Could Jim Harbaugh be off to southern California after leading Michigan to a National Championship?
The University of Michigan may be Jim Harbaugh’s alma mater, but before he returned to Ann Arbor in 2015 to coach the Wolverines, Harbaugh had previously done all of his coaching on the west coast. Now, less than a week after leading the Michigan Wolverines to their first National Championship since 1997, Jim Harbaugh now seems to have his sights set on an NFL return… and potentially a return to California.
“Sources say it’s believed the Chargers will speak next week with Harbaugh, who has indicated to associates there’s a real possibility he could leave the University of Michigan to become Los Angeles’ head coach,” according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Jim Harbaugh got his first head coaching opportunity at the University of San Diego, where he led the Toreros to back-t0-back Pioneer Football League titles in 2005 and 2006. From there, Harbaugh travelled north up to Stanford, where in 2010 he led the Cardinal to their first season with at least ten wins since 1992, complete with an Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech. Then Harbaugh was off to the NFL, where he led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance in his second season. In four years as the 49ers head coach, his record was 44-19-1.
