ANN ARBOR, Mich. – After an inept offensive performance by the offense during the 2024 season, the Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore has fired offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell.
According to Moore, the firing occurred on Tuesday (Dec. 4) as the men in maize finished their defending championship season with a dismal 7-5 record.

Under Campbell’s direction, the Wolverines' offense finished the season ranked 128th out of 134th in FBS in yards per game, 122nd in yards per play, and 111th in points per game.
“After a thorough assessment of our offense, I made the decision to relieve Kirk Campbell of his duties and move in a different direction,” said Moore. “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.”
Tight end coach Steve Casula will serve as Team 145’s offensive coordinator on an interim basis ahead of their bowl game.
Moore, who finished his first season with a big win over the Ohio State Buckeyes and had his players continue to play for bowl eligibility during a lost season, said he will conduct a national search for a new offensive coordinator for the Wolverines.
Campbell was hired as quarterbacks coach under Jim Harbaugh and helped the men in maize win the College Football Playoff National Championship during the 2023 season.
Moore hired Campbell after he was promoted to replace Harbaugh, who promoted Campbell to offensive coordinator and play caller during the 2024 season.
