Making sense of Michigan’s second staff shake-up in as many years

John Beilein is no stranger to staff shake-ups. During his decade in charge, the Wolverines have now essentially hit the reboot button on the coaching staff three separate times.

Jeff Meyer and Billy Donlon’s departures for Butler and Northwestern follow a different pattern than last year’s moves. They aren’t leaving Ann Arbor to take head coaching roles, they are both going ‘home’ for roles that can only be considered a step down on a purely professional basis.
