Former Secondary Coach to Return to Ann Arbor?

A certain poster on the GBW message board has posted a rumor that Vance Bedford will be returning to Ann Arbor as Michigan’s new defensive backs coach. Ron Lee left Michigan as the cornerbacks coach last January and the position has remained open ever since. I’m not exactly sure what Bedford’s exact title would be as I’m unsure if he’ll coach just the cornerbacks or the safeties as well (Ron English currently coaches that position).

Bedford was originally on the Michigan coaching staff from 1995-1998 and also has been with Oklahoma State on two separate occasions and the Chicago Bears for six years. Last month, Bedford left Oklahoma State after being the defensive coordinator, which would make perfect sense if he does indeed return to Michigan.

This would be a great hire in my opinion as he is a great secondary coach. Just ask Charles Woodson.
