REPORT: Another Michigan Assistant Off To The NFL

Reports are now starting to surface indicating that Michigan defensive line coach Mike Elston will be headed to Los Angeles to join Jim Harbaugh's staff with the Chargers.

Michigan DL coach Mike Elston is expected to take the same job with the #Chargers, per source.

Nothing is official yet, but as these sources around the league continue to find out how Jim Harbaugh will complete his staff, it seems to be at Sherrone Moore and Michigan's expense each time.

Elston coached at Notre Dame for more than a decade and was promoted to associate head coach under Brian Kelly. Once he was passed over by Marcus Freeman for the vacant head coaching job in South Bend, he reevaluated things and returned "home" to Ann Arbor. Now, he'll stick with Harbaugh and continue to coach alongside his fellow Wolverines in L.A.
