Michigan Football head coach Kyle Whittingham has released a statement following the firing of offensive coordinator Jason Beck:
In a statement released by the program, Whittingham explained why he made the decision:
“The results have not matched our desired outcome, and I felt that a change in leadership was required for our offense,” Whittingham said. “We need to put our offensive players and the entire team in the best possible position to be successful.
“We appreciate the hard work and effort that Jason has dedicated to the program. Jason is a great man and coach, and unfortunately, it did not work out the way that we wanted it to at Michigan. We wish Jason and his family nothing but the best in the future.”
Offensive line coach Jim Harding will serve as interim offensive coordinator for the rest of the season, and Whittingham will conduct a national search for the next offensive coordinator for the Wolverines.
