Michigan football has head coach Jim Harbaugh and an assistant coaching staff getting the team ready for the 2022 season. However, the phrase “it takes a village” applies to the program and the way it operates as a whole.

In addition to the players on the roster, Michigan has 50 employees from Harbaugh on down that combine to make the program what it is. The Wolverines are comprised of employees in coaching, analysis, recruiting, strength and conditioning, performance nutrition and much more.
