Jim Harbaugh is the most likely candidate to land the Chargers’ head coaching job, worth a whopping $90 million, per David Shaw. However, the franchise interviewing Raheem Morris instead of striking an offer towards the Michigan head coach enraged the crowd. On the other hand, the Atlanta Falcons are also hot on their heels after their interview with Harbaugh.
The tug-of-war between the Chargers and the Falcons is getting as anticipatory as it can get! Jim Harbaugh, too, isn’t holding back from expressing his eagerness, by negotiating with Michigan to maintain a low buyout clause. Harbaugh’s unfinished business back from his 49ers head coach days awaits him in the pro league. Yet, the audience of college football expects more from the Michigan head coach after his fresh National Championship win with Michigan.

NCAA fans not happy with Jim Harbaugh’s switch
The internet stands divided over Jim Harbaugh’s switch to the NFL. Some can’t wait for Harbaugh to take over the Chargers’ job, while others can’t bear him leaving Michigan. And the former Cowboys QB had to be put on the spot, bearing the fans’ wrath. Troy Aikman was excited to witness the magic Harbaugh can unfold in the NFL with his switch. “I hope to see him in the NFL next year,” commented he.

However, fans lost their cool over his comment. “Shut up, Troy! Michigan boasted of an exceptional roster and an even better head coach. However, Harbaugh has supposedly made his mind up about his switch, given him not accepting the $125 million offer Michigan is ready to make.

They made it pretty clear, some directly, some sarcastically, of their desire to see more Harbaugh in college football, mostly with Michigan.
He can see him. At his brothers games. Just like this.

However, the repercussions would be too intense for Harbaugh to deal with following the incomplete investigation and results of the sign-stealing scandal. Yet, in comparison to the thrill Michigan experienced after 1997 cannot be compared to anything for fans. Hence, the thrashing of Aikman continued.
I promise you, I said much more terrible things when Troy said that. Count your days @TroyAikman

Other fans aimed at Troy Aikman rather brutally.
