Kyle Whittingham Names 'Deciding Factor' That Made Him Fire Jason Beck
Michigan made the move to fire Jason Beck on Sunday afternoon. Beck, who came to Michigan after a successful year at Utah in 2025, was the highest-paid offensive coordinator in the country. He had three total seasons as a coordinator, but Kyle Whittingham had enough belief in Beck to pay him as if he were the best.
Turns out, Beck's nine-game tenure in Ann Arbor was a mess. Michigan has the 132nd-ranked offense in the country, and the Wolverines' run game has been putrid. But despite losing 15-6 against Michigan State, on Saturday night, Whittingham said he wasn't going to make a move regarding Beck — he would evaluate after the season.
