Michigan will hire Wink Martindale as defensive coordinator.

The Giants and Martindale parted ways in January after an up-and-down 2023 season in which the defense finished 27th overall but tied for first in the NFL in turnovers created and was easily the team's best unit.

Martindale will replace Jesse Minter, who left the program after two years Tuesday to follow Jim Harbaugh and serve as the Los Angeles Chargers' defensive coordinator.
