Jim Harbaugh
HC Michigan Wolverines

Jim Harbaugh lives every day like it’s his last, and that’s something that’s made him so popular with the fans in Ann Arbor. He’s not afraid to act a little childish sometimes or ruffle the feathers of his opponents, but the Wolverines love him. In fact, he’s like a hero to the Michigan football program because of the turnaround he has made.

Michigan struggled under Brady Hoke and, before him, Rich Rodriguez. However, Harbaugh, a former Michigan quarterback, took the reigns after leaving the NFL in 2014 and has turned the Wolverines into national contenders.

As long as he can get over that third-place hump in the Big Ten East in one of the next two years, he will be looked at as the main contender with Ohio State in the conference. The biggest knock on him right now is that he grabs all the headlines, but hasn’t won a conference title yet.

Still, it’s been just two years with him in Ann Arbor and he’s already won 20 games.

Harbaugh has one of those out-there personalities that really isn’t matched in the college football landscape and that’d make for some entertaining TV.
