Jim Harbaugh reveals fill-in assistant plans for Michigan during Mike Hart’s absence
Published:
Jim Harbaugh mentioned who will be taking Mike Hart’s place on the Michigan sideline for Week 7. Hart had a medical emergency and had to be carted off the field against Indiana.
Fred Jackson used to be the running backs coach at Michigan and was last in the position in 2014. He has been an offensive analyst for the team since June, and will be filling in for Hart during this time.
Brad Galli of WXYZ Detroit posted the video of Harbaugh confirming Hart’s replacement. The Michigan HC wasn’t sure about when Hart will be back on the Michigan sidelines. Hart updated everyone on how he’s doing Monday, and is looking forward to rejoining the team soon.

Michigan beat Indiana 31-10 on Saturday to stay as one of the few undefeated teams left in the B1G. Michigan has a tough task in Week 7 with Penn State coming to town.
