🚨Firing Jason Beck is NOT ENOUGH.
Kyle Whittingham must be GONE.
He does not care about the rivalries, tradition, or Michigan.
He also didn't willingly fire Beck.
This feels like an appropriate time to say that Michigan completely failed its highest-rated QB in program history.
In Year 1, Bryce Underwood played under Sherrone Moore, apparently without a dedicated QB coach. Michigan went 9-3 in the regular season with him as the starter. By year's end, his head coach had been arrested and fired.
In Year 2, Underwood (with a new head coach and OC) lasted 5.5 games in one of the nation's worst offenses before losing his starting job to true freshman Tommy Carr. Three weeks later, with the offense still struggling mightily, his latest OC was fired.
Before committing to Michigan, Underwood said the lack of QB development was the biggest reason he had looked elsewhere.
Two years in, those concerns look painfully justified.

Likewise, for those who say Michigan should fire OC Jason Beck (and I agree), it's probably not that simple. UM would owe him $3M/yr for 3 more years - another insane buyout, unchecked by UM's vacuum of leadership - and his staff similar terms. Does UM want to pay that? Donors?
Thoughts on UM QB Bryce Underwood.
-No, he's not performed anywhere near expectations, but UM didn't have a QB coach last year, and this year's OC is one of the worst on record.
-When pulled for Carr, he's been the first to cheer him on after a touchdown. A true captain. (1/2)
@KingTerrbear Michigan needs a new OC. Called the correct offense on that drive to tie the game, first play in OT, back to the East West bullshit. If he can't scheme for the players he has, he needs to go
