Minter played a crucial role in Michigan’s recent successes, including their first national title in 26 seasons, two Big Ten championships, and appearances in the College Football Playoff.

Sources indicate no expected obstacles in Martindale’s hiring, signaling an optimistic outlook for Michigan’s defensive future under his leadership.
