Mike Hart Returns to Michigan
Jim Harbaugh, miraculously still the Head Coach at Michigan, has hired a new running backs coach to replace his son, Jay. It's a name Spartan and Wolverine fans will easily identify: Former Wolverine running back Mike Hart.
Michigan State sure got a lot of mileage from Mike Hart. His "little Brother" comments back in 2007 motivated MSU and Coach Dantonio to harness control of the rivalry for a few years. It's been played so much but in case you haven't don't remember. The Wolverines had won 6 straight games vs the Spartans when he said these famous words.
Keep in mind, the Wolverines NEVER lost a football game with Hart on the sideline as a player. He left Michigan in 2007 as the all-time leading rusher in the history of the University. Denard Robinson is second by the way. Jamie Morris is 3rd.
The school's former all-time leading rusher Jamie Morris made the announcement.
Mike Hart had been the assistant coach for Tom Allen in Indiana. He is a good recruiter and this will surely hurt the Hoosiers and help the Wolverines. He replaces Jay Harbaugh, who will focus primarily on special teams.
MSU and Michigan are scheduled to play at the Big House for the 3rd year in a row Saturday October 16th. Hopefully fans will be able to attend this one.
