well into the offseason, apparently.
After Jim Harbaugh had been retained and extended as the Michigan football head coach, we’ve seen a complete overhaul of the defensive staff, with the sole returnee being defensive line coach Shaun Nua, while there have been additions to the offensive staff in Mike Hart and Matt Weiss. Behind the scenes, many analysts and graduate assistants have moved on, so the turnover inside Schembechler Hall hasn’t been limited to the on-field coaching staff.
And now another big name behind the scenes is out.
As first reported by 247Sports’ Sam Webb, Michigan director of recruiting Matt Dudek is out and former Wolverines lineman Courtney Morgan appears to be in.
Multiple sources informed The Michigan Insider this afternoon that Michigan Director of Recruiting Matt Dudek has resigned his position and is expected to take on a similar role at Mississippi State. This news comes on the heels of a developing story first reported on TMI last Friday that has former UCLA, San Jose State, and Fresno State Director of Player Development Courtney Morgan soon joining Michigan’s staff in the same capacity.
Sources further indicated that Morgan, a former Wolverine lineman (1999-2003), had himself been on the verge of heading to Mississippi State to run its recruiting department when his alma mater came calling. His decision to head home left an opening in Starkville that is now expected to be filled by Dudek.

Dudek came aboard prior to the 2017 season for Michigan football after spending several years at Arizona. He had been something of a controversial figure amongst the fanbase, at times clapping back to criticism on social media.
