Hello: Slightly Different Version Of Chris Partridge

As many assumed when John Baxter went back to USC, Chris Partridge has been tabbed to fill the spot:
University of Michigan J. Ira and Nicki Harris Family Head Football Coach Jim Harbaughannounced Thursday (Jan. 14) that Chris Partridge has been permanently added to the coaching staff and will serve as the team's linebackers and special teams coach.
"Chris has a proven track record as a successful coach," said Harbaugh. "He has brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to his work as our director of player personnel. I know that same passion will be exhibited in his work with our student-athletes."
Sort of, anyway. Michigan is evidently moving away from a special-teams-only coach and Partridge will get some help, or Partridge will chip in—the picture and the article have conflicting information—or whatever. They'll figure it out.
Keeping Partridge was a major priority for Harbaugh after DJ Durkin departed; Michigan's success recruiting New Jersey this year speaks for itself.

I love the second guessing of Jim Harbaugh's hiring decisions.

Every time I see a picture of Partridge I can't help but notice how much he looks like this guy

I love this hire for two big reasons:
1. It gives Michigan two young, (hopefully) hungry coaches a chance to gameplan together on ST.
2. LB is the area where Michigan certainly needs more coaching and him and Brown can cover that.
That is aside from the NJ recruiting and big Harbaugh endorsement.

our most experienced LB's last year. I look to 2016 when we'll be MUCH more altheltic at LB. The DL is going to be nasty and we'll need the LB's to be able to cover RB's coming out of the backfield ... which was a soft spot for us last year.
Go Blue!
