Jim Harbaugh is heading back to the NFL as the new head coach of the Chargers after leading Michigan to a national championship this season. He signed a five-year deal on Wednesday after being considered one of the most desirable candidates in this year’s coaching carousel. Harbaugh went 86-25 at Michigan, winning three Big Ten championships along with the program’s first national title since 1997. The Wolverines will now turn their attention to hiring a new head coach to replace Harbaugh.
According to our insiders, offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore is a heavy favorite to get the job. Moore was the acting head coach for four games during the 2023 season while Harbaugh served two suspensions.
