Naturally, many questioned Jim Harbaugh’s decision to leave the Michigan Wolverines, where he was in a really favorable situation, to join the Los Angeles Chargers. After all, Michigan had just won a national championship, and Harbaugh’s coaching career was at an all-time high. However, Harbaugh provided further details about his resignation from Michigan football in an interview that aired on Tuesday on the Dan Patrick Show. The coach, who is 60 years old, stated that he wished to determine whether he still possesses the necessary skills to lead at the “highest level.”
Jim Harbaugh coached Michigan football for nine seasons, tallying an 89-25 record during that era. Prior to that, however, he coached the San Francisco 49ers from 2011 to 2014 and even reached the Super Bowl in the 2012 season–albeit losing to his brother, John Harbaugh, and the Baltimore Ravens.
Sure enough, it’s easy to see why Harbaugh wanted to go back to the NFL and settle some unfinished business. He wants to win and prove himself, and he has an opportunity to do that with the Chargers.
