Michigan Fires Offensive Coordinator Jason Beck Less Than 24 Hours After Rivalry Loss
ANN ARBOR, Michigan — The University of Michigan football program announced on November 8 that it has fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck, less than 24 hours after the Wolverines' 15-6 home upset loss to Michigan State on the night of November 7.
Head coach Kyle Whittingham said in a statement that the offense had not met expectations and that a change in leadership of the offensive staff was necessary. Beck followed Whittingham from the University of Utah to Ann Arbor this season; highly regarded as Utah's offensive coordinator, his system never took hold at Michigan, which is averaging just 302.6 yards per game, 126th among 138 FBS teams.
Offensive line coach and assistant head coach Jim Harding will serve as interim offensive coordinator for the rest of the regular season. Michigan fell to 5-4 with the loss and next travels to face Oregon.
