In spite of a sluggish offensive performance on Saturday, Michigan had a golden opportunity to pull off a massive upset on the road against No. 8 Indiana. But as has often been the case this season, questionable coaching decisions (particularly with the play calling) seemed to work against the Wolverines in critical moments.

Although plenty of anger was directed at head coach Sherrone Moore, there doesn't seem to be any doubt among the fans that offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell and defensive coordinator Wink Martindale need to go.

Here are just some of the reactions from fans following Michigan's 20-15 loss to Indiana:

Wink is too expensive to fire mid season. But Sherrone should 100% make a statement to the fans and to the program and fire Kirk Campbell tomorrow. There’s no excuse not too. It’s the worst Michigan offense since the Hoke days and you are 5-5.

I like Sherrone Moore but man, he needs help. He needs clock management help. He needs replay help. He needs a new OC.

Michigan Football is going nowhere with Sherrone Moore as head coach. I don’t care how much they spend on a roster. Talent doesn’t outweigh poor coaching. He has to go, period.

3rd and goal and you bring the running QB in and send his lead blocker in motion, you literally telegraph where the play is going before the ball is snapped…fire Kirk Campbell and Wink Martindale into the sun! #CoachingMalpractice

Although Sherrone Moore's job is safe for now, there's no question that he'll need to make some difficult decisions with his staff during the off-season.
