Michigan Coach Kyle Whittingham Fires Embattled Offensive Coordinator Jason Beck
The move follows a 15-6 loss to Michigan State and comes as Michigan ranks 126th nationally in scoring offense, officials said.
- On Sunday, the Michigan Wolverines fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck after just nine games, following a 5-4 start marked by stagnant offensive play.
- Saturday's 15-6 loss to rival Michigan State served as the tipping point, with the offense producing just 192 yards of total offense in the embarrassing home defeat.
- Michigan ranks 126th of 138 FBS teams in scoring offense, averaging 19.6 points per game, while Beck's contract could require a buyout exceeding $9 million.
- Offensive line coach Jim Harding will serve as interim offensive coordinator for the remainder of the season, Head Coach Kyle Whittingham announced in a statement.
- Michigan will employ its sixth offensive coordinator in six seasons to begin 2027, highlighting the program's instability as Whittingham attempts to stabilize the offense.
