Jim Harbaugh announces Michigan staffer's promotion to QB coach
Michigan has named a new quarterbacks coach. Jim Harbaugh announced the promotion of Kirk Campbell on Friday.
Campbell was on the Wolverines staff as an analyst in 2022.
“Kirk is a bright, young offensive mind that immediately meshed with our coaching staff last year,” Harbaugh said in a program release. “Our offensive staff was really impressed with his knowledge and expertise of the entire offense, and he was integral to the success of the offense with game planning and opponent scouting. Kirk does an outstanding job developing relationships and I know he will have an outstanding rapport with our quarterbacks. We are excited to have Kirk and his wife, Lauren, as well as their daughter, Riley, continue as members of our Michigan Football family.”
Campbell was Old Dominion’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the 2020 and ’21 seasons before he joined the Michigan staff. Before that, he was a Penn State analyst from 2017-19.
“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Robert McCollum Family Quarterback Coach at the University of Michigan,” Campbell said, via U-M. “I enjoy my relationship with Coach Harbaugh and our staff, and I look forward to working with them as we develop, mentor and coach great players. My family and I love everything about this university and football program, especially the people that I get to work with daily. I look forward to helping Team 144 reach new heights in 2023. Today and every day it’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine. Go Blue!”
U-M terminated Weiss’ employment a week ago for cause due to a police investigation involving computer access crimes on campus.
