This is from Saturday. I didn't realize it was a done deal, although it
hasn't been officially announced.

Jesse Minter leaving Michigan to join Jim Harbaugh as new Los Angeles
Chargers DC

Michigan is losing another huge piece of its coaching staff.

Michigan defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is joining Jim Harbaugh on
the new Los Angeles Chargers staff, per The Michigan Insider's Sam Webb.
Minter met with several Wolverine defensive players Saturday morning to
tell them of his decision, according to Webb. Minter will hold the same
position as defensive coordinator with the Chargers as he makes his
return to the NFL where he previously served as a defensive assistant on
the Baltimore Ravens staff.

Minter spent the past two years as the defensive coordinator at Michigan
were he helped produce a top-10 unit nationally in points allowed, total
defense and run defense during both seasons. The Wolverines led the FBS
in scoring defense (10.4) and total defense (247.0) en route to a
College Football Playoff National Championship during the 2023 campaign.
Minter crafted a near-flawless game plan for the title game earlier this
month as Michigan players executed with precision, shutting down potent
offensive juggernaut Washington. Minter was a finalist nominee for the
Broyles Award, given annually to the best assistant coach in college
football.

He served as the interim head coach of the Wolverines for the
season-opener against East Carolina in place of Harbaugh, who was
suspended at the time. Michigan won 30-3.

Minter was suggested as a possible candidate for NFL vacancies — and
even as a replacement head coach at Michigan — during the current
coaching cycle, but will follow Harbaugh out to the West Coast.

Minter previously signed a contract extension at Michigan in April after
the Wolverines ranked fifth nationally in total defense, allowing just
292.1 yards per game during his first season in Ann Arbor. He stamped
the end of his second campaign as one of the most-prized assistant
coaches in college football.

Prior to joining the Michigan staff in 2022, Minter served as the
defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Vanderbilt for one season in
2021. He spent four years with the Baltimore Ravens as a defensive
assistant under coach John Harbaugh, the older brother of Jim Harbaugh.

Minter began his coaching career as a defensive intern at Notre Dame
under Charlie Weis in 2006 before joining the Cincinnati Bearcats as a
graduate assistant in 2007. Minter got his first job as a position coach
at Indiana State where he was in charge of the linebackers from
2009-2010. He was elevated to defensive coordinator in 2011. Minter
eventually left to become the defensive coordinator at Georgia State fro
2013-15.

Minter played wide receiver at Mount St. Joseph University in Ohio from
2002-05.

VIP: It's officially Sherrone Moore. Now what? What changes? What doesn't?

The departure of Minter means new Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore
will need to find a replacement at defensive coordinator on his staff
for the 2024 season. Michigan opens the 2024 campaign as the reigning
national champions against Fresno State in Ann Arbor on Saturday, Aug. 31.
