Jim Harbaugh Set to Take Michigan Mastermind to the NFL if He Accepts Chargers’ $90 Million Contract: Reports

The chemistry between Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers is yet to formulate. However, Harbaugh already possessed one with Michigan. Hence, the question of his leveraging that connection with the players remains a question. Well, the Chargers are yet to strike an offer after an interview with the Michigan head coach. While it has caused a stir among the fans, most are positive about hearing back from the Chargers and expecting a lucrative deal.

Therefore, the hypothetical questions surrounding the 2024 team under Jim Harbaugh are a strong discussion among the fans currently. In this season, Chargers rank the 4th in the AFC West. Looking at their 5-12 record, it is evident that the team needs some modifications. While their roster is lined with players like Easton Sick, Harbaugh is reportedly going to make some recruitments to give the team a makeover.

Jim Harbaugh to take in Michigan players

Here is where the real question pops in: Would Harbaugh leverage the Michigan players, whom he already possesses a deep understanding with, by taking them in Chargers? Leading Michigan players like QB JJ McCarthy and RB Blake Corum are set to hit the NFL Draft 2024. Well, college football head coaches are reputed for taking their players with them.

Josh Pate confirmed the fact on his show ‘Late Kicks with Josh Pate’ saying, “That’s not a Harbaugh thing. Like I said that’s just a college football thing will he take anyone with him if he does take that Chargers job.” Harbaugh’s appreciation for McCarthy is no secret, especially after his mighty praise of him being ‘the best QB in franchise history’.

Hence, teams hiring Jim Harbaugh might expect players like McCarthy and others to line up their roster. With all the talent coming in with Harbaugh, the Chargers might want to lock their deal soon.

Chargers reported $90 million deal with Harbaugh

Following the interest of the Falcons in Harbaugh, the Chargers have reportedly raised the contract price for Harbaugh. James Yoder of Michigan Football Report stated that “The Chargers are preparing a 15 to maybe as high as $18 million per year offer.”

The rumored $18 million per year contract is set to expand over a tenure of five years. Along with this, Harbaugh’s previous relationship with the Chargers also sets the favor a bit more on his end. However, the Chargers’ $90 million deal would still be comparatively less than Michigan’s staggering $125 million contract. Indeed, a tough choice for Harbaugh. What do you think?
