Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore didn't have a relationship with new offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey prior to hiring him in mid-December. What sold Moore was how UNC's Omarion Hampton ran for 1,660 yards and 15 TDs as a first team All-ACC running back this season. That came after QB Drake Maye started the prior two seasons.
