Tyrone Wheatley, the former Michigan running back, is reportedly interviewing today for a position on Jim Harbaugh’s staff, according to Sam Webb. Wheatley, currently fifth on UofM’s all-time rushing list (4,178 yards), was previously the running back coach for the Buffalo Bills’.

Wheatley’s son, Tyrone Wheatley Jr., is a 4-star TE/DE that could potentially follow his dad to Ann Arbor. Wheatley would likely replace Fred Jackson, who has been Michigan’s running back coach since 1992, but recently retired.
For Michigan fans out there, I hear Jim has some good news coming re: staff hires. 2 good ones. Will update…
