Hardballs use the same formula at Michigan that he used at Stanford.  Strength & Conditioning Coach was the foundation.

And just like when he was here, it looks like now that he has reached the level of success he thought was possible at Michigan he'll go back to the NFL.

When he was at Stanford it was clear to many in football that he was at Stanford to build that resume to then move up ASAP!

Who had it better than us (Harbaugh) back in 2010?  Nobody!!!
Well, accept those head coaches in the NFL.  ;)

When he announced that Stanford players were "Champions" after winning the Orange Bowl it was depressingly clear he would leave soon.

Now in 2024 at Michigan he will forever be known as the Michigan Man that got the University of Michigan an undisputed national title, at least until they have to vacate the thing.  Even if they ultimately vacate the title he will be a legend in Ann Arbor and around the Michigan for giving them all the fond memories of January 8 2024.

And yet, while the family cheer is, "Who has it better than us (a.k.a. me)?....Nobody!"   The real answer is....his brother.

So look for Jim to take another shot at becoming a Super Bowl champ since dealing with unrealistic NIL dreams, and constant transfer portal threats is probably not much better than dealing with pros, and their agents, in the NFL.

The rumor mill seems set for a few NFL destinations with better weather and good QBs, so I guess we will see soon enough.

Those that yearn for the EUTM era and actually believe Harbaugh would have ever stayed beyond 2011 or 2012 are nuts.    Thankful we got the EUTM boost, but also thankful we got multiple conference titles and Rose Bowl wins with someone that was a bit more loyal to The Farm.

If you stay too long you will inevitably see the downside slope too even is happening to the true football GOAT..Belichick. 

I bet Harbaugh doesn't risk that and opts to jump while right at the peak.
