Tennessee Volunteers’ linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary is being considered for a position with the Michigan Wolverines. Earlier this week, Tennessee experienced a setback when their running backs coach, Jerry Mack, departed for a professional opportunity with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mack’s departure was significant as he had made notable contributions to the team. Now, Michigan is eyeing Jean-Mary for a similar coaching role, and there seems to be some interest from both sides. Football Scoop reported that discussions between Jean-Mary and the Wolverines about a potential move to Ann Arbor have commenced. While nothing has been finalized or officially announced, Tennessee may face the prospect of losing another key member of its coaching staff.

“Multiple sources tell FootballScoop that Vols linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary has emerged as a top target for the linebackers job at Michigan. Sound familiar? Jean-Mary was hired away from Michigan by Heupel & Co. two years ago. But the Wolverines are retooling their staff on both sides of the ball after losing former head coach Jim Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers. Moore since has hired Don “Wink” Martindale, an long-tenured, esteemed NFL defensive coordinator, to run the Michigan defense, and sources told FootballScoop Tuesday that Moore and Martindale have engaged Jean-Mary in discussions to return to Ann Arbor, Michigan.” – Football Scoop on Brian Jean-Mary
