Michigan has fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck, a day after the Wolverines lost 15-6 to Michigan State. After the game, Kyle Whittingham said he would evaluate everything after the season, "but not here, not right now." On Sunday, he said "a change in leadership was required for our offense."

, the offensive line coach and assistant head coach, is the interim coordinator for the rest of the regular season. Whittingham will run a national search for the permanent job. Beck was in the first year of a three-year deal that made him college football's highest-paid offensive coordinator in 2026.

  • Record: 5-4 overall, 2-4 in the Big Ten
  • Scoring: 19.6 points per game, No. 126 nationally
  • Saturday: 192 total yards in the loss
  • Bowl eligibility: Michigan needs one more win

Michigan has three regular-season games left: at Oregon, home against UCLA, then at Ohio State.

The Wrap

Speaking of those yurts at the Ann Arbor Golf Club: the results are in, and Michigan won the pregame contest even though it lost the game. Wolverine fans gave 137 gallons to Spartan fans' 100, for 237 gallons total that researchers will turn into fertilizer. Not a bad consolation prize.
