The Michigan Wolverines just dropped their farewell video dedicated to now-former head coach Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh is on his way back to the NFL after accepting the head coaching position for the Los Angeles Chargers. And although the program is sad to see him go, they are grateful for the time spent together, which culminated with a national championship victory to cap off the 2023 campaign.

Harbaugh releases first public comments on taking Chargers job

Shortly after the announcement was made, Harbaugh shared his thoughts on a number of topics, from his time at Michigan to accepting the Chargers head coaching position.

“My love for Michigan, playing there and coming back to coach there, leaves a lasting impact. I’ll always be a loyal Wolverine,” said Harbaugh. “I’m remarkably fortunate to have been afforded the privilege of coaching at places where life’s journey has created strong personal connections for me. From working as an assistant coach at Western Kentucky alongside my father, Jack, and time as an assistant with the Raiders, to being a head coach at USD, Stanford, the 49ers and Michigan — each of those opportunities carried significance, each felt personal. When I played for the Chargers, the Spanos family could not have been more gracious or more welcoming. Being back here feels like home, and it’s great to see that those things haven’t changed.

“The only job you start at the top is digging a hole, so we know we’ve got to earn our way. Be better today than yesterday. Be better tomorrow than today. My priorities are faith, family and football, and we are going to attack each with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. This organization is putting in the work — investing capital, building infrastructure and doing everything within its power to win. Great effort equals great results, and we’re just getting started.”
