ESPN Predicts Future Of Michigan Football Coach Jim Harbaugh

After winning three straight Big Ten titles, appearing in three straight College Football Playoffs, and winning the 2024 National Championship, Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh is about to have a big decision to make regarding the NFL. After interviewing with the Atlanta Falcons and LA Chargers, here is where ESPN thinks Harbaugh will wind up all said and done.

ESPN projects where Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh will land

Could Jim Harbaugh restore the LA Chargers to greatness, just as he did with the San Francisco 49ers a decade ago? Well, ESPN believes that Los Angeles is where the 9th-year Michigan football coach will wind up this offseason.

Of course, Jim Harbaugh is no stranger to playing in LA right now, seeing as he and his Wolverines just downed Alabama in a thrilling Rose Bowl Game, eventually leading to the program’s first national title since 1997. The LA Chargers have a franchise quarterback (Justin Herbert) and plenty of talent, and it appears that they could be the perfect fit for Harbaugh in his pursuit of a Super Bowl ring — that’s what ESPN thinks, at least.

In a new article, ESPN projects that LA will land Harbaugh heading into next season.

Back to the NFL for the LA Chargers job?

During his first stint in the NFL, Jim Harbaugh recorded a 44-19-1 overall record with three NFC Championship Game appearances, a Super Bowl appearance, and more after immediately turning around the 49ers’ struggling franchise. With Michigan football, Harbaugh has an 89-25 record throughout the course of his nine seasons in Ann Arbor, MI, as well as a 40-3 record over the past three seasons.

When Harbaugh first took over the Wolverines, Michigan was without a Big Ten title since 2004 and had just gone 5-7 during the final year of the Brady Hoke era. Regardless of what comes next for Jim Harbaugh, he ultimately did what he set out to do with Michigan football: win a National Championship. If he does decide to leave, he can go on a high note — business is finished.
