No. 2 Michigan fired linebackers coach Chris Partridge on Friday.
No. 2 Michigan fired linebackers coach Chris Partridge on Friday, the latest turmoil for a Wolverines team that is under NCAA investigation for a sign-stealing scheme and will not have head coach Jim Harbaugh on the sideline until after next week's showdown against rival Ohio State. Athletic director Warde Manuel did not say why Partridge had been let go, citing employee privacy laws.
There was no reason given for Partridge's removal. The firing happens as the school is in the throes of a cheating scandal after they were accused of illegally stealing signs from other teams.
No. 2 Michigan has fired linebackers coach Chris Partridge a day before the Wolverines play at Maryland. Athletic director Warde Manuel says Rick Minter has been promoted to lead the linebackers.
