Greg Mattison, Michigan’s defensive coordinator under Brady Hoke, was retained by Jim Harbaugh on the UM staff. Although Mattison won’t have the DC position next year (he’s now the D-line coach), he reportedly turned down a number of NFL and college positions to stay with the Wolverines.
Greg Mattison says he had both college and NFL offers. He says he wanted to stay at Michigan.

Mattison is a very well respected coach having spent decades in the NFL and college. Last year’s Michigan defense ranked third in the Big Ten.
