Odds on Where Jim Harbaugh Will Be Next Season

The head ball coach in Michigan has had quite the impressive ride. Since taking the job as head coach at his alma mater in 2025, Harbaugh has had a winning record every year except for one which was 2020 when the covid-shortened season saw the Wolverines go just 2-4.

Harbaugh has had double-digit wins totals in 6 of his 9 seasons there. On Monday, his Wolverines will play for the national championship for the first time in 25 years. So, will Jim Harbaugh stick around? Or will he bolt for the NFL?

We think that the answer to this question depends on what happens Monday. If Michigan wins, then we can see Jim leaving on top and going for even bigger money in the NFL. If they lose, you can see him trying for one more shot at the title. He has many of his star players set to return.

Another reason we think he will bolt is that there is an ongoing investigation being conducted by the NCAA about some inappropriate activity within the program. Basically, an overzealous assistant coach went to opponent’s games with the intention of stealing play calling signs instead of using readily available video like every other team in the NCAA does. It isn’t exactly a “death penalty” case but Michigan will lose some scholarships for it.

Harbaugh was suspended from coaching four games this year as the Big Ten investigated. Strange that they suspend him before they even ruled if he were guilty of anything. There is a strained relationship between Harbaugh and the Big Ten. You can see a guy wanting to get out of there instead of dealing with Big Ten drama. Think ‘Pete Carroll leaving USC’ and you get the idea. Although, Pete Carroll’s allegations were more severe.
