After flirting with the NFL during previous offseasons, Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh is officially leaving the Wolverine program for another shot at the NFL, this time with the Los Angeles Chargers.
It’s been an up-and-down narrative for Harbaugh as the quote-unquote savior of the program, with many attempting to run him out of Ann Arbor early on. However, the end was one that — at least “Michigan men” — we’re very approving of, pending NCAA investigations aside.
Michigan sure had it’s issues trying to get over the hump against its archrival, Ohio State, but once the program did get going under Harbaugh, it won three straight and capped it with a College Football Playoff national championship.
We decided to reflect and look at each year Harbaugh went toe-to-toe with the scarlet and gray. Here’s a look at each matchup with his Michigan teams, the results and a short synopsis of it played out.
