The Jim Harbaugh rumors are back for 2023. Sure, he has promised to stay with the Wolverines, but when opportunity knocks, he's probably going to open that door, right?
Multiple reports indicate that Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper, indeed, has talked to the Michigan football head coach about the team's lead coaching position. The Panthers let go of head coach Matt Rhule this season, hanging on to interim coach Steve Wilks. The Panthers are expected to conduct interviews for the full-time position after Sunday's final regular season game.
According to a report from The Athletic, multiple sources say that Harbaugh is expected to leave Michigan if an NFL team offers him a head coach job. His contract buyout is $3 million this year until Jan. 11, and then it goes down to just $750,000.
The report states that Harbaugh was also reportedly contacted by the Denver Broncos on Sunday, one day after the Wolverines lost in the Fiesta Bowl to TCU. The Broncos are also looking for a new head coach.
