Michigan offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell talks to quarterback Davis Warren (16) at a timeout against Ohio State during the second half at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024.

Michigan dismissed offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kirk Campbell on Monday.

Tight ends coach Steve Casula was named the interim offensive coordinator as Michigan prepares for a bowl game.

Campbell, 38, had been on the Wolverines' staff since 2022, but 2024 was his first year as their offensive coordinator. Michigan ranked 112th in Division I in scoring offense (22.2 points per game) at the end of a 7-5 regular season, one year after winning the national championship.

Michigan ranked No. 128 of 133 teams in total offense (294.2 yards per game) and No. 129 in passing offense (133.6 ypg), better than only Iowa and the three service academies.

"After a thorough assessment of our offense, I made the decision to relieve Kirk Campbell of his duties and move in a different direction," head coach Sherrone Moore said in a statement. "This was a decision that I felt was in the best interest of our football program. I want to thank Kirk for his hard work and dedication to the university, Michigan Football and our student-athletes. I wish him well in his future coaching endeavors."

Prior to Michigan, Campbell worked at Old Dominion as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach (2020-21).
