Whittingham says he's not worried about noise, only the task at hand at Michigan

ANN ARBOR – Maybe he’s heard the noise, maybe hasn’t. That's inconsequential to Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham, whose offense his first season at Michigan is in such shambles, he fired offensive coordinator Jason Beck on Sunday, Nov. 8. The Wolverines (5-4, 2-4) are coming off an ugly 15-6 loss to a Michigan State team badly riddled by injuries and winless in the Big Ten. After the Wolverines’ poor performance that included four turnovers, Beck was cut loose. Michigan now faces missing a bowl if the Wolverines don’t find a way to win one of their final three tough games, which starts at Oregon on Saturday, then unbeaten UCLA in the final-regular season game at Michigan Stadium and then at Ohio State. Whittingham, 66, was hired as Michigan head coach last December after being nudged out at Utah following 21 seasons in that role. Since the start of the season when the Wolverines were outplayed and outcoached by Western Michigan while still managing to win on a Hail Mary after a second was added, the offense has barely been able to get off the ground, special teams have been mediocre, and only the defense, now ranked No. 4 nationally, has

Oregon availability report: Jordon Davison ruled out vs. Michigan

Another week, another season-ending injury for an Oregon Ducks star.

“Solar System Would Be Better Off”: Analyst Calls On Michigan to ‘Eradicate Mr. Brightside Sing-Alongs’ From Pregame Ritual

Some schools have football traditions that are loved, while some have traditions that just annoy others. For the Michigan Wolverines, their tradition of singing along to The Killers’ 2003 hit “Mr. Brightside” at Michigan Stadium has divided fans of other teams, as some aren’t fond of Wolverines fans singing the song. The Athletic’s David Ubben has admitted that he is not a big fan of the Michigan tradition, and he found someone who agrees. ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum posted a clip of Ubben saying on “The Paul Finebaum Show” that the tradition must be stopped. “Some of the new traditions that the sport has embraced over the last decade, some are better than others,” Ubben said. “I feel like if we can eradicate Mr. Brightside sing-alongs from the face of the Earth, the sport, and really, society and the world and maybe the solar system would be better off without that.” “Noted,” replied Finebaum. “…if we can eradicate Mr. Brightside Sing-Alongs from the face of the Earth…college football, society, and maybe the solar system would be better off.” Noted, @davidubben https://t.co/r0pX2olQPS — Paul Finebaum (@finebaum) November 5, 2026 The tradition has fans singing The Killers’ 2003 hit song during home
