Jim Harbaugh is not leaving Michigan and will remain the head football coach.
Michigan president Santa Ono in a Twitter post on Monday announced Harbaugh has informed him he will not be going anywhere.
“I just got off the phone with Coach Harbaugh and Jim shared with me the great news that he is going to remain as the Head Coach of the Michigan Wolverines,” Ono wrote. “That is fantastic news that I have communicated to our Athletic Director Warde Manuel.”
Harbaugh, 59, is entering his ninth season as Michigan coach, and while he has drawn recent NFL interest from the Denver Broncos, work had been on-going to finalize a new contract, the details of which have not yet been released.
