Michigan should feel goodIt wasn’t pretty, but Michigan did just enough to win a game few people thought it would win. This is the kind of result that can make a big difference in who plays for the Big Ten championship. Somehow, thanks to Mullings, Michigan found a way.

All those late coaching moves added some intrigue to the first Wednesday of February, a day that once highlighted the recruiting calendar but has been anti-climactic ever since the 2017 launch of a December signing period. New coaches had to re-recruit prospects who had signed to play for a different staff and now were free to look elsewhere. So did Brent Brennan, who left San Jose State to take over for Fisch at Arizona. Washington refortified its class by adding about several players who originally had signed to play for Fisch at Arizona. Alabama also lost cornerback Jameer Grimsley, who signed with the Tide in December but will now play at Florida instead.

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.

The Wolverines might very well have their man already on campus in offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore. Political Cartoons View All 253 ImagesWith Harbaugh serving two separate suspensions this past season for potential NCAA rules violations, Michigan went 4-0 with Moore leading the team on game days. Moore was in charge when Michigan won at Penn State and against Ohio State to win the Big Ten East. Jedd Fisch, who went from Arizona to Washington to replace DeBoer, might have been an interesting candidate for Michigan, too. “So Sherrone Moore, shining star,” Harbaugh said.

He will be the first former Chargers player to return to the team as head coach. The Chargers are the fourth of eight teams to fill their head coach job, following New England, Las Vegas and Tennessee. Manuel may promote Sherrone Moore to replace Harbaugh after the offensive coordinator filled in for him during the final three games of the regular season. Herbert will be playing for his fourth head coach and possibly fourth offensive coordinator in five seasons. Harbaugh became a first-time head coach at the University of San Diego in 2004 and left after three seasons to start a four-year run at Stanford.

FanDuel Sportsbook on Sunday listed Iowa as a 22 1/2-point underdog for Saturday night's game in Indianapolis. “Yeah, we’ve been here before,” coach Kirk Ferentz said Sunday. Iowa began the season with a number of players suspended and facing legal action for underage sports wagering. Offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, son of Kirk Ferentz, was told by the athletic administration a month ago that he would not return next season. “Rings from my ears, Bo Schembechler — the team, the team, the team,” Harbaugh said.

The back door to the College Football playoff is unlikely to be open for Ohio State or anybody else this championship weekend. And the Crimson Tide stayed in CFP contention as they prepare for the Southeastern Conference championship game against No. 20 Iowa in the Big Ten championship game away from a third straight playoff appearance. In the final season before playoff expansion to 12 teams, cutting the field to four might be tricky. ... Don't be surprised if most teams with openings are not willing to wait another week for coaches involved in conference championship games.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.

After Harbaugh served his first suspension, the Wolverines were routing overmatched opponents while facing potentially tougher obstacles off the field.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.

A day before facing the Terrapins, linebackers coach Chris Partridge was fired in the latest wave of turmoil at Michigan. Harbaugh called the Wolverines “America’s team” for continuing to win under the cloud of the scandal.

The emotional aftermath of Michigan’s key win over Penn State on Saturday turned into a celebration of the one person notably absent: Jim Harbaugh, the Wolverines’ coach who had been suspended by the Big Ten over alleged sign-stealing. Offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore, who filled in as acting head coach, gave a profanity-laced postgame interview thanking both God and his suspended boss. A player held up a white board with “FREE JIM” scrawled on it. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy pointed at a television camera and proclaimed: “Love you, coach.”

CNN —University of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended for the three remaining games of the 2023 regular season after the Big Ten Conference announced on Friday the Wolverines football program was found to have conducted “an impermissible, in-person scouting operation over multiple years,” thus violating the Big Ten sportsmanship policy. “I want to thank coach Harbaugh,” Moore told the Fox broadcast with tears streaming down his face.
