Harbaugh's contract with the University of Michigan was set to expire at the end of the 2021 season. However, reports of a rescinded contract extension have raised questions about his future with the team. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, reported that the contract extension was inaccurate, but did not provide further details. Athlon Sports, meanwhile, listed potential replacements for Harbaugh, including Matt Campbell, Luke Fickell, and Bob Stoops, among others.

Sportico's analysis focused on the potential legal implications if Harbaugh were to move to the NFL. The article discussed the possibility of an antitrust lawsuit if the NFL were to suspend Harbaugh for leaving the University of Michigan before his contract expired. The article noted that such a lawsuit could potentially challenge the NFL's suspension policy, which has been criticized for being overly punitive and arbitrary.
