Michigan Wolverines’ Rumored $125 Million Gamble on Jim Harbaugh Holds One Single Guarantee for Their Future

Jim Harbaugh might have to wait a bit longer for his NFL propositions. Not only have the HC’s NFL plans met a sudden jolt, but also been given a lucrative offer. There were several reports highlighting that the head coach might leave the NCAA college division post the playoffs. Now, there comes an offer that can make Michigan’s HC the highest-paid coach.

As per reports, the 56-year-old who got the Wolverines into the playoffs for a third consecutive time is getting a skyrocketing offer! It’s part of a 10-year deal, all done in a bid to ensure that Jim stays in Ann Arbor. But, will the HC accept the offer or will he be still on his merry way to the NFL? It needs to be found out!

Will the $125 million offer for Harbaugh to stay at Ann Arbor?

Yes, the big news coming out from the center is that a proposed offer of 10 years worth $125 million is given to Jim. This brings the annual income to $12.5 million yearly, which is worth its weight in gold! This will not only make him one of the affluent HCs but also bring stability to the Michigan side. The strategic move is made to prevent the Michigan HC from going to the NFL. A further explanation was provided by NFL’s Network Ian Rapoport, “Sources say, Harbaugh, whose current deal runs through 2026, received an offer from Michigan for a 10-year, $125-million contract extension that would make him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football. Yet there is a caveat, and it’s NFL-related.”

During the mid-season, with the sign-stealing accusation taking center stage, the HC was handed a three-match suspension. Though the team performed well in his absence, there were strong claims that the HC might call it curtains with his NCAA career. Several NFL teams were in contention to sign up the veteran as their new coach. So will Harbaugh’s U-M U-turn take place or is a deal too late for the HC?

Will Harbaugh take the prestigious offer or move ahead with the NFL goals?

Jimmy Harbaugh is at an interesting juncture in his life currently. Weeks ago, it was reported that unless made official, post the playoffs, he would move to the NFL. Now, with the gargantuan $125 million offer coming into play, there might be a rethinking to the NFL decision. However, there lies a monetary aspect in the scheme of things.
