In an attempt to make Jim Harbaugh remain at the University of Michigan, the institution had made a proposal to the coach with a six-year contract worth approximately US$11.5 million and, close to the deadline for the definition, they further increased the numbers. However, it wasn’t enough for him to stay on the team.
Previously, the University of Michigan shone on the field and secured first place in the College Football Playoff championship in a match against Washington. The achievement made the institution win the national title after 26 years since 1996, its last honor.
Jim Harbaugh’s time at the University of Michigan was somewhat controversial. In recent months, the coach has been involved in processes, investigations and infractions that are prohibited in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), such as being accused of having carried out training and recruitment during the turbulent period of the Covid-19 pandemic.
