Michigan has promoted Kirk Campbell to offensive coordinator and Grant Newsome to offensive line coach on a new staff headed by Sherrone Moore following Jim Harbaugh’s departure. Campbell had worked as quarterbacks coach and Newsome had coached tight ends during Michigan’s 2023 national championship season.
This qualifies as expected news: Michigan is expected to name Kirk Campbell as its new offensive coordinator, sources tell @247sports. Campbell was Michigan’s QB coach in 2023 and helped JJ McCarthy emerge as a potential first-round pick. Was also interim OC for the team’s win over ECU.https://t.co/dJORJ80Uo5 pic.twitter.com/bnWWEChmBj Matt Zenitz (@mzenitz) February 2, 2024 My reaction to this is ¯\ (ツ) /¯. Campbell's quick ascent from analyst to QB coach to OC is either a sign he's really that dude or sort of a mediocre default hire, and nobody knows which one it is. Two weeks ago people were muttering about Zachary Orr maybe not having enough experience to be the DC at Michigan and now he's the Ravens' DC. Meanwhile it's difficult to evaluate his impact in a single year as a QB coach. Yes, JJ McCarthy was pretty good. He was going to be pretty good no matter who Michigan had at QB coach.
