Michigan Wolverines consider Indiana's Mike Shanahan for offensive coordinator position

Summary

The Michigan Wolverines are exploring candidates to fill their offensive coordinator position after firing Jason Beck. Mike Shanahan, currently with Indiana, is viewed as a strong option due to his success in developing the Hoosiers' offense. Under Shanahan, Indiana set school records in 2025, scoring 537 points and averaging 41.3 points per game. Michigan, coming off a disappointing 15-6 loss to Michigan State, seeks a proven play-caller who has Midwest ties. Interim offensive coordinator Jim Harding is currently leading the team as Michigan prepares for a broader search for a new offensive leader.
