After leading the Michigan Wolverines to one of the top defenses in the country in 2021, now-former defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald is headed back to the Baltimore Ravens.
So, who will be the next defensive coordinator at Michigan?
Well, thanks to some research by Clayton Sayfie, we now know that one of the Wolverines co-defensive coordinators will be Steve Clinkscale, who was Michigan’s DBs coach and passing game coordinator in 2021.
According to Clinkscales contract, if the Wolverines defense finished in the top 25 in passing defense (they did), he will get a $100,000 raise and will be promoted to co-defensive coordinator the following season.
Michigan DBs coach and passing game coordinator Steve Clinkscale, per his contract signed last January, will serve as the Wolverines’ co-defensive coordinator and receive a $100,000 pay raise next season. U-M finished top 25 in passing defense (regular season).
