It looks like the Wolverines’ ill luck is finally ending, with recent management changes bringing them back to form. In a recently released video, the team can be seen training hard under the leadership of the man who ended up taking over the reins from Ben Herbert after he and multiple others decided to ex.

Sherrone Moore, the current head coach for the Michigan Wolverines, has struggled to keep the team’s structure intact since Jim Harbaugh left for the LA Chargers in the NFL. The Harbaugh fever soon took over the Wolverines as Ben Herbert, Jesse Minter, Mike Elston, etc., all decided to leave Michigan to follow in his footsteps and join the LA Chargers. Now, as Moore’s doing his best effort in damage control, the new strength and conditioning coach, Justin Tress, will be the one to turn the tide for Michigan.

While Moore has suffered many losses due to Harbaugh’s departure, the team’s director of performance nutrition, Abigail O’Connor, decided to stay with the team through their hard time.
