Well, so much for that.

One day after reports surfaced that Michigan had managed to retain linebackers coach Anthony Campanile, the shoe has found itself on the other table, which has turned.

While it seems that Campanile wasn’t heading back to Boston College and had seemingly turned down the defensive coordinator role at Rutgers, his alma mater, the pro ranks came calling. And he answered.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Brian Flores’ Miami Dolphins lured Campanile away from Ann Arbor, as he’ll be working with a yet to be specified position group in South Florida — a huge blow to Michigan’s plans to retain him.

Now, the Wolverines have two positions to fill, with Chris Partridge also departing this offseason, as he accepted a defensive coordinator role with Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin.
