Former Michigan wide receiver/defensive back Erik Campbell is going to be joining the Michigan staff in a capacity that is not yet known. Campbell coached the wide receivers under Lloyd Carr and helped develop some marquee talent (such as Marquise Walker and Braylon Edwards). While it was thought the staff was finalized, it appears that there are going to be some additions.
At the first ever Michigan coaching clinic, Harbaugh had this to say via Maize and Blue News:
“We’ve got a great staff of coaches here at the University of Michigan,” Harbaugh said to some 800 high school coaches in attendance. “The other thing we’ve done, and I really want to do is add great high school coaches to our staff in some form or fashion. In the recruiting department, in strength and conditioning, in coaching department, in operations.

“I believe that the thing that I didn’t have and am very envious of, and don’t have in my coach’s training is that I was not a teacher, that I have not taught class. I did not train in college to be a teacher like my dad was. … Like Bo Schembechler was, like Woody Hayes, like some of the great coaches.
“I feel like right now there aren’t a whole lot of college coaches that are going to the high school level or to the pro level. I want to change that this year by two or three winning, highly productive high school coaches.
