On Tuesday evening, Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore made the decision to move on from offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Kirk Campbell. Campbell spent the last three seasons in Ann Arbor. He came in 2022 as an analyst before moving up to coach quarterbacks in 2023, before becoming the offensive coordinator in '24. But after a '24 season in which the Wolverines were 128th in total offense, Moore made the move to bring in someone else.

Campbell released his first statement his being relieved of his duties.

"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.

-2023 National Champion
-2X Big Ten Champion
-3-0 vs Ohio 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.

Forever, Go Blue!"
