Head coach Jim Harbaugh of the Michigan Wolverines, who are two victories away from a national championship, is currently getting ready for his team’s College Football Playoff Semifinal battle against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Despite the fact that the Wolverines are about to make history, there’s still a potential that Harbaugh will play one more season in Ann Arbor.
At Michigan, Harbaugh, who turns 60 on December 23, has outperformed expectations. After taking over as Michigan’s coach in 2015, he has won three straight Big Ten titles and elevated the team to the status of a consistent playoff contender. Above all, the Wolverines have triumphed over Ohio State for three straight seasons.
Many in the football community, though, think Harbaugh still has unresolved business in the NFL. In the previous two offseasons, he has already considered offers to return to Michigan as head coach; nevertheless, he has always chosen to sign contract extensions with the university. But with the Wolverines in the CFP, there might now be a chance for Harbaugh to depart on his own terms.
Bruce Feldman of The Athletic stated during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show that he thinks Harbaugh will undoubtedly leave Michigan to take a head coaching position in the NFL if the Wolverines win a national championship.
