Michigan football fires Jason Beck after loss to Spartans
The Michigan Wolverines have fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck following a 15-6 loss to Michigan State on Saturday at Michigan Stadium. The defeat cost the team the Paul Bunyan Trophy and prompted head coach Kyle Whittingham to announce the change on Sunday, effective immediately.
Offensive line coach Jim Harding will serve as interim offensive coordinator for the remainder of the regular season. Whittingham cited offensive inconsistency as the primary reason for the decision, noting that the team had scored six points or fewer in two of its last three home games.
Michigan fell to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in Big Ten play. The program has not experienced three first-half shutouts at home in a single season since 1934. Whittingham will conduct a national search for a permanent replacement after the season concludes.
