When Jim Harbaugh took a pay cut from Michigan after the 2020 season, getting another chance to be an NFL head coach seemed like a long shot for him.
If Nick Saban had retired after the 2022 season it’s doubtful Kalen DeBoer would have been his replacement at Alabama.
He leaves Michigan after three straight seasons of beating Ohio State, winning the Big Ten and reaching the playoff.
Harbaugh has been a head coach in college and the NFL for 20 years, including a three-year stint with FCS San Diego before landing the Stanford job in 2007.
“I knew this was a thing that, not that I had to do, but that I really wanted to do.
