George Helow, the linebackers coach of the University of Michigan’s football program, has announced that he will depart the program after spending two seasons there. The decision to part ways was mutual, with both parties agreeing that it was time to pursue other opportunities.
Helow joined the Wolverines in 2018, coming from the University of Maryland where he had served as an assistant defensive backs and linebackers coach. In his two years at Michigan, the team achieved a 17-9 record and a 9-7 record in Big Ten play.
Helow has not yet announced his next move, but he has been linked with a number of college and NFL teams, including the Buffalo Bills and his former employer, Maryland. It is expected that Helow will make a decision in the coming days and weeks as he looks to make his next move.
The Wolverines will now be on the lookout for a new linebackers coach who can continue to help the program build on its success and reach its potential. Helow leaves big shoes to fill, but the team is confident that it will find someone to take over his role and continue to help the team reach new heights.
Helow’s departure will be felt by the program, but the team wishes him all the best in the future and are thankful for the contributions he made during his time at Michigan.
