Newsstand: Biff Poggi gets familiar title in Michigan return
Michigan Wolverines football has brought back Biff Poggi to work with the program and he officially has a job title after appearing this weekend in the school directory. The former Charlotte head coach will be stepping back into the Associate Head Coach role that he held in 2021-22 in Ann Arbor.
Poggi, who turned Baltimore St. Frances Academy into a national powerhouse, has served Michigan in two different stints as Harbaugh’s associate head coach. He first joined the program during the 2016 season while his son, Henry Poggi, was a fullback on the team, in an analyst role. Poggi rejoined Michigan ahead of the 2021 season in the associate head coach role as Harbaugh’s right-hand man. He left after the 2022 campaign to take the head coaching job at Charlotte.

“Biff’s a great mentor and has been that for me,” Harbaugh told The Athletic in a Poggi profile. “He likes to scheme it up, and he knows how to coach and helps coach the coaches. … As far as helping me personally, there’s not too many decisions that I make that I don’t run by Biff and we talk it out.”
“He’s got it all. I’d work for Biff. His relationship to everybody else is never king-to-subject. It’s friend-to-friend. It’s collaborative and always about the team.”

Michigan quote of the day
“I think it certainly gives our guys confidence that we’re going to find a way. And even though I might not have my best stuff tonight, my breaking ball may not be breaking, there’s still going to be ways that I can impact this game and help us win. And so, that’s part of the journey of growing together as a team. But without a doubt, I think it gives you the belief that when things aren’t going well, that you can still find a way.”
