Jim Harbaugh, famed for revitalizing Michigan Wolverines football, is leaving to become the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. His tenure at Michigan, which began in 2015, saw him secure a national championship this past season—Michigan's first since 1997—along with three Big Ten titles. Athletic Director Warde Manual and President Santa Ono have expressed gratitude for Harbaugh's significant contributions, outlining his achievements both on and off the field, including mentorship and developing young men. Despite efforts to retain him with lucrative offers, Harbaugh chose to pursue his NFL ambitions. His decision to depart has been met with understanding and appreciation for his transparency and leadership qualities. The university's top leaders are committed to maintaining the excellent standards Harbaugh set and are swiftly moving to find his successor.
