One of those is a very familiar face around Ann Arbor in former Michigan wide receiver / defensive back Erik Campbell. His exact position has not yet been revealed, as there are a number of support staff and analyst positions, but indications are that he will be joining up with the Wolverines’ staff in some capacity. Campbell coached wide receivers at Michigan throughout Lloyd Carr’s tenure as head coach, helping to develop players such as Tai Streets, David Terrell, Marquise Walker, Braylon Edwards, Jason Avant, Steve Breaston and Mario Manningham. He then spent five years at Iowa where he helped develop players such as Marvin McNutt and Kevonte Martin-Manley. Throughout his time as a member of the Hawkeyes staff, he continued to maintain a home in Ann Arbor though, and was a regular at the Griese-Hutchinson-Woodson Golf Outing. He spent the last two years coaching wide receivers for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League. Jim Harbaugh also revealed a plan at the Michigan Coaches Clinic to use staff positions to provide opportunities for top high school coaches. It’s been known for some time that former Paramus (N.J) Catholic head coach Chris Partridge was joining on as the recruiting operations coordinator, but Harbaugh also revealed on Friday that Lakewood (Ohio) St. Edwards head coach Rick Finotti will also be joining the Maize and Blue as the Director of Football Operations. “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. “Chris Partridge, who’s right here. Also Rick Finotti, the head coach at St. Eds in Cleveland, Ohio, will be our Director of Football Operations. I have a vision that that will be the progression, to go from that job to coaching, because that’s what ultimately they do. That’s what Chris does, that’s what Rick does.” It had been publicized initially that long-time friend of Harbaugh, Coronel Jim Minick, would be the Director of Football Operations, but he instead holds the title of Associate Athletic Director for Football. One other staff note of relevance revealed on Friday is that former Michigan defensive tackle Will Carr is remaining on the staff as a Defensive Analyst. Carr joined Brady Hoke’s staff last year to work with defensive linemen, but it was not publicly known until today that he had been retained by Harbaugh.
