Ann Arbor – Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel believes football coach Jim Harbaugh is “worth everything that we pay him.”
Manuel offered that response Tuesday during a round table with media in regard to Harbaugh’s generous contract addendum revealed last week. He received in June a $2 million insurance payment, and will receive another at the end of the year, and his annual salary is now a hair below Alabama’s Nick Saban.
Harbaugh, entering his second season at Michigan, has rejuvenated the program and fan base with a 10-3 season last fall, and his entertaining ability to sub-tweet with the best of them.
