Report:Read the plans Michigan wolverines have In place if Jim Harbaugh leaves for NFL in 2024R
The Michigan Wolverines just had an undefeated season that saw them win the national championship. They do, however, rank among the programs with the most unanswered questions as of 2024. Jim Harbaugh, the head coach, has been interviewing with the Los Angeles Chargers and may decide to play in the NFL.According to a recent story, the Wolverines already have a strategy in place in case he takes such action.
Michigan Wolverines Plan If Jim Harbaugh Leaves
Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore is the favorite to land the job if Harbaugh leaves. It isn’t hard to see why. When the head coach was suspended for the last three games of the regular season, Moore stepped in and went 3-0. It was who the opponents were that was so impressive. He went into Happy Valley and beat Penn State and then also beat Ohio State at home. The middle game was against Maryland which could have easily been a letdown game. There likely will be other candidates but Moore would bring continutity to the program.
Getting Paid Regardless
The story also says the university will be paying its coordinators a lot of money even if Harbaugh stays. Moore and Jesse Minter, the defensive coordinator, are both eligible for large contract extensions. With all of the new teams joining, Michigan hopes to maintain its dominance in the Big Ten. Although the team naturally wants Jim Harbaugh to stay, they have a fantastic backup plan in case he does not.
The national title was won by the Michigan Wolverines. For fans, it lessens the significance of what happens next. The fact that their college football team won a championship cheers supporters up no matter what occurs because many programs would kill to get one.
