Chip Lindsey’s stay at Michigan football lasted one year.

Michigan, already in the market for a new coach, is now adding offensive coordinator to that list. Lindsey, the Wolverines‘ offensive play-caller in 2025, has reportedly accepted the OC job with Missouri under coach Eli Drinkwitz, who just got a contract extension.

Lindsey’s status for coaching in Michigan’s bowl game against Texas “remains in flux,” ESPN’s Pete Thamel wrote on X.

Michigan will now be on its fifth offensive coordinator in five years − following Matt Weiss in 2022 (fired), Sherrone Moore in 2023 (promoted to coach), Kirk Campbell in 2024 (fired) and Lindsey, who is headed to Columbia, Missouri.

Lindsey, 51, was hired by the Wolverines in December 2024 after two seasons as OC at North Carolina.

Michigan coach Sherrone Moore was fired Dec. 10 for an inappropriate relationship and jailed for breaking into his ex-assistant’s house.

Michigan is conducting a coaching search, and has seen a few potential top candidates remain elsewhere. Names for next Michigan coach thrown in the mix have included Louisville’s Jeff Brohm and former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham.
