Jim Harbaugh refutes report that he is unsure of employment status in Michigan | Launderer report

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh told 247Sports’ Sam Webb that there was no truth to the rumor he told rookies he didn’t know if he would return to Ann Arbor next year:

The Harbaugh Wolverines are 2-4 this year and the coach is 49-22 overall since taking over the program in 2015. Harbaugh has yet to produce the kind of results fans of the Long-awaited Michigan with a 1-4 record in bowling games, a first-place in the Big Ten East and five straight losses to Ohio State.

Now that Michigan’s game against Maryland is canceled, the Wolverines will end the year winless at home for the first time in program history.

Still, there is no doubt that this season has been unusual across the board, given the impact of COVID-19 on sport and the world, and this could make it difficult to fully assess Harbaugh’s position this year. .

The athletics department in Ann Arbor has already to close all team activity until Monday after program members have tested positive. Meanwhile, the recruiting season is in full swing for Harbaugh and his staff, with the early signing period scheduled to begin in mid-December.

“It’s going well, “Harbaugh said earlier this week.” I’m never really allowed to talk about recruiting publicly. Well. Good relations, close bonds are forged. Personally, on our staff. With families. I feel really good. “

Michigan’s 2021 class is currently ranked second in the Big Ten, by 247Sports, behind only the state of Ohio. The Wolverines have commitments from a five-star player – quarterback JJ McCarthy – with 11 four-star prospects on board to play at The Big House next season.

Harbaugh plans to stay in his role long enough to welcome them to campus.
