Michigan football head coach Kyle Whittingham knows the importance of an elite offensive line coach. That's why he had Jim Harding on the staff for so many years at Utah.
It's also why he was determined to bring Harding with him when he was hired as the Michigan football head coach back in December.
Harding has coached numerous all-conference selections and NFL draft picks. As it happens, the Michigan offensive line coach is set to have two former pupils selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.
