Weiss spent two seasons on Jim Harbaugh’s team, helping the Wolverines to two wins over Ohio State, two Big Ten championships, and two college football playoff appearances. Michigan went 25-3 during that span.
After spending his first season at Ann Arbor coaching quarterbacks, Weiss took over as co-coordinator alongside Sherrone Moore, who was promoted to offensive line coach.
