Michigan President says Harbaugh isn’t on the hot seat

Every time the Michigan Wolverines lose a big game the same question gets asked on the radio, in articles, and proclaimed by disgruntled fans and foes...

“Is Jim Harbaugh on the hot seat?”

“Harbaugh better be on the hot seat!”

First of all, heated car seats are awesome in the winter. But secondly, to think Harbaugh is on the hot seat is as silly as the joke I just made.

Earlier today, University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel threw cold water on this “hot seat” talk with one simple, yet telling sentence.

There’s the matter of economics at hand, Harbaugh is still owed over $28 million dollars by the university (he also receives $2 million plus per year via an insurance policy).
