Michigan fires Jason Beck: Wolverines will owe significant buyout after parting with struggling OC in Year 1

Michigan has dismissed offensive coordinator Jason Beck following a lackluster 15-6 defeat against Michigan State. The program, which currently holds a 5-4 record, struggled significantly under Beck, ranking near the bottom of the FBS in total, scoring, and passing offense.

Jim Harding will step in as the interim play-caller for the remainder of the season.

This coaching change carries a substantial financial burden, as the university is expected to pay a buyout potentially reaching $10.2 million. The move follows other unsuccessful attempts to spark the offense, including a mid-season decision to replace starting quarterback Bryce Underwood with Tommy Carr.
