University of Michigan life coach Greg Harden had a procedure at the hospital Monday and has remained there due to “complications,” according to the athletic department.

“Long-time Michigan administrator Greg Harden went into the hospital for a procedure on Monday and has remained there due to complications. Please keep Greg and his family in your thought and prayers and we ask that all respect their need for privacy at this time,” Michigan athletics said in a statement.

More from On3’s Andrew Graham:

Greg Harden’s role in the athletic department at Michigan was, generally, one worked behind the scenes. As an associate athletic director overseeing athlete health and welfare for nearly 25 years, Harden helped some of the best athletes to come through Ann Arbor reach their peaks, first joining the staff in 1986. He worked with the Wolverines for 24 years, officially retiring in 2019.

While Harden officially retired from his role with the university in 2019, he remains close with the various programs at Michigan, working as a consultant for the athletic department. He began his career working blue-collar jobs in the metro-Detroit area before getting into counseling and working for a drug treatment program, eventually earning his master’s in social work from Michigan while working as a clinical therapist. Shortly after Harden earned his master’s, he was brought in by Bo Schembechler to work with the Michigan football team, and the rest was history for Harden.

Michigan senior defensive tackle Rayshaun Benny suffered a leg injury in the Jan. 1 Rose Bowl but spent all offseason rehabbing and has returned to the field at the start of the 2024 season. He shined with a sack against Fresno State and is looking to impact further throughout the fall.

The Pac-12 announced Thursday morning the addition of four new members to join Washington State and Oregon State. Current Mountain West members Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State will join the former power conference.

Quote Of The Day

“We’re recruiting guys that fit our style of play, kids that want to be here and kids that understand that we do have receivers that are in the NFL. You get the opportunity to play in an NFL system, a pro-style offense, and you’re going to be developed here. That’s our selling point to recruits. And they understand that we have talented players at ever position here, and that has not been an issue for us.”

— Michigan wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy
