The Michigan football team has enjoyed three outstanding seasons in a row. The Wolverines have qualified for the College Football Playoffs, defeated Ohio State, and won the Big Ten this year. This year, Michigan has gone one step further, winning their CFP semifinal for the first time. On Monday night, they will play Washington football in the national championship game. The Wolverines are doing really well right now, but head coach Jim Harbaugh is currently the subject of some uncertainty in Ann Arbor.
There have been speculations about Jim Harbaugh returning to the NFL ever since he took over as head coach of the Michigan football team. Harbaugh nearly left after the 2021 season to take a job with the Minnesota Vikings, but he ultimately returned to Ann Arbor.
Many believe that Harbaugh is tired of college football because of all that has occurred to him and Michigan this season. Due to continuous sign-stealing allegations and recruiting infractions, Harbaugh received a six-game suspension this season. In the NFL, he wouldn’t have to worry about these things. Everyone is wondering if he’s going to move on, and on Saturday, he was questioned once more about his circumstances.
“Yeah, there’s a calendar — I’ll gladly talk about the future next week,” Harbaugh said, according to an article from Blue By Ninety. “And I hope to have one, how about that? A future — I hope to have one.”
Many believe that Sherrone Moore, the current offensive coordinator, will take over as head coach of the Michigan football team if Harbaugh leaves. Ultimately, Moore took over the role of head coach multiple times this season while Harbaugh was out due to suspension, and he helped the Wolverines defeat both #10 Penn State and #2 Ohio State. Harbaugh seems to think he would be a fantastic head coach.
“(Sherrone Moore is) tremendous,” Harbaugh said. “We’ve already seen it, right? You’ve already got a glimpse of the shining star that he is. He’s just phenomenal, so smart, and works so hard at it. Knows what it’s like to be a player. Was a player. And really, really composed. If something goes wrong, three, two, one, let it go. He’s tremendous at that. Never better than he was in that two-minute drive in the Rose Bowl and in overtime. Knew he had to call the game, the drive of his life, and he did. Saw the same thing when he’s coaching against Ohio State in the Big House. The same thing when he went to Penn State. How about that? You gotta go to Penn State, you find out the day before the game, in addition to your offensive line coaching duties, your offensive coordinating play duties, and your play-calling duties, you’re also going to make the head coach decisions as well. So Sherrone Moore (is a) shining star, no doubt about it. It doesn’t even matter what anybody says. It’s what you do. What you do speaks so loudly can’t even hear what you’re saying.”
