Michigan football will have a new direction on offense in 2025, and it appears as if we'll have an idea soon of what the Wolverines may look like on that side of the ball.

Head coach Sherrone Moore told reporters Tuesday a deal could be in place for Michigan's next offensive coordinator "in the next day or so" during a press conference leading up to the Wolverines' ReliaQuest Bowl matchup with No. 11 Alabama on New Year's Eve (Noon ET).

"Pretty close," Moore said when asked for an update on his OC search. "So, thinking the next day or so I'll have an answer."

Sounds like Sherrone Moore has an idea who Michigan’s next OC will be. He said it could be done in the next day or so.

Moore relieved former Wolverines offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell of his duties as OC and quarterbacks coach back on Dec. 3, just three days after Michigan concluded its regular season with a 13-10 win over Ohio State in Columbus. The Wolverines struggled offensively throughout the 2024 campaign, finishing near or at the bottom of the Big Ten and the nation in several categories.

With five-star Belleville (Mich.) quarterback Bryce Underwood signed and set to join the Wolverines next season, Moore hopes to breath new life into Michigan's offense in 2025 and beyond. Moore also confirmed the Wolverines will seek to add a quarterback via the transfer portal this offseason.

With the portal currently open, and transfer players already being recruited to new homes, Moore was asked how much urgency he felt in making an offensive coordinator hire quickly.

"You've got to have urgency in everything you do," the head coach said. "But, we want to make sure we found the right fit, the right person, not only scheme-wise, football-wise, development-wise, like I talked about, but also a love for this place, that when they walked into this building, you could feel the love that I have injected in them, you know? I want that type of person to lead our offense, and I think we're in that place.
