Michigan has reportedly rescinded a new contract offer to head football coach Jim Harbaugh amid recent allegations of sign-stealing in his program. The deal would have made Harbaugh the highest-paid coach in the Big Ten, according to the Journal report. Harbaugh came into the season fourth in the conference with a salary $8.
Michigan is 8-0 and ranked No. 2 nationally heading into the final month of the regular season, but the program has been rocked the last two weeks by the budding sign-stealing scandal. Connor Stalions, an analyst on the Wolverines’ football staff, was suspended after reports indicated he helped organize a complex operation to steal signals from future Michigan opponents by attending games in-person and video-recording the team’s sideline or sending representatives to do so.
A former Michigan quarterback, the 59-year-old Harbaugh is 81-25 in nine seasons at his alma mater, including Big Ten championships and college football playoff berths the last two years. He served a three-game suspension earlier this season for NCAA violations unrelated to the sign-stealing allegations, and has denied knowledge of rule-breaking by anyone in his program.
Harbaugh coached the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers from 2011-14 — reaching the Super Bowl in his first season — and it’s widely believed he’ll wind up back in the pros at some point. He openly flirted with the Minnesota Vikings head-coaching job after the 2021 season before electing to stay at Michigan.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
