Former Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges is now at San Jose State.
The Spartans made the hire official on Thursday. Borges will coach the team's quarterbacks in addition to being the offensive coordinator.
San Jose State also announced the hire of another former assistant, Dan Ferrigno. Ferrigno will be the tight ends coach and special teams coach.
Borges was Michigan's offensive coordinator under Brady Hoke until he was fired after the 2013 season. In his last season at Michigan, the Wolverines averaged over 30 points per game. However, the Wolverines had significant issues running the football. Michigan averaged just over 125 yards a game and was 102nd in the country.
He was replaced by Doug Nussmeier, who is now at Florida after Hoke was fired following the 2014 season.
The hires of Borges and Ferrigno mean that San Jose State has former Michigan assistants at all three coordinator position. Former Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Robinson is the Spartans' defensive coordinator. He was Michigan's defensive coordinator in 2009 and 2010.
No, SJS head coach Ron Caragher is not a former Michigan assistant. However, he's a former UCLA assistant and both Borges and Robinson have previously coached for the Bruins.
