Michigan Names Former Ohio State Assistant Its New Special Teams Coordinator
Kerry Coombs brings 42 years of coaching, replacing JB Brown to improve Michigan's special teams after struggles in return game and kicking, announced after Ohio State loss.
- On Saturday night, University of Michigan announced Kerry Coombs as its new special teams coordinator, with Sherrone Moore confirming Coombs most recently served as Ohio State's defensive coordinator in 2020-21.
- Following the dismissal of JB Brown, former Michigan special teams coordinator, the University of Michigan football program quickly filled the vacancy after Hudson Hollenbeck ranked 10th in Big Ten punt average.
- A veteran coach, Kerry Coombs brings more than 40 years of experience and coached seven first‑round NFL cornerbacks during his recent 2022-24 tenure at University of Cincinnati, mentoring punter Mason Fletcher.
- This marks the second former Ohio State University assistant Sherrone Moore has added to his staff, following Tony Alford last year, and Coombs will return to Columbus next November.
- Coombs' second stint at Ohio State University ended unevenly, as he was stripped of play-calling duties two games into 2021 and the sides later agreed to part ways after University of Michigan announcement.
