Malone, Herrmann Out at Michigan

Offensive and Defensive to have new leadership in 2006
SALINE, MICHIGAN FEBRUARY 12, 2006 It is confirmed that Terry Malone and Jim Herrmann are out as Michigan’s head coordinators. Both men will leave to take jobs in the NFL. Here’s what you won’t hear anyone admit, but they were basically fired. Coach Lloyd Carr has always provided little info when firing his assistants, and in this case, just basically said they were moving on to bigger opportunities.

Sorry, but O and D coordinator at Michigan is bigger than one of the assistants on any NFL team. Carr huddled with both men after the season (and Herrmann is a close friend) and clearly told them it was time to move on.
