Drevno worked with Jim Harbaugh for eleven straight years at previous stops such as San Diego (2003-2006) as the offensive coordinator/offensive line coach, Stanford (2007-2010) as the tight ends coach for two years before switching over to the offensive line coach, and the San Francisco 49ers (2011-2013) as the offensive line coach. In 2014 he went to USC to take over as the Running Game Coordinator and offensive line coach.

Tim Drevno talking to MGoBlue:
“I believe that any great football team has a great offensive line and a great defensive line,” said Drevno. “That’s the foundation of your team right there.
Michigan Wolverines
“Everybody wants to be Tyrone Wheatley or Desmond Howard on offense at Michigan. Nobody says, ‘Let’s get in the middle of the street and push this car with a wide base down the road.’ But that’s what offensive linemen do, and that’s huge to the success of a team.”
“I had an opportunity to take on more responsibility at USC,” said Drevno, “and whatever takes you out of your comfort zone makes you better.”
It prepared Drevno for taking responsibility for the entire offense at Michigan, which finished next-to-last in Big Ten scoring with 20.9 points per game. Drevno said he’ll keep the Wolverines in a pro-style offense and likes the attitude he’s sensed in initial meetings with his new players.
“These guys have a want-to (attitude),” said Drevno. “They are intelligent and want to be leaders. They have the chemistry necessary to be exceptionally good.”
