Dave Portnoy calls for Firing of Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy is calling for the firing of Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham and offensive coordinator Jason Beck following the Wolverines' 15-6 loss to Michigan State. The defeat, which saw Michigan surrender the Paul Bunyan Trophy for the first time since 2021, pushed the longtime supporter to demand major changes to the program's leadership.

Portnoy posted his frustration on X on November 8, describing the team as an "absolute joke" and releasing a video in which he urged the coaches to leave. He criticized the lack of creative offensive plays and questioned why quarterback Underwood was not given a chance to replace Tommy Carr, who threw two interceptions and failed to produce a passing touchdown.

Michigan's offense struggled significantly in the rivalry game, committing four turnovers while failing to force a single takeaway. The Spartans outgained the Wolverines by 50 passing yards and more than doubled their rushing production, leaving Michigan with only 192 total yards of offense.
