The Kyle Whittingham era in Ann Arbor has not gone to plan thus far, and we're beginning to see some of the fallout from that.
After a brutal 15-6 loss to the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday, the Michigan Wolverines
are reportedly set to part ways with offensive coordinator Jason Beck,midway through his first year with the team. Beck served as the OC under Whittingham with the Utah Utes last season, and came over to Ann Arbor alongside Whittingham this season.This move comes after Michigan lost its fourth game of the year and scored fewer than 7 points for the second time in three games.
Michigan has averaged just 13.3 points per game this year with Beck as the OC, which ranks 117th in the nation. There has been some consternation at the quarterback
position, with starter Bryce Underwood eventually being benched for Tommy Carr, but that move did not prove to be fruitful in terms of offensive production.
Going forward, Michigan is not playing for a ton in terms of the Big Ten title race or a potential spot in the College Football Playoff, but they do close out the season with a road game against the Oregon Ducks this week, followed by matchups against the UCLA Bruins and Ohio State Buckeyes before the regular season comes to a close.
