ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Sometimes it’s what you know. Sometimes it’s who you know.
And in the case of Jesse Minter, it’s a bit of both that explains why he’s standing here in Schembechler Hall — less than six weeks after taking his new job as Michigan’s third defensive coordinator in three years — talking about the importance of … continuity?
That’s because he traded one Harbaugh brother for another as a boss this winter, while the Wolverines’ defense did the same with former Baltimore Ravens assistants: Mike Macdonald headed back to the NFL after just one season in Ann Arbor, while Minter agreed to replace him here.
