As the Michigan football team prepares for a new era under Sharon Moore, the offensive game plan is undergoing significant changes. While Moore’s style shares similarities with what Jim Harbaugh has implemented in the past, Kirk Campbell’s promotion to offensive coordinator could bring some upgrades to the pro-spread system.
Campbell, who previously served as quarterbacks coach, showed an improved passing game in Week 1 of the 2023 season and is now focused on using speed, explosiveness and talent throughout the offense. He emphasizes the importance of getting the ball into the hands of explosive players and allowing them to show their skills on the field. Campbell’s philosophy revolves around maximizing the skills and potential of all players, not just those at skill positions.
The quarterback competition is a key storyline for Michigan this offseason, with multiple contenders vying for the starting position. While Alex Orji is considered favorite but Campbell is open to using different quarterbacks based on their skills and abilities. He looks forward to seeing which player emerges as the best fit for the starting role.
With August 31st set as start date for season opener before facing Texas on September 7th, Michigan needs to solidify its offensive game plan and make decisions at quarterback position before stepping into a new era under Sharon Moore.
