Key quotes from Michigan coach Sherrone Moore

• On hiring new special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs and what he brings to Michigan, after revealing that Coombs has already begun work and will coach in the bowl game: “He brings a lot of energy, excitement,” Moore said of the hire. “A veteran presence that’s done it at a high level — in the NFL and college, obviously, and then in high school. I think it’s awesome when you’ve brought somebody in that has high school experience. He’s an elite recruiter and developer of men. Very excited about the hire, and the connection has been built over time, and he’s going to do a great job for us.”

• On senior linebacker Ernest Hausmann, who missed Michigan’s final two regular season games: “Ernest is going through some things. I don’t really want to talk on or speak on, just things from a personal standpoint. He’s also been dealing with a thumb [injury] that happened in the Northwestern game. So, just things that he’s been dealing with, and we’re just here to support him. That’s it.”

• On the status of Michigan junior running back Justice Haynes for the bowl game: “It’s something we’ll look at and we’ll see. His progress is going really well, so we’ll get more of an answer and clarity as we go through this week.”

• On Michigan sophomore running back Jordan Marshall, who was dealing with a shoulder ailment: “Jordan will be great. He fought through that. He had a shoulder that got dinged up in the game before, toughed through it, man, tried as much as he could. You wish he could’ve played the whole game, right, with 6 carries for 70-something yards. But really, he pushed as much as he could, and when he couldn’t, he couldn’t. But he’ll be ready for the bowl game, absolutely.”
