Kyle Whittingham addresses Jason Beck's future after Michigan loss

After a 15-6 loss to Michigan State, Michigan offensive coordinator Jason Beck has been under scrutiny since the start of the season. The Wolverines' offense struggled, finishing with only 192 yards and being 2-for-10 on third downs. The team only managed 54 total rushing yards and scored just one touchdown late in the fourth quarter, with less than two minutes left on the clock.

Despite this poor performance, Whittingham has no immediate plans to replace Beck. He stated that they would reevaluate his position after the season, emphasizing that the team needs results to make a decision. The final three games of the season are expected to be particularly challenging, with tough matchups against UCLA, Ohio State, and Oregon, all with strong defenses.

Beck is reportedly the highest-paid offensive coordinator in college football, with a $9 million buyout. In the past, when Beck made adjustments by inserting freshman Tommy Carr into the game, the offense improved significantly. However, when Carr struggled this time, the staff opted not to revert to Underwood, who had not played in the game.

Whittingham acknowledged that they should have given Underwood more opportunities, but ultimately decided to stick with Carr. He expressed regret over the decision but reiterated that they have three games left to salvage the season. Whittingham emphasized the team's pride and determination, stating that they must find a way to turn things around.
