What Jesse Minter said about the Michigan football defense during spring ball

Feeling really good about the direction of the defense after hearing from him! #GoBlue

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. At least, that’s what Jim Harbaugh and Michigan football are hoping.

With defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald returning to the Baltimore Ravens after just one year in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines went back to the Ravens well, in a way, by bringing in Vanderbilt DC Jesse Minter, who had spent his previous years in Baltimore as a secondary coach. Upon arriving at Michigan, the expectation is that he won’t change much from a schematic standpoint, given what the maize and blue were able to do in 2021 — beating Ohio State and winning the Big Ten.

Minter met with the media for the first time since arriving as the team’s new defensive coordinator. Here’s everything he had to say in his first press conference with the Wolverines.
