“The team did hear from Mike Hart in the locker room. He wanted to tell them that he is doing OK, he is with them in spirit,” Taft said.
Hart played running back at Michigan and was hired by his alma mater as their running backs coach last year. He serves as the team’s run game coordinator in addition to being the running backs coach.
Prior to returning to Michigan, Hart coached at Indiana from 2017-2020.
