Former Michigan Wolverines football assistant coach Kirk Campbell has found a new job, joining his former head coach Jim Harbaugh as an offensive assistant with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Campbell was Michigan’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach last season and was part of Harbaugh’s staff from 2022-23 prior to that, serving as an offensive analyst in his first year and being elevated to quarterbacks coach in 2023. His tutelage helped J.J. McCarthy to a breakout campaign that culminated in a national championship and an undefeated season. McCarthy would also wind up being the No. 10 overall pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Running the offense proved difficult this year for a number of reasons, namely a major dropoff at quarterback. It wound up being a dud of a season on that side of the ball with the Wolverines finishing 128th out of 133 teams in total offense at 294.2 yards per game, 130th in passing yards (113.6 ypg), 70th in rushing yards (160.7 ypg) and tied for 114th in points per game (22.3).

This led to Campbell’s dismissal in December. A little over a week after the was let go, Michigan hired former North Carolina offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Chip Lindsey into the role.

Michigan quote of the day

“Graham is a powerful defensive tackle with outstanding leverage and instincts. He’s one of the most consistent players in the draft class. Against the run, he has an impressive short-area burst to attack blockers. He excels in block destruction. He stacks, finds the ball, chucks blockers to the side and collects tackles. He has lateral range to make plays down the line, too. He is always in a leverage position and never gets uprooted. In the pass game, he has a violent club/rip move and a powerful bull rush. His effort is outstanding. Overall, it’s easy to identify Graham as a former wrestler. He always has a full gas tank and he set the tone for the entire Michigan defense.”
