Michigan fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck on Sunday. Coach Kyle Whittingham named offensive line coach Jim Harding interim coordinator for the rest of the regular season.

“The results have not matched our desired outcome, and I felt that a change in leadership was required for our offense,” Whittingham said in the school’s announcement.

Whittingham said Michigan would conduct a national search for a permanent coordinator. Harding takes over an offense led by quarterback Bryce Underwood.
