Michigan football reportedly got its man (though it hasn’t been officially announced by the university as of yet) as Sherrone Moore has hired Chip Lindsey to be the team’s new offensive coordinator.
At 50 years old, Lindsey has been around the block, having spent most of his career in the ACC and SEC footprints. He’s spent time at Troy (as the head coach), Auburn, North Carolina (most recently), UCF, and even Arizona State.
There’s a lot to like about Lindsey and what he brings to the table for a Wolverines team that is looking to revamp its offense while also bringing in five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood. Here are five things that you’ll want to know about his philosophy, his track record as a recruiter, his offensive production, and more.

Lindsey got his start coaching high school football in Alabama, working his way up from being an assistant to a head coach in that state to begin a high school coach in Georgia to becoming a quarterbacks coach at Troy in the Football Bowl Subdivision level. He’s had high-level jobs, mid-level, and low-level. He’s been a head coach in the FBS, as well — at Troy — where he was 15-19 at a place that’s generally difficult to win at.
