Michigan’s head coach was fired simply because….
On Saturday morning, the University of Michigan held an initial press conference where Sherrone Moore was announced as the new head coach.One topic of discussion was what Moore plans to do with the coaching staff. Moore said he communicates with employees and wants to keep as many as possible. Some personnel could be moved to the Los Angeles Chargers with Jim Harbaugh, and the personnel could be promoted to the Wolverines.Some changes can be seen on offense – Moore was Michigan’s offensive line coach and offensive coordinator and play caller. There will undoubtedly be a new offensive coordinator, and Moore was asked if he will remain a play caller in 2024.”You haven’t decided yet,” Moore said. “Probably not. But we had a good idea who we were going to put in that position.”.
While Moore didn’t name a name, it would be a logical assumption that quarterbacks coach Kirk Campbell will be promoted to offensive coordinator and call the plays as well. Campbell called the play in the season opener at Michigan, where he called the play while both Moore and Harbaugh were suspended. Michigan outgained East Carolina 30-3, gaining 402 yards.If the 37-year-old Campbell is promoted to offensive coordinator, it wouldn’t be his first rodeo at the position — Campbell was Old Dominion’s coach in 2021 and ’22.”I absolutely love Kirk,” former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy said last year. “Not just the fact that he’s a wizard in the passing game and QB development, but because he’s a great friend. Big brother.”McCarthy also described Campbell’s coaching style as hands-on.”Kirk said, “Let’s poison the square now. Let’s get to the heart of the matter. He just has that lively energy that we all have “He’s very kind,” McCarthy said. It will facilitate our growth as this is the biggest growth area for us.”.
