Who is Michigan's new LB coach, Rick Minter? More about Chris Partridge's replacement

On Friday, the Michigan Wolverines relieved Chris Partridge and elevated Rick Minter as their new linebackers coach. The news comes only a day after Michigan announced that Jim Harbaugh would serve his three-game suspension levied by the conference around a sign-stealing scandal.

Minter was born on Oct. 4, 1954, in Nash, Texas. He attended Texas High School in Texarkana and graduated from Henderson State University with a master's degree.

Minter started his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Henderson State University in 1977. He has worked with a number of other prominent programs, including Notre Dame and South Carolina.

Minter got his first and only head coaching job in 1993 with the Cincinnati Bearcats. He served the team for 10 years and recorded a 54-63-1 record with them.

In 2013, Minter was appointed as the linebackers coach for the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles. He held the role for three seasons before returning to coach at the collegiate level.

Minter was appointed as the defensive assistant coach for the Wolverines in 2022.
