Dan Ferrigno
	Position: Special Teams Coordinator/Tight Ends Coach

Dan Ferrigno is in his second season with the Wolverines as the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach. Ferrigno, who joined the U-M staff in 2011, has 33 years of collegiate coaching experience including 21 seasons in the Pac-10 Conference and two with Brady Hoke at San Diego State.

Ferrigno also oversaw the special teams units at San Diego State, Southern California, California and Oregon State. He served as tight ends coach at San Diego State, California, Pacific and San Francisco State.

Under Ferrigno, tight end Kevin Koger set career marks with 23 receptions for 244 yards and four touchdowns. His 23 receptions ranked third on the team, while his four touchdown catches tied for the team lead. Kicker Brendan Gibbons connected on 13-of-17 field goal attempts, including a game-winning 37-yarder in overtime to win the 2012 Allstate Sugar Bowl.

As the wide receivers coach at California (2006-07), Ferrigno helped the Bears post a 10-3 record in 2006 en route to winning the Holiday Bowl and a No. 14 final ranking in the AP poll. Thanks in part to wide receiver DeSean Jackson's Pac-10-best nine touchdowns in 2006, California's 280 points in conference play marked the second-highest total in school history.

From 2001-05, Ferrigno helped lead Oregon to four bowl games, aided by 23 100-yard receiving performances. He helped develop Keenan Howry into Oregon's first All-Pac-10 first-team wide receiver in 16 seasons, as well as Oregon's all-time leading receiver, Samie Parker.

Ferrigno was tight end Tony Gonzalez's position coach at California. A first-team all-Pac-10 selection and NFL All-Pro, Gonzalez was the 13th overall pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1997 draft.

Ferrigno and his wife, Shawna, have three daughters and three sons.
