Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh has a contract extension offer with the university sitting on his desk. However, Harbaugh signing the extension and remaining with the Wolverines is far from a certainty.
His interest in a potential NFL return is no secret. Harbaugh has interviewed for numerous professional coaching jobs the last several offseasons, which includes discussions with the Los Angeles Chargers and Atlanta Falcons so far this coaching cycle. However, Harbaugh loves Michigan, and it would take the perfect situation for him to return to the NFL.
Fresh off a national championship, Michigan football fans are beginning to get antsy. Harbaugh’s future at the school remains unclear. As such, fans have gotten over the national title high, and instead have directed their frustrations toward University of Michigan president Santa Ono, as well as athletic director Warde Manuel. This is a good reminder that happiness and overall contentment is fleeting in major college athletics.
Here are some of the best reactions from social media, as Michigan fans continue to air their grievances with key decision makers within the administration:
Dear @SantaJOno, FIRE WARDE.😤
Sincerely,
The entire Michigan fanbase and Alumn.— Zee🇵🇱 (@Szetela89) January 17, 2024
Day 1 of asking @SantaJOno why he is letting Michigan AD run this great athletic department into the ground. You have let down so many great fans who gives thousands of dollars to this great football program. You and warde should be ashamed!

Hoping @SantaJOno is doing his job correctly and having a sit down with warde to tell him you either get this contract done or you’re fired

So @SantaJOno
You need to fire Warde. You can’t let Harbaugh walk away.— Michigan’s Armchair Quarterback (@ArmchairQB_UM) January 16, 2024
Do (literally) whatever it takes @SantaJOno. https://t.co/KX2RDAMHtm
