Herbert was on Wisconsin’s staff for 11 seasons before heading to Arkansas. He was not retained as the Razorbacks made a coaching change following the 2017 season.
Michigan was in need of a new strength coach after moving on from Kevin Tolbert, who had been with the program since Jim Harbaugh’s arrival in 2015.
