Wolverine Legend Desmond Howard Returns to Michigan as Senior Coach
Ann Arbor, MI – In a move that has sent shockwaves of excitement throughout the University of Michigan community, Wolverine legend and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard has been named senior coach for the football team. Howard, who won the prestigious award in 1991, is returning to his alma mater to motivate the next generation of Wolverines and bring back championship glory.
“I am thrilled to be back at Michigan, where it all started for me,” said Howard, beaming with pride. “I’m looking forward to working with the current players, coaches, and staff to help them reach their full potential and bring another championship to Ann Arbor.”
Howard’s return to Michigan is seen as a major coup for the program, which has been searching for a spark to reignite its championship form. The Wolverines have not won a Big Ten championship since 2004, and the addition of Howard is expected to bring a much-needed boost of energy and motivation to the team.
As senior coach, Howard will work closely with head coach Sherrone Moore and the rest of the coaching staff to develop a winning mentality and culture within the program. He will also be involved in recruiting, player development, and community outreach, using his legendary status to inspire and motivate young athletes throughout the state of Michigan.

 

“Desmond is a Michigan legend and a true champion,” said Sherrone Moore. “We’re thrilled to have him on board and can’t wait to see the impact he’ll make on our program. His passion, energy, and expertise will be invaluable to our team.”
Howard’s playing career at Michigan was nothing short of spectacular. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1991, awarded to the most outstanding college football player, and was a key member of the Wolverines’ 1992 national championship team. He went on to have a successful NFL career, playing for several teams, including the Washington Redskins, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Oakland Raiders.
After retiring from football, Howard transitioned to a successful broadcasting career, working as an analyst for ESPN and other networks. However, he’s always remained connected to his alma mater, participating in various events and initiatives throughout the years.
“Desmond’s dedication to Michigan and its football program is unmatched,” said Warde Manuel, athletic director. “We’re excited to have him back on campus, sharing his knowledge, experience, and passion with our student-athletes.”

Howard’s return is also expected to have a significant impact on recruiting. His presence on the coaching staff will undoubtedly attract top talent to Ann Arbor, as prospective players will be eager to learn from a legend and Heisman Trophy winner.
“Desmond Howard’s return to Michigan is a huge win for our program,” said one Big Ten recruiter. “He’s a household name in the Midwest, and his involvement will undoubtedly help us attract top prospects.”
As the Wolverines prepare for the upcoming season, Howard’s enthusiasm and energy are already palpable. He’s been spotted on the practice field, working with players and coaches, and spreading his infectious enthusiasm.
“Desmond’s got that spark, that fire that ignites the passion and drive in our players,” said Sherrone Moore. “We’re excited to see him share that with our team and help us reach new heights.”
With Howard on board, the Wolverines are poised to make a championship run. His legendary status, combined with his passion and expertise, make him the perfect addition to the Michigan coaching staff.
“We’re all in this together,” said Howard. “We’re gonna work hard, play hard, and bring that championship glory back to Ann Arbor. Go Blue!”
