Contract extension talk for Michigan's Jim Harbaugh? 'Not yet,' AD says

ANN ARBOR -- While Warde Manuel made his pitch to keep men's basketball coach John Beilein on Wednesday, the Michigan athletic director isn't doing the same for his football coach.

At least not yet.

Manuel told reporters after a news conference promoting the upcoming International Champions Cup soccer match at Michigan Stadium that he has not yet discussed a contract extension with Jim Harbaugh.

"Not yet -- no," Manuel said. "Not at this point."

Harbaugh officially began Year 4 of his current seven-year contract on Jan. 11, a key threshold for many college football coaches when it comes to recruiting.
