Michigan Wolverines' head coach Sherrone Moore has announced the dismissal of offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell following a season of offensive struggles. The decision came just three days after Michigan's impressive 13-10 upset victory over arch-rival and then second-ranked Ohio State.
Moore, in a statement released on Tuesday, cited a comprehensive evaluation of the team's offensive performance as the basis for relieving Campbell of his duties. Campbell, who was previously promoted to the position by former coach Jim Harbaugh before his departure to lead the Los Angeles Chargers, has been let go as the team looks to pivot in a new direction.
As an interim solution, Moore has appointed tight ends coach Steve Casula to take over as the team's offensive coordinator while a search for a permanent replacement is conducted. Campbell, who had previously served as Michigan's quarterbacks coach during their national title-winning campaign, had also worked as an offensive analyst during the 2022 season, a role he had previously held at Penn State.
The move to part ways with Campbell underscores Michigan's commitment to revitalizing its offensive strategy in the upcoming seasons. Moore's decision reflects the program's dedication to achieving sustained success and competitiveness in the highly competitive college football landscape.
