Michigan will have a new leader on offense in year two under Sherrone Moore.
After struggling to move the ball all season, Michigan has fired first-year offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kirk Campbell. Moore made the announcement Tuesday.
“After a thorough assessment of our offense, I made the decision to relieve Kirk Campbell of his duties and move in a different direction," Moore said in a statement. “This was a decision that I felt was in the best interest of our football program.
"I want to thank Kirk for his hard work and dedication to the university, Michigan Football and our student-athletes. I wish him well in his future coaching endeavors.”
Campbell, 38, was a holdover from Jim Harbaugh's staff after joining the program as an offensive assistant in 2022 and serving as quarterbacks coach in 2023. Michigan's offense never found its rhythm this year after losing J.J. McCarthy and the entire starting offensive line from last year's national title team to the NFL.
The Wolverines scored just 22.2 points per game, which ranked 112th in the country. Out of 133 FBS teams, they ranked 128th in total offense and 129th in passing offense.
The next offensive coordinator should have better tools at his disposal, highlighted by the arrival of the No. 1 recruit in the country quarterback Bryce Underwood.
Tight ends coach Steve Casula will serve as interim offensive coordinator in preparation for Michigan's bowl game while the program conducts a national search for Campbell's replacement.
