Hints to Jim Harbaugh's staff appear in Michigan directory (Photos)
Since Jim Harbaugh was formally introduced as Michigan’s head coach last week, he has not formally hired any assistants. Several names have been linked to his staff however, and on Monday the names of three assistants linked to his staff were added to the school directory.
Per the Detroit Free Press, Tim Drevno, D.J. Durkin and John Morton all now have official Michigan email addresses.
Drevno, the current offensive line coach at USC, has been linked by multiple reports to the offensive coordinator job under Harbaugh. Drevno has been a part of several Harbaugh staffs. He was his offensive coordinator at San Diego from 2003-06, his tight ends and offensive line coach at Stanford from 2007-10, and then his offensive line coach with the San Francisco 49ers for three seasons.
Durkin was Florida’s defensive coordinator under Will Muschamp for the past two seasons and served as interim coach in the team’s bowl game over the weekend. He was linked to the defensive coordinator opening at Texas A&M as well, but the Aggies came to an agreement with LSU’s John Chavis, so Durkin seems to be Harbaugh’s man.
Durkin was an assistant under Harbaugh at Stanford from 2007-09
Finally, Morton was the wide receivers coach under Harbaugh with the 49ers since 2011 and also spent a year with Harbaugh at San Diego in 2005. Morton is a Michigan native who played collegiately at Western Michigan. He was the wide receivers coach at USC from 2007-2008 and then was elevated to offensive coordinator from 2009-2011.
