It’s official: Jim Harbaugh is no longer Michigan’s head football coach.
He left for the same job with the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday, leaving his alma mater after winning three straight Big Ten titles and this season’s national championship.
The latest episode of the Wolverine Confidential podcast starts there: Was Harbaugh’s departure a surprise?
Michigan administrators said they did everything they could to retain Harbaugh. Still, some want to blame athletic director Warde Manuel for letting Harbaugh leave. Is that criticism fair?
We also discuss what — or more accurately who — comes next for Michigan football. Sherrone Moore seems like the logical choice to replace Harbaugh. What might his staff look like and how will the transition affect recruiting and the current roster?
We tackle all of that on Wolverine Confidential. You can listen to the entire episode below, by clicking here (latest episode of Wolverine Confidential), or anywhere you find podcasts.
