Michigan Football Faces Unspoken Legacy as Former Coach Jerry Hanlon Passes Away

Michigan football has a long and storied history of great head coaches and amazing assistants. As Michigan embarks on its latest era with Kyle Whittingham as the new head coach, the university will reflect on a past era after a former assistant coach has passed away.

Long-time assistant coach Jerry Hanlon, who also continued his work with the school after his coaching career ended, passed away on Sunday at the age of 96.

Hanlon’s career in football began as a player for Miami (OH) from 1953-55, playing for Ara Parseghian. He would then begin coaching high school football in 1957 before heading to the college ranks as an assistant at Dayton in 1965. Hanlon returned to Miami (OH) in 1966 under Bo Schembechler, beginning his long relationship with the Hall of Fame coach.
