Michigan fires offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell

Michigan fired offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell on Tuesday, ending his three-year tenure with the team and his first as play-caller.

Campbell oversaw an offense that had slipped to 112th nationally in scoring and 129th in passing this fall, while using three different starting quarterbacks. He served as Michigan's quarterbacks coach in 2022, mentoring eventual first-round NFL draft pick J.J. McCarthy when the team won its first national championship since 1997.

When Michigan promoted offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore to head coach, Moore then promoted Campbell to the coordinator role.

"This was a decision that I felt was in the best interest of our football program," Moore said in a statement.
