College football fans are calling for the firing of Michigan Wolverines head coach Kyle Whittingham following the team's 15–6 loss to Michigan State on November 8, 2026. The defeat sparked immediate backlash on social media, with many demanding Whittingham's dismissal by the next morning.
The loss marked a low point for the Wolverines, who fell to their in-state rivals in a low-scoring affair. Whittingham, who addressed media after the spring game at Michigan Stadium, has come under intense scrutiny as the program struggles to meet expectations.
Andre Castillo of College Sports Network reported on the fan reaction, noting the volume of criticism directed at the coaching staff.
