Sources Say Michigan Could Seek New Coach After Whittingham's First Season

Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham’s job is reportedly at risk after a 4-3 start and three losses in the team’s last four games, though a potential change remains uncertain. CBS Sports reported that multiple industry sources believe Michigan could return to the coaching market after one season, while noting the university is expected to address its athletic director search first. The team’s struggling offense—under highly paid coordinator Jason Beck—is a central source of criticism, and Whittingham has continued to express confidence in Beck rather than make a change. Commentary from Michigan-focused outlets also points to growing frustration with Whittingham’s decisions and public responses, as the Wolverines face a difficult remaining schedule that could leave them with a losing record.
