Breaking News:The Wolverines just received a very sad report

Michigan has reportedly offered Jim Harbaugh a new contract to keep him as the head coach of the Wolverines. However, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the offer comes with a unique “no NFL” clause.

Harbaugh has been a candidate for NFL jobs in the past several years and is expected to receive significant interest in the upcoming coach-hiring cycle as well. The 60-year-old Harbaugh is coming off a 13-0 season with the Wolverines, who are considered the main favorites to win the National Championship.

In order to prevent Harbaugh from being lured by the NFL teams, Michigan already offered him a 10-year, $125-million extension. If he accepts the new contract, Harbaugh would reportedly also have to agree to reject all proposals from the NFL in the 2024 season.

Rapoport reports that Michigan also proposed a shorter deal that comes with an annual salary of $11 million. However, it is unclear whether the alternative proposal has the same “no NFL” clause.

Jim Harbaugh previously served as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers between 2011 and 2014. During that time, he led the franchise to three consecutive playoff appearances and reached the Super Bowl XLVII. Harbaugh left the 49ers following the 2014 campaign, having compiled a 44-19-1 record in the regular season and a 5-3 record in the playoffs.

Harbaugh was close to returning to the NFL in 2022 when he had interviews with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Minnesota Vikings. Having missed out on both jobs, he decided not to entertain any offers from the NFL in 2023. This time around, he is linked with the Raiders once again while also being rumored as one of the candidates for the LA Chargers’ head coaching vacancy
