Brian Jean-Mary appears pleased to be back at Michigan. The seasoned coach was at Michigan for only one season in 2020, which was clearly the low point of the Jim Harbaugh era. Jean-Mary is back in Ann Arbour after three years in Tennessee. The Wolverines have won the national championship, and Jean-Mary is smiling and delighted to be working for Sherrone Moore. She also appears to be excited to work under defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.
“We’ll start with Coach Wink,” Jean-Mary said with a smile. “I think he’s the best coordinator in football. I’ll put that on the NFL and college. You look at his resumé and the people that he’s coached and the success that’s had, obviously, he’s got a wealth of knowledge and we’re all learning. I think the best thing that happens when you’ve coordinated and have had so many guys who have done it on defense is that you’re able to put the scheme together probably a little faster because you’ve done it before and have had to coordinate out all 11 guys you need to fit in the picture. I think, obviously, when we’re trying to gameplan and put things together, it’s going to make more sense to all the other coaches in the room because we’ve had to do it and I think that helps Coach Wink where he doesn’t have to actually explain everything from A to Z because you have so many guys who have had the opportunity to do it before.”
