This is a big blow to Sherrone Moore and the new Michigan staff as Herbert has been instrumental in the development and culture of the team.
Herbert’s departure apparently had many players in tears and upset about the coach heading to LA.
Associate Strength Coach Justin Tress is set to take over for Herbert:
Am told Ben Herbert is leaving Michigan to join Jim Harbaugh/Chargers.
Moore promoting from within — Justin Tress, who was Herbert assistant strength coach, taking on role of director of strength staff
