Michigan Football Hires New Coach After Jim Harbaugh Leaves for NFL with Los Angeles Chargers

Ann Arbor, Michigan United States of America
Michigan football is in the market for a new coach after Jim Harbaugh decided to leave the program and go back to the NFL with Los Angeles Chargers.
The rival Ohio State Buckeyes have an eight-game winning streak against Michigan until Harbaugh helped them snap it in 2021 and led to their first of three straight Big Ten titles and College Football Playoff appearances. With a strong talent edge over many teams, including those from the SEC, Michigan has produced some of the largest draft classes in recent years.
The Wolverines have also been successful with NIL recruiting competition with Georgia, Alabama and Ohio State.
The Wolverines have been one of college football's most successful programs, winning three Big Ten championships and their first national title since 1997 this past season. However, Michigan has also had a history of losing games in bowl games, including six straight losses before they won the Rose Bowl to win the national championship last year.
