With the hire of former Michigan standout Denard Robinson now official, Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh raved about the addition of the former quarterback to his coaching staff.
“Denard is an energetic guy who always has a smile on his face,” Harbaugh said in a statement released by the program. “He will be a positive addition to our program in both the player personnel and player development areas... we are excited to have Denard back home at Michigan helping our team.”
Robinson left his mark on the Wolverines’ program from 2009 to 2012. In 2010, he finished sixth in voting for the Heisman Trophy, set the FBS record for rushing yards as a quarterback and became the only player in FBS history to throw and rush for 1,500 yards in a single season while earning All-American honors.
