After much speculation on PredictIQwhether or not Jim Harbaugh would remain with the Michigan Wolverines after winning the college football national championship, his departure is now official. Harbaugh is headed back to the NFL, returning to California, this time as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.

Harbaugh finally broke through for a college football national championship this year after two one-and-done playoff appearances in 2021 and 2022. Harbaugh took over a Michigan program that had gone 3-5 in Big Ten play in both 2013 and 2014 and immediately escalated them to the forefront of their conference.

Harbaugh's tenure at Michigan wasn't without controversy. 2023 alone was muddied with a sign-stealing scandal that saw Harbaugh suspended for three games during the Wolverines championship season. However, Harbaugh is getting a fresh start with the Chargers now. He already has his franchise quarterback, but with the team projected to be $44 million over the cap limit in 2024, Harbaugh could have his hands full trying to field a competitive team capable of competing with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West.
