Michigan Negotiates $55M Extension with Coach Jim Harbaugh Amid Controversy

Despite facing suspensions and potential NCAA disciplinary action, Harbaugh is offered a five-year contract with a stipulation against pursuing NFL jobs.

Michigan Wolverines are reportedly negotiating a contract extension with head coach Jim Harbaugh, potentially worth over $11 million per year.
Harbaugh, who led the Wolverines to three consecutive Big Ten titles and College Football Playoff berths, was suspended for seven games in the 2023 season due to alleged violations.
Despite the controversy, Michigan has offered Harbaugh a five-year, $55 million extension, with a stipulation that he will not pursue an NFL job after this season.
Harbaugh's future is uncertain as he may face further disciplinary action from the NCAA, and there is speculation about a potential return to the NFL.
Harbaugh's first stint as an NFL head coach with the San Francisco 49ers was highly successful, leading to three NFC Championship Game appearances and one Super Bowl berth.
