Michigan Wolverines head coach and 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship winner Jim Harbaugh plans to meet with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.
Speculation about Harbaugh’s departure has been present for a few years. It became so prominent that the Michigan Wolverines added a “no-shop” clause to Harbaugh’s contract extension.
The extension would have been a 10-year deal worth $125 million, according to Rapaport. Harbaugh never accepted the extension due to the fact that the clause would not allow him to talk with NFL teams while being the head coach at Michigan.
His decision to meet with the Chargers may come as a surprise to some, as Harbaugh mentioned spring practice after the title game victory. In an article from Sports Keeda, Harbaugh mentions moving spring practice dates around.
“We’re moving spring practice back,” Harbaugh said. “We usually start on Valentine’s Day, February 14, because we love football. But this year we’re going to move it back, we’re going to move it back about a month. It will be good too, we have some nice weather in the spring in Ann Arbor.”
