Jim Harbaugh says he has no fear of a firing. Michigan football's schedule says otherwise

Back when Jim Harbaugh was still taking snaps under center and delivering passes from the pocket, he earned the “Captain Comeback” nickname for his ability to rally his team to victory.

Harbaugh’s willful nature and determination persist to this day as he begins to tackle the toughest test of his coaching career at a time when the Michigan football program he commands is in a rut.

That was evident Friday, when Harbaugh shared six of his personal goals during a virtual presentation, captured in a screenshot, at a Michigan High School Coaches Association clinic.

Among his objectives: Leading a team that would win the 2021 Big Ten and national championships — an ambition he has yet to realize in any of his previous six years at Michigan when the Wolverines haven't finished atop their own division.
