Michigan Hires Chip Lindsey as Offensive Coordinator/QB Coach

Lindsey and the Tar Heels averaged 32.3 points and 423.3 yards per game this season. Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore said in a statement Lindsey has a mentality similar to his. 

“Coach Lindsey is an innovative offensive mind who likes to run and pass the ball with great efficiency and balance,” Moore said. “After spending a considerable amount of time together, I knew that Chip was the right fit to coordinate our offense. We share the same philosophy regarding structure, scheme and player development, and I know his leadership of the offense will place our players in the best position to succeed. We are excited to have Chip, Cecily and their children join our University of Michigan and Michigan Football family.”

Lindsey shared the same kind of sentiment.

“I am excited to join Coach Moore’s staff at the University of Michigan,” Lindsey said. “We share the same vision for offensive football and Coach Moore has assembled an outstanding staff that is aligned in its objectives to help our players succeed. I look forward to leading and serving the young men in this program while helping them achieve their goals on and off the football field. My family and I are excited to join the Michigan family. Go Blue!”
