Gone. Get him out of here. Jason Beck? Gone. Fire him. Get him out of here… They don’t belong here. They don’t fit in here… He’s the most lifeless old man… I’ve tried to hold it in… The game has passed him by… I’m watching this team and I just want to puke. It’s just disgusting. They’re so bad. I really don’t blame the players.”In a later post, when asked whether players like Bryce Underwood or Tommy Carr were responsible for the loss, Portnoy doubled down on his stance: “100% not on Carr. It wasn’t on Underwood either. It’s on that nitwit Jason Beck.”The Wolverines are now 5-4 for the season, and 2-4 against fellow Big 10 teams, which is far from an ideal record for a team of Michigan’s stature.Carr had two interceptions during the game, while Underwood didn’t get a chance to play at all, which raised questions about why the veteran QB wasn’t given a chance to turn their fortunes around.But there have to be questions asked as to why Whittingham didn’t do anything to put a stop to the Spartans’ dominant rushing game, allowing them to dominate their rivals.Whittingham’s job security is certainly at risk, as he could be let go by the Wolverines following a disastrous start to the season.Read more:‘Michigan fans hit out at Biff Poggi over ‘worst’ admission after embarrassing loss vs. IndianaDave Portnoy believes Bryce Underwood deserves ‘respect’ after celebrating with backup QB despite being replaced by himWhy WWE legend Ric Flair’s allegiance to LSU has Mark Henry ‘confused’
