Report: Michigan hires former Paramus Catholic coach Chris Partridge

Former Paramus Catholic football coach Chris Partridge has accepted a job as a recruiting operations coordinator for Michigan, several sources close to the coach confirmed to The Record on Saturday.

"This opportunity is so good, because he gets to touch the nation in terms of recruiting and really get a good grasp of a program’s goals," new Paramus Catholic coach Blake Costanzo said. "It’s going to be a good opportunity to broaden his horizons for the future. It’s a big step for him."

Partridge didn't have any past connections with the current Michigan staff, but current Paramus Catholic offensive coordinator Greg Russo said a staff member from Brady Hoke’s regime vouched for Partridge.
