It looks like the Chargers’ head coach has found his happy place but what does this infer to his time with the Wolverines? After over 9 glorious seasons and a natty in the 2023 season, he became a historical figure in the sport of football. As such, it only made sense when he announced his decision to transfer to the NFL with the Chargers on a 5-year contract worth over $80 million. Even though he bid an emotional farewell to the team during his announcement, the fans are led to believe that maybe his time in Ann Arbor wasn’t just rainbows and unicorns.

Harbaugh’s recent statement read, “This is the best job I’ve ever had to start out with” While it may not be a direct jab to the management back in Michigan, it does sound like a subtle shot at the men in maize. Harbaugh was the notable pride and glory of the team, which was proven when his departure from it caused structural damage to the staff. Coaches like Ben Herbert, Jesse Minter, and Mike Elston were a few of the others who chose to follow Harbaugh rather than stay back and pursue another win.
