Jim Harbaugh helped Michigan win the Rose Bowl in Pasadena before leading the Wolverines to the national championship. It turns out Harbaugh should’ve also been looking for real estate while in the Southern California area.
Harbaugh has agreed to become the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coach, a person familiar with the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the deal.
The deal officially marks Harbaugh’s much-anticipated return to the NFL.
Harbaugh spent the past nine years with the Wolverines, compiling an 89-25 record in that span. His time at Michigan didn’t come without controversy. Harbaugh was suspended by the school for the first three games of the 2023 season because of a recruiting violation and subsequent failure to cooperate with an NCAA investigation. He was then suspended for the final three Michigan regular-season games by the Big Ten for alleged sign stealing.
Despite the rocky 2023 season, Harbaugh led Michigan to its first national title since 1997.
