Earlier today, a report surfaced that Jim Harbaugh was close to signing a contract extension that would theoretically keep him at Michigan through the 2026 season
But according to an anonymous source of the Detroit Free Press, that is not exactly the case as the Wolverines are not Harbaugh’s first option.
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that an offer is on the table for Harbaugh but he is waiting to see if any NFL teams have an interest before he signs anything.
From Detroit Free Press:
A multi-year contract extension has been offered to Harbaugh, but as of Saturday evening, no extension has been signed, sources close to the situation told the Free Press.
The deal, which was initially offered as a three-year extension, would kick in on Jan. 11. That’s the day each year of Harbaugh’s contract has started since he was hired in 2014.
The sources spoke to the Free Press on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t cleared to talk to the media about the discussions.
Harbaugh hasn’t signed it yet because he’s waiting to see if any NFL teams have interest in him as a head coach.
The report when on to suggest that Harbaugh is specifically interested in coaching the Jets or Chargers.
