Yesterday, new Michigan head football coach Kyle Whittingham made a statement that most of the staff would be officially hired very soon. Well, that promise has been fulfilled, as just a day later, he has officially hired six new staff members as it currently stands. Expect to potentially see more as the day rolls on.

The majority of those coaches are joining him from Utah. Here is the list of confirmed coaches coming to Ann Arbor to this point.

Jason Beck (offensive coordinator) from Utah, Jay Hill (defensive coordinator) from BYU, Micah Simon (wide receivers) from Utah, Koy Detmer Jr. (quarterbacks) from Utah, Freddie Whittingham (tight ends) from Utah and Jim Harding (offensive line) from Utah.

Here is what social media is saying.
