Indiana has hired former Michigan star Mike Hart as its running backs coach, according to a report in the Indianapolis Star.

Hart, who played for the Wolverines from 2004-07 and is the school’s all-time leading rusher, was Syracuse’s running backs coach last season.

He was Eastern Michigan’s running backs coach in 2012-13 and held the same position at Western Michigan for the next two seasons.

Hart replaces Deland McCullough at Indiana and becomes the third coach with Michigan ties on the Hoosiers’ staff. Former Michigan offensive coordinator Mike DeBord is Indiana’s OC and ex-Wolverines quarterback Nick Sheridan is the Hoosiers’ QB coach.
