The Michigan football program will have a new offensive coordinator for the 2025 season.
Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore fired offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell on Tuesday after three years with the program. The 2024 season was his first as offensive coordinator and it didn’t go that well.
The Wolverines struggled on offense throughout the season and only had the 112th-scoring offense in the country. It was a decision that Moore didn’t take lightly.
“This was a decision that I felt was in the best interest of our football program. I want to thank Kirk for his hard work and dedication to the university, Michigan football and our student-athletes. I wish him well in his future coaching endeavors,” Moore said in a statement, via ESPN .
After the move was made, Campbell delivered a classy statement, thanking the Wolverines for three great seasons.
“The last three years in Ann Arbor have been nothing short of special. The University of Michigan is an amazing place and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity Coach Harbaugh gave me to work here,” part of the statement read .
“-2023 National Champion-2X Big Ten Champion
-3-0 vs Ohio State
-3-0 vs Michigan State
-Coached Brees-Griese QB of the Year (only one in Michigan history).”
“Thank you to the entire Michigan fan base. My wife, Lauren, and my daughters, Riley and Kinsley, will miss the many players that became family and calling this place home.”
