Jim Harbaugh Leaves Michigan for NFL's Chargers, Sherrone Moore Promoted to Head Coach

Harbaugh's pursuit of Lombardi Trophy prompts move, Moore becomes first Black head coach in Michigan football history

Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines, has revealed his reason for leaving college football to join the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL: the pursuit of the Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the Super Bowl champions.
Harbaugh led the Wolverines to an undefeated national championship and three consecutive Big Ten titles during his nine-season stint.
Sherrone Moore, the Wolverines' former offensive coordinator, has been promoted to head coach, becoming the first Black head coach in the history of Michigan football.
Moore led the Wolverines to a 4-0 record during Harbaugh's three-game suspension in the 2023 season.
Harbaugh's move to the Chargers will see him compete in the same division as his brother, John Harbaugh, head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
