The Michigan Wolverines are searching for a new offensive coordinator after parting ways with Kirk Campbell. Potential candidates include Joe Sloan from LSU, known for developing top quarterbacks; Tyson Helton from Western Kentucky, a seasoned quarterback developer; Brennan Marion from UNLV, an innovator with a unique offensive scheme; and Joe Moorhead from Akron, a veteran coordinator with a history of success. Head coach Sherrone Moore has several promising options to consider for this high-profile role.
Michigan is searching for a new offensive coordinator after parting ways with Kirk Campbell. The candidates fall into three categories: those with head coach experience, established coordinators, and up-and-coming playcallers. Notable names include Jason Candle from Toledo, Dan Mullen, and Kevin Wilson, as well as coordinators like Mike Denbrock from Notre Dame and Joey Halzle from Tennessee. The decision will impact Michigan's offensive strategy and recruiting efforts.
The college football coaching carousel has seen 29 coaching changes in the last six months, with 85 changes in the last three offseasons. The recent hires include eight new coaches who have never run a program, facing increased pressure and expectations. Brent Brennan received an 'A' grade for his hire, while Sherrone Moore faces high standards as one of the new coaches. The carousel has been anything but quiet, with unexpected moves such as Nick Saban's retirement and Jim Harbaugh's move to the NFL.
Michigan assistant coach Sherrone Moore is facing backlash for his response to a question about black quarterback stereotypes, in which he stated, "I don't see color," and referenced his own interracial family and experiences in different states. His comments came after Alabama QB Jalen Milroe shared that former Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien had told him he shouldn't play quarterback. Moore's remarks have sparked criticism on social media for not directly addressing the issue of racial stereotyping in sports.
