After displaying Flashes late in the two-loss match against Notre Dame, Hart got a chance to take center stage in the third game against San Diego. He ran 25 times 121 yards that day and never looked back.

After completing his unforgettable career in Ann Arbor, Hart was drafted into the sixth round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. He spent the next three seasons with the club before a knee injury accelerated his retirement after the 2010 campaign.

Then, in 2011, “Coach” Hart was born.

Hart started his coaching career in Eastern Michigan as an attacking quality coach before he was promoted in 2012 to a full-back coach. In his second and final season, he helped Hart back in Bronson Hill He crossed the 1,000 yard mark for the first time in his career. Hill was the first EMU to return to do so since 2003.

Respect for Hart is growing in Michigan as well, particularly in the Metro Detroit area.

The pairing with Harbaugh is something many expected would never happen after the verbal sparring between the two in 2007. Ten years later, the hatchet is officially buried when Harbaugh spoke with Hart about the success Tyrone Wheatley As a coach back jogging. Conversations stalled there when Harbaugh chose instead to make more planning adjustments by hiring a second offensive line coach at Greg Fry.
