Michigan's hiring of Tony Alford as their run game coordinator and running back coach has caused a stir in the Ohio State football realm.
Alford's departure from Ohio State after nine years was unexpected, especially during spring practice. While it is not unprecedented for coaches to leave for rival teams, the timing and the personal impact on the players make it significant.
