Melanie Maxwell / USA TODAY NETWORKMichigan head coach Jim Harbaugh looks on during second half of the College Football Playoff national championship game against Washington at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on Monday, Jan. 8, 2024.

Jim Harbaugh achieved his primary objective with the Michigan Wolverines by securing a national championship. However, he has now set his sights on a return to the NFL, where he will take up the role of head coach for the Los Angeles Chargers.

This departure leaves Michigan in the position of needing to find a suitable replacement.

Despite his departure, Harbaugh has not left the Wolverines without a suggestion for his successor. In fact, he has a specific individual in mind who he believes should take over the reins as the head coach of the Wolverines.

“I’ll always be a loyal Wolverine. But not a better man to coach the team than Sherrone Moore. He has my vote, my support wholeheartedly. I feel like it’s in great hands.”

Interestingly, the leadership at the University of Michigan appears to share Harbaugh’s sentiments, considering this individual as the prime candidate for the vacant coaching position.

While Michigan is expected to evaluate all available options, it becomes clear that this candidate, given their deep familiarity with the program, stands as a strong contender for the role.

This individual, during Harbaugh’s absence due to two separate suspensions in the previous season, served as the acting head coach. Impressively, they managed to uphold Michigan’s unblemished record with significant victories over formidable teams like Penn State and Ohio State. Notably, Harbaugh concluded his tenure with three postseason victories, further enhancing the candidate’s credentials.

Looking ahead, the prospective head coach, whether it is this candidate or another, will likely face challenges stemming from the ongoing NCAA investigations into the program. Some speculations have arisen, suggesting that Harbaugh’s decision to depart might be linked to anticipated NCAA sanctions. However, as of now, these claims remain unconfirmed.

With the endorsement of Jim Harbaugh, it is reasonable to assume that this particular candidate holds a prominent position as the frontrunner to secure the full-time head coaching role for the Michigan Wolverines.
