This Is How COVID-19 Saved Jim Harbaugh's Job At Michigan
Manage episode 363360165 series 3026004
A two win season in 2020, a salary slash, staff overhaul, culture rehaul, philosophy shift and a renewed focus on Ohio State - shifted Michigan's trajectory from and underperforming program to back to back Big 10 Champs.
When Michigan hired Jim Harbaugh to run their football program for the 2015 season, there were high expectations.
Bring Michigan back the national picture. Beat Ohio State, win the Big 10 and compete for National Championships
After 5 seasons, the Wolverines hadn't done any of that. Harbaugh failed to beat Ohio State, failed to best Urban Meyer. In 2018 and 2019 (Harbaugh's 4th and 5th seasons), Michigan was blown off the field by the Buckeyes.
The 2020 season was strange with COVID, and it didn't do Michigan any favors at first. They finished the year 2-4, but this could have saved Harbaugh's job and future with Michigan.
