What Jim Harding brings as Michigan’s interim OC following Jason Beck’s firing.

Here's a look at Harding’s coaching background and play-calling... But how much experience does Harding actually have running an offense?

Harding will take over as interim offensive coordinator while Whittingham conducts a national search for a permanent replacement. "The results have not matched our desired outcome, and I felt that a change in leadership was required for our offense," Whittingham said in a statement.

"We need to put our offensive players and the entire team in the best possible position to be successful." The decision comes after another disastrous offensive performance in which Michigan managed just 192 total yards against the Spartans, committed four turnovers and failed to score until the final two minutes of regulation.

Unfortunately, Saturday's performance was hardly an isolated incident. Through nine games, the Wolverines rank 132nd nationally in total offense, 126th in scoring offense and 125th in passing offense.
