ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Chip Lindsey, previously an assistant at North Carolina, has officially been appointed as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Michigan Wolverines.

The announcement was made on Friday as part of a strategic move to enhance the team’s underperforming offense. Lindsey’s departure from North Carolina coincides with the team’s ongoing transition in leadership, as six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick is set to assume the role of head coach, likely bringing back several of his former NFL colleagues.

Lindsey’s hiring comes on the heels of a decision by Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore to dismiss offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell, just three days after securing a narrow 13-10 win over Ohio State to conclude the regular season. Campbell had previously served as the quarterbacks coach during Michigan’s national championship-winning season and was involved as an offensive analyst in the 2022 campaign.

Bringing a wealth of experience to Michigan, Lindsey has an impressive 27-year track record in collegiate coaching. During his twelve years of full-time coaching, he has overseen offenses that managed to score at least 30 points per game in nine of those seasons.

In expressing confidence in Lindsey’s capabilities, Moore stated, “After spending a considerable amount of time together, I knew that Chip was the right fit to coordinate our offense. We share the same philosophy regarding structure, scheme, and player development, and I know his leadership of the offense will place our players in the best position to succeed.”

Before his stint at North Carolina, Lindsey served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in 2022. His coaching journey has also taken him through notable programs such as Troy, Auburn, Arizona State, and Southern Mississippi.
