Jack Tuttle back with Michigan football as assistant coach
The Michigan Wolverines announced updated roles and job titles for the football support staff earlier this week, but the weekend came with one more addition of a familiar face – former quarterback Jack Tuttle.
Tuttle now appears in the Michigan directory as an assistant coach, specifically as an assistant wide receivers coach. He will work alongside full-time position coach Ron Bellamy and a fellow assistant wide receivers coach in Erik “Soup” Campbell, who was officially announced as a member of the staff this week.
Tuttle appeared in 23 games with six starts during his seven-year college career. He completed 149 of 249 passes (59.8 percent) for 1,337 yards, 7 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. Last season at Michigan, Tuttle connected on 30 of 50 throws for 306 yards with 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles before medically retiring from football.
Tuttle completed 15 of his 17 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown in six games in 2023, helping Michigan win the national championship as a backup.

“This past year has been challenging, marked by a UCL repair in my throwing arm that I didn’t fully recover from, which has caused ongoing issues,” Tuttle said in his retirement statement this fall. “And unfortunately, the recent experience of enduring my fifth concussion has brought forth the painful truth: that I need to start prioritizing my health. Throughout my college career, I’ve battled numerous injuries, culminating in this difficult choice to step away from playing the game that I love.
“College football has given me a bunch of memories in my life with amazing people, and it has shaped my character. I am immeasurably thankful for every chance I’ve had to step onto the field, and for the unwavering support of those who have stood by me through triumphs and tribulations. I want to thank [Michigan head] Coach [Sherrone] Moore, the staff and my teammates — I love all of you guys. I will continue to help Team 145 as we prepare for the rest of the season.
“Though closing this chapter is unfortunate, my passion for football will always be part of me. I am committed to finding a different role in the game and plan to pursue a role in coaching.”
