There will not be any “major overhauls” to the offense under Jim Harding, who does not have extensive play calling experience, per Whittingham. Whitt will not get more involved on offense, and assistant OL coach Mike Lynch will have a bigger role coaching the line.

Seeing it like this shows just how bad it really was.
Kyle Whittingham inherited a 9-3 team and a $40M roster that was ranked in the top 15 of the preseason AP Poll. It took a lot of effort to retain those players.
He’s now blaming the players for Michigan’s historically bad season. Beyond shameful.

All of us get caught up with the wins and losses. That is sports fandom. With that said I do totally agree with Big Ben that Dan’s speech below is the best I’ve ever heard.
My favorite Dan Campbell post game locker room speech of all time
It’s leadership moments like this that make Dan Campbell one of the best coaches in the NFL. There’s no one I’d rather have to lead the team through the trauma of last week than Dan.
He’s got every person in that rooms back and empowers them all. Squeezes the best out of everyone around him.
Whoever was holding Jack’s jersey during the breakout, phenomenal
Kyle Whittingham on keeping Michigan motivated for its last 3 games:
"It's my job as a coach to rally them back up and get them ready to compete for these last three games. ... I don't know, are there any more trophies in these last three games? I don't think there's any more trophies. Anyway..."

Per the terms of his contract, Jason Beck is set to be owed up to $10.1 million dollars. That's nearly $7 million in salary and nearly $3.1 in retention bonuses. The contract is subject to off-set and mitigation. It's believed to be the biggest buyout for a college assistant.
Michigan’s Kyle Whittingham: “The results have not matched our desired outcome & I felt a change in leadership was required for our offense. We need to put our offensive players & the entire team in the best possible position to be successful.”
Huge Opinion:
Letting Beck go had to happen but if the o-line coach is calling the plays the last 3 games that may be even worse than Beck. The o- line is a big factor in why the Michigan offense has sucked this year.
