Hoke puts finishing touches on first Michigan staff

Nearly four weeks after being named as Michigan’s head coach, Brady Hoke has finalized his inaugural Wolverines coaching staff.

Hoke announced via a release earlier today the hiring of Curt Mallory as defensive backs coach and Jerry Montgomery as defensive line coach.

“Curt and Jerry are exceptional teachers and will help our young men develop both on the football field and in the community,” said Hoke. “They are a great fit for our defensive staff and will work very well with Greg (Mattison) and Mark (Smith). This group will work tirelessly to make the defensive effort what we expect at Michigan.”

Mallory is a Michigan alum who spent the past four seasons as a defensive coordinator at Illinois (2007-09) and Akron (2010). Montgomery was Wyoming’s defensive line coach for the past two seasons.
