NFL Fans React as Jim Harbaugh, Michigan in Spotlight Over NCAA Investigation Issue

Michigan could rejoice after Jim Harbaugh revealed his loyalty. The head coach will lead the Wolverines and return to Ann Arbor in 2023. However, the NCAA’s dark clouds may descend on them as the football program is embroiled in some allegations. Ahead of the investigations, football and NFL fans are keeping their thoughts about the scenario close at hand.

The Michigan football program had a phenomenal run this year and went 13-1 this season. However, they failed to sweep the Fiesta Bowl against TCU. The Wolverines remain in reliable hands after Jim Harbaugh announced he would be looking forward to staying with them. But the NCAA would look into some investigations for alleged violations.

NCAA’s ready to storm an investigation

As per The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach, the football program is under the NCAA’s investigation and expects to get a Notice of Allegations by the end of the week. The association would probe for possible violations of the program’s COVID-19 recruiting dead period. The reports come after coach Jim Harbaugh’s confirmation that he would stay in Michigan for 2023.

The NFL fans could not stop but react to the reports.

Harbaugh may have showcased his allegiance. But there might be teams who could take some help from the coach.

Which NFL teams could Jim Harbaugh save?

Jim Harbaugh returning to the NFL is a long-time affair, and the reports often have a ‘run it back-type’ thing in the past few years. This year, the coach has had talks with Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper regarding the vacant position of head coach. But there are a few more teams who may need the rescue.  

Apart from the Panthers, the Denver Broncos could also pursue Harbaugh’s help in the head coaching position. The franchise had one of its most underwhelming seasons with Russell Wilson at the helm. Additionally, the Indianapolis Colts could be next after they fired Frank Reich and named Jeff Saturday as the interim HC. 

It is yet to see how the Harbaugh situation plays out.
