Fox analyst Urban Meyer urges Michigan to 'fix' flat football program if Jim Harbaugh stays

Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, now a college football television analyst, praised Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh during the Fox Big Noon Kickoff show on Saturday, but made clear suggestions to areas that should be re-examined if Harbaugh remains coach of the Wolverines.

Harbaugh, in his sixth season at Michigan, has one year remaining on his contract, which expires after the 2021 season. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said earlier this week he and Harbaugh will discuss an extension after the season, which is Dec. 19. Michigan canceled Saturday’s game against rival Ohio State because of COVID-19-related issues, and awaits its Big Ten crossover matchup.
