You can stop worrying about Jim Harbaugh leaving the University of Michigan for a cushy gig in the NFL.

According to a tweet from Adam Schefter, the same guy that kinda, sorta botched the Tom Brady retirement announcement a few days ago, Harbaugh has informed the University of Michigan that he intends on staying, even though he interviewed for the Minnesota Vikings head coaching job:

Jim Harbaugh called Michigan to inform the school that, despite interviewing with the Vikings today, he will be returning to school for the 2022 season, sources tell ESPN. Michigan was, in the words of one source, “elated” to get Harbaugh’s decision.

Many thought that Harbaugh would make the leap back to the NFL following his most successful season in Ann Arbor, but it looks like the ‘Michigan man’ will remain for the foreseeable future.

This is certainly good news for the Wolverines. Hopefully, they’ll be able to build on their success from last season and make their way back into the playoffs next season.
