The Michigan Wolverines wrapped up their regular season with a 7-5 record, capped by a 13-10 win over No. 2 Ohio State at Ohio Stadium on Saturday. While the victory was a highlight, the team’s overall record was seen as a letdown in Sherrone Moore ‘s first year as head coach. Michigan had won a national championship in 2023 during Jim Harbaugh’s final season as coach. On Tuesday, the school announced that offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kirk Campbell had been let go. Tight ends coach Steve Casula has been promoted to interim offensive coordinator. In a statement, Moore explained, “After a thorough evaluation of our offense, I decided to make a change and move in a different direction. This was a decision I felt was best for the program.” Moore also expressed gratitude toward Campbell, thanking him for his hard work and wishing him well in his future coaching career. Michigan’s offense struggled throughout the season, averaging just 22.3 points per game, ranking 100th out of 134 FBS teams. The Wolverines are now on the hunt for a new offensive coordinator to work with quarter

The Michigan Wolverines finished their regular season with a disappointing 7-5 record, despite a thrilling 13-10 upset victory over No. 2 Ohio State at Ohio Stadium on Saturday. This outcome was particularly disappointing for the program in Sherrone Moore ‘s first year as head coach, as expectations were high following Michigan’s national championship win in 2023 under former coach Jim Harbaugh. While Michigan’s victory over Ohio State was a high point, the team’s overall performance this season fell short of expectations, especially in terms of offensive production.

In a move to address these issues, Michigan announced on Tuesday that it had parted ways with offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kirk Campbell. Tight ends coach Steve Casula has been promoted to interim offensive coordinator. In an official statement, Moore explained his decision: “After a thorough assessment of our offense, I made the decision to relieve Kirk Campbell of his duties and move in a different direction. This was a decision that I felt was in the best interest of our football program.” Moore also expressed appreciation for Campbell’s hard work and dedication to Michigan Football, thanking him for his contributions to the team and wishing him success in his future coaching endeavors.

The decision comes after a season in which Michigan’s offense struggled to put up consistent points. The Wolverines averaged just 22.3 points per game, ranking 100th out of 134 FBS teams. This lackluster offensive performance was a key factor in the team’s inability to achieve greater success in a competitive Big Ten conference. With the Wolverines’ offense underperforming, Michigan is now looking to find a new offensive coordinator who can help revitalize the team’s attack, especially with the promise of top recruit Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 quarterback prospect in the country, set to join the program in 2025.

Seahawks Release Former First-Round Pick N’Keal Harry from Practice Squad Ahead of NFC West Clash

The Seattle Seahawks have released former first-round pick N’Keal Harry from their practice squad as part of a series of roster moves ahead of their crucial NFC West matchup with the Arizona Cardinals on December 8, 2024.

Harry, selected by the New England Patriots with the 32nd overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Arizona State, had transitioned to tight end ahead of the 2024 season. Prior to joining the Seahawks on November 11, Harry spent time on the Minnesota Vikings’ practice squad this year.

The move to release Harry was made to make space for undrafted rookie center Mike Novitsky, who rejoined the Seahawks after a brief stint with the team following the 2024 NFL Draft. Novitsky had been released before the preseason but was signed back after spending several months without a team. Additionally, the Seahawks re-signed defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna to the practice squad, filling the spot left by defensive lineman Myles Adams, who was promoted to the Detroit Lions’ active roster.

The 7-5 Seahawks will square off against the 6-6 Cardinals in a vital NFC West game this Sunday in Arizona.

Harry’s Position Switch and Time with the Vikings

In June, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell revealed that Harry was shifting from wide receiver to tight end. The 26-year-old had spent parts of the 2023 season on the Vikings’ practice squad and showed enthusiasm for the change. “N’Keal is really fired up about it,” O’Connell said. “He has attacked the process… We’re hoping to develop a guy who can be a real third-down weapon, red-zone weapon.”

Despite his excitement and efforts, Harry’s time with the Vikings did not pan out. He played in three preseason games, recording 4 receptions for 60 yards on 7 targets, but failed to make the final 53-man roster. He was subsequently cut from the Vikings’ practice squad on October 21.

Seahawks’ Tight End Depth

With Harry’s release, the Seahawks now have just one tight end on their practice squad, Tyler Mabry, who joined Seattle as an undrafted free agent from Maryland in 2020. Mabry, who has one career NFL catch (a touchdown), has spent time on the Seahawks’ active roster this season. The team currently has four tight ends on the active roster: Noah Fant, AJ Barner, Pharaoh Brown, and Brady Russell.

Harry’s Career Overview

Harry, who turns 27 this month, has struggled to establish himself in the NFL. After three seasons with the Patriots, his best year came in 2020, when he caught 33 passes for 309 yards and 2 touchdowns. In total, Harry has recorded 64 receptions for 714 yards and 5 touchdowns. Following a trade to the Chicago Bears in 2022, Harry played seven games but recorded only 7 catches for 116 yards and 1 touchdown. He did not register any offensive stats in 2023 during his time with the Vikings.

Harry has not caught an NFL pass since 2022 and will now be looking for a new opportunity to continue his professional career.

oaching change signals a critical period for the Michigan football program, as they seek to rebound from a disappointing season and build a more dynamic and efficient offense for the future.
