Jim Harbaugh Rumors: Don't 'Discount' Commanders for Michigan HC After Rivera Fired

The Washington Commanders reportedly could be in the mix to hire Jim Harbaugh as their next head coach if the Michigan head football coach decides to leave the college ranks to return to the NFL.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Wednesday that he was told "not to totally discount" the idea of Harbaugh joining the Commanders, especially since his brother, John Harbaugh, is head coach of the nearby Baltimore Ravens.

Washington's head coaching position became available one day after the end of the 2023 regular season when the Commanders fired Ron Rivera, ending his four-year tenure with the organization.
