ANN ARBOR, Mich. — While Mike Macdonald was the first new Michigan coach to come aboard after having spent the better part of a decade with the Baltimore Ravens, he wasn’t the only one.

When linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary bolted for Tennessee on the eve of spring ball, instead of bringing in another coach at that position, Jim Harbaugh went out and got who he thought was the best he could get at any position — and that’s rising coach Matt Weiss.

Weiss coached the running backs last with the Ravens but also had been a quarterbacks coach — the latter being his job in Ann Arbor. On Wednesday, Weiss spoke about his position group, including what Cade McNamara did to earn the starting job, what he’s seen from Alan Bowman and J.J. McCarthy, his analytics background, his philosophy on quarterback runs, and much more.

Here’s everything he had to say at his first media availability for the Wolverines.
