After replacing Jesse Minter who is taking the DC job in LA, Michigan is bringing the coach who created the Ravens – havoc/disguise defense – Wink Martindale. The former Giants/Ravens DC, with over 20 years of NFL experience, will be named Sherrone Moore’s defensive coordinator, Adam Schafter reports:
Michigan is planning to hire former Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale as its defensive coordinator, per sources. Deal still is being finalized but it is not expected to be an issue. Martindale will replace Jesse Minter, who became the Chargers defensive coordinator. pic.twitter.com/O0KhhAIkUQ

Michigan’s past two defensive coordinators, Minter and Mike Macdonald, ran a version of Wink Martindale’s defense, with similar concepts and terminology. Thus, the adjustment for the players might not be quite as dramatic as if another NFL coach took over. https://t.co/BD6uQxFtWI
