Pep Hamilton was Jim Harbaugh‘s wide receivers coach at Stanford in 2010, and moved up to become the Cardinal’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2011-12 after Harbaugh left for the San Francisco 49ers and then-offensive coordinator David Shaw was promoted to head coach.
Hamilton left to become the Indianapolis Colts’ offensive coordinator in 2013 (where he worked with former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck) and spent this season as the Cleveland Browns’ assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach.
But a Hamilton-Harbaugh reunion could be in the works.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported Saturday Hamilton is considering crossing Lake Erie to join Michigan’s staff.
#Browns may have more of a staff shakeup than imagined: AHC-Offense Pep Hamilton is weighing a departure to join #Michigan & Jim Harbaugh.

If #Browns de facto OC Pep Hamilton leaves for #Michigan, it won't be a firing. Cleveland wants him to stay. He likes being a college coach

Michigan is in the market for an offensive coordinator after Jedd Fisch left to become the offensive coordinator at UCLA last week.
