Will Jim Harbaugh return to the NFL?
Despite recent speculation linking him to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Michigan head coach has hinted at his expectation to stay with the Wolverines next season. Reports of a personal conversation with ESPN’s Mike Greenberg, where Harbaugh praised Justin Herbert, fueled the speculation. The Chargers, currently in search of a new head coach after firing Brandon Staley, have become a focal point in this discussion.

Additionally, Harbaugh faces potential disciplinary action from the NCAA after serving a three-game suspension from the Big Ten over a sign-stealing scandal. Despite these challenges, Harbaugh has suggested his return, sharing with seniors his hope to see them next year.
While not a definitive statement, it signals his continued involvement in recruiting.
For now, the 59-year-old coach is focused on preparing for Michigan’s Rose Bowl matchup against Alabama in the College Football Playoff.
