Michigan football and linebackers coach George Helow have mutually agreed to part ways, according to Fox Sports college football reporter Bruce Feldman.
A message seeking comment from the U-M football spokesperson has not yet been returned.
Last week, U-M brought back former assistant coach Chris Partridge to the staff in an undisclosed role. Partridge coached linebackers in Ann Arbor from 2016-17.
Helow, 26, was hired by U-M before the 2021 season from Maryland, where he was special teams coordinator and inside linebackers coach. Since then, the Michigan defense was ranked in the top five in points allowed in 2021 and last season. The Wolverines won the Big Ten and reached the College Football Playoff both years.
Last month, Michigan fired co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Matt Weiss days after he was placed on administrative leave while being investigated for possible computer crimes that took place at Schembechler Hall. The new quarterbacks coach is Kirk Campbell, who served as an off-field analyst for U-M last season.
