There has been plenty of smoke and speculation in recent days regarding the contract future of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, in his sixth year with the program, but it’s unclear exactly when the white smoke might puff from the roof of the athletic department with a decision.
Harbaugh has one year remaining on his contract, which expires after the 2021 season. His team is 2-4 this fall and on Tuesday canceled the annual rivalry game against Ohio State because of a COVID-19 outbreak on the team.
During a video conference with reporters Tuesday to discuss the decision not to play at Ohio State on Saturday, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said he and Harbaugh, who also participated in the news conference, will have formal discussions after the season.
