There has been much controversy this month after Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh agreed to interview with NFL teams for head coaching jobs before reaffirming his commitment to the Wolverines. For his student-athletes though, it was never an issue.
In a recent interview, Michigan running back Donovan Edwards revealed that Harbaugh informed them all after the Fiesta Bowl loss to TCU that he would return for the 2023 season. Edwards said he knew Harbaugh was true to his word and never doubted him.
“He told us before we played TCU that he was coming back. I know he is a man of his word. He’s been true to his word since my hiring,” Edwards said.
Most college football fans are willing to give Harbaugh the benefit of the doubt. But some think that Harbaugh still did the interview in an effort to get more funding from the university:
Jim Harbaugh’s first six seasons at Michigan were solid but underwhelming as the Wolverines failed to reach the Big Ten title game or even beat arch-rival Michigan.
However, they have been a juggernaut since 2021, winning The Game in back-to-back seasons, two Big Ten titles and two trips to the College Football Playoff.
In fact it feels like the Wolverines are getting closer than ever to winning that coveted national title. And Harbaugh wants to be the one to get it for them.
How many more years will Harbaugh last as Michigan’s head coach?
