It has only been a couple days since the official announcement that Jim Harbaugh was leaving to become the head coach of the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers, and the Michigan Wolverines have still yet to hire a new head coach. In this day and age of the transfer portal and NIL — to mention also high school recruiting — being prompt about something like this is incredibly important.
That isn’t to say Warde Manuel and the Athletic Department are dragging their feet — by all accounts, it sounds like they want to be quick about it — but if there was any sense of urgency, a decision would be made very soon regardless if they have to wait seven days to make the hire due to state law and/or university policy.
