Michigan football WR JJ Buchanan reacts to Jason Beck firing
There were high expectations for not only Kyle Whittingham making the move from Utah to Michigan football, but also for his offensive coordinator of choice, Jason Beck.
Key points
- The one player who followed Beck from Salt Lake City to the Wolverines was wide receiver JJ Buchanan.
- "Coach Beck was a great mentor, great person, great family," Buchanan said.
- 4 offense in the country two years running, but he floundered mightily in Ann Arbor, so much so that he was fired after the 15-6 loss to Michigan State.
And I'm gonna do everything I can to have it start with me and execute at a higher level these last three weeks." Buchanan says he has spoken to Beck, but his focus is more on where this team is going at the moment and executing better.
Additional details
- Buchanan says that everyone is regrouping, especially given that there are three games remaining and with a road trip to Oregon coming up this Saturday.
- Go 1-0 this week and see where things go from there." Buchanan himself has seen a great increase in his production from last year to this year.
- "I think execution overall, it starts with me being one of the leaders on this team," Buchanan said.
- And, of course, it's a difficult moment for him to see the OC he played for as a freshman and now most of his sophomore year gone from the program.
- He finished his freshman campaign with 26 catches for 427 yards, but this year, he has 40 catches for 646 yards.
