Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said he is confident football coach Jim Harbaugh, who, as he enters is seventh season recently signed an extension that takes him through 2025, is the right fit for the program.
Manuel, appearing on the “In the Trenches” podcast on Saturday with Jon Jansen, said he is “happy” with the extension that Harbaugh signed earlier this month. Harbaugh has since overhauled his coaching staff.
“I believe in him and his ability to lead this team to great success,” Manuel said on the podcast. “He understands that and believes that as well. As a former captain and quarterback here, he knows exactly the expectations of Michigan and Michigan football, and the things that are expected in terms of success.
