Poggi joined Harbaugh's staff at Michigan back in 2016 as an offensive analyst. He would eventually work his way to becoming the associate head coach under Harbaugh from 2021-22 before taking the head coaching job at Charlotte. Poggi was often credited for being a critical piece in reshaping the culture at Michigan during that 2021 season.

After accepting the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coaching job in January, Jim Harbaugh publicly endorsed Sherrone Moore to succeed him at Michigan. Moore, after all, had a distinct advantage on his résumé over other potential candidates: 1-0 against Ohio State as an acting head coach.

While Ohio State enters The Game ranked No. 2 for the umpteenth time, for the first time since 2017, the Wolverines will come into the game unranked and they’re significant underdogs. But Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore doesn’t want to hear about any of that.
