The Michigan Wolverines are coming off of an undefeated national championship season. However, they are one of the programs with the most questions heading into 2024. Head coach Jim Harbaugh has been interviewing with the Los Angeles Chargers and could leave for the NFL. A recent report indicated that the Wolverines already have a plan in place if he did that.
Michigan Wolverines Plan If Jim Harbaugh Leaves
Michigan Wolverines Roman Wilson calls out the Buckeyes
Michigan receiver Roman Wilson and acting head coach/offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore celebrate Wilson’s touchdown catch against Ohio State during the first half at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, Nov. 25, 2023.
Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore is the favorite to land the job if Harbaugh leaves. It isn’t hard to see why. When the head coach was suspended for the last three games of the regular season, Moore stepped in and went 3-0. It was who the opponents were that was so impressive. He went into Happy Valley and beat Penn State and then also beat Ohio State at home. The middle game was against Maryland which could have easily been a letdown game. There likely will be other candidates but Moore would bring continutity to the program.

The report also indicates that even if Harbaugh stays, the university will be giving its coordinators a large payday. Both Moore and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter are due for lucrative contracts. Michigan is hoping to continue to dominating the Big Ten even with all of the new teams joining. Obviously, the team is hoping that Jim Harbaugh stays but they have a great backup plan in place if he leaves.
The Michigan Wolverines got their national championship. It makes what happens next not as big of a deal for fans. Many college football programs would kill for a championship so they fact that they got one helps fans feel better about whatever happens.
