Rick Minter now on as def analyst- package deal

Rick Minter joined the staff which was buried in the longer article below. I think this is awesome since he can give his son the informal coaching this is important and that Rick was pretty solid as a DC himself so he would likely bring good analysis to the analyst position. Pretty good set up for a younger DC (in terms of age, yes he is a unicorn due to how many years he has done the job).

taking a guess since the linked mlive article was about sanstril, not rick minter.  i might not be the only person who has never heard of the guy, so here is a link to a wiki on him, assuming this is the right guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Minter

short version here: Rick Minter (born October 4, 1954) is an American football coach, most recently the defensive coordinator for the Birmingham Iron. He was the linebackers coach for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL) from February 2013 to January 2016. Minter served as head football coach at the University of Cincinnati from 1994 to 2003 and as the interim head coach for Marshall University in the 2009 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, compiling a career college football record of 54–63–1.

I'm sorry who?

 

Oh you mean RM. I am only able to understand references to people, places, and positions related to Michigan football when they are in 2 letter acronyms.

I'm guessing it was a package deal to get Jesse.

A bit of reverse nepotism, but the guy's got legit creds, so I don't see a problem.  Hopefully they can do what MacDonald was able to do last year.
