ANN ARBOR, Mich. ~ The University of Michigan has parted ways with offensive coordinator Jason Beck, a move that underscores the frustration surrounding a season that has fallen short of expectations in Ann Arbor. The decision came one day after the Wolverines suffered a 15-6 loss to rival Michigan State, leaving players, fans and alumni searching for answers as the team fights to keep its postseason hopes alive.
For head coach Kyle Whittingham, the change is aimed at giving the program its best chance to move forward after months of offensive struggles. Jim Harding will serve as interim offensive coordinator for the remainder of the season as Michigan searches for a long-term solution to revive an offense that has been among the least productive in major college football this year.
