How long was Jim Harbaugh at Michigan?

Former Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh isn’t headed to the NFL sometime soon, as he denied the Minnesota Vikings, per recent reports.

Harbaugh was hired at Michigan in 2015 as the savior of the program. While he didn’t necessarily make good on that goal to a tee, Harbaugh was able to get Michigan back to the College Football Playoff, only to lose to Georgia in 2021-22. With Harbaugh staying in college, he’ll have a chance to do so moving forward.

However, compared to where the Wolverines were before his takeover, it’s safe to consider his tenure in Ann Arbor a relative success.
