Jim Harbaugh has informed Michigan he will remain at Michigan for the 2022 season despite interviewing for the Minnesota Vikings.

Harbaugh told athletic director Warde Manuel that this would not be a recurring issue and that he would be staying at Michigan as long as the school wants him.

Kevin O'Connell, offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams, has emerged as the favorite for the job.

Harbaugh did not receive an offer from the Vikings before he left. Harbaugh had been planning for his interview with Minnesota as if he was going to be hired by the Vikings and prepared his exit from the Wolverines' football program by speaking with recruits about the possibility of his return to the NFL. 

"He operated under the assumption that the job was his and prepared for the interview as such," wrote Courtney Cronin on Twitter.
