Jim Harbaugh Leaves Michigan To Become Head Coach Of Chargers

Jan 24, 2024 10:55 PM

Jim Harbaugh has agreed to leave Michigan to become head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers on a five-year deal. 

"The only job you start at the top is digging a hole, so we know we've got to earn our way," Harbaugh said in a statement. "... This organization is putting in the work -- investing capital, building infrastructure and doing everything within its power to win. Great effort equals great results, and we're just getting started."

Harbaugh is coming off a national championship at Michigan and also reached the NFC Championship in his first three NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

Harbaugh also played quarterback for the Chargers for two seasons (1999-2000).

"Jim Harbaugh is football personified, and I can think of no one better to lead the Chargers forward," owner Dean Spanos said in a statement. "The son of a coach, brother of a coach and father of a coach who himself was coached by names like Schembechler and Ditka, for the past two decades Jim has led hundreds of men to success everywhere he's been -- as their coach. And today, Jim Harbaugh returns to the Chargers, this time as our coach. Who has it better than us?"

Jim Harbaugh Seeking Immunity Clause In Michigan Contract

Jan 16, 2024 2:20 PM

Jim Harbaugh is interviewing for NFL head coaching jobs during this offseason cycle, but he also remains engaged with Michigan on a new contract.

Discussions include unusual termination clauses where he would be granted immunity from termination from any finding or sanction that could arise from multiple current NCAA investigations.

The buyout in his current contract dropped from $2.25 million to $1.5 million on January 11. Michigan is seeking that to rise to about $4 million in a new deal. 

Harbaugh led Michigan to a 15-0, national championship season just over a week ago. 

Michigan has offered Harbaugh a six-year contract worth $11.5 million per season.

Caleb Williams has let USC to declare for the 2024 NFL draft.

Williams is the overwhelming favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick with the selection currently owned by the Chicago Bears.

Chicago spent a first round pick on Justin Fields in 2021, but his status as their quarterback of the future remains murky.

Williams won the Heisman Trophy in 2022, but had a somewhat disappointing 2023.
