Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh Wants Immunity From Termination Related to Ongoing NCAA Investigations in New Contract

If Michigan wants to keep Jim Harbaugh around after the Wolverines' national championship season, it may have to implement some unusual contract language.

Per a report from Yahoo Sports, Harbaugh is seeking contract language that grants him immunity from being fired for any results of the ongoing NCAA investigations into the Michigan football program.

Harbaugh has flirted with the idea of filling an NFL coaching vacancy in the week since Michigan's victory over Washington in the College Football Playoff National Championship. He's emerged as one of the candidates to coach the Los Angeles Chargers after they fired Brandon Staley in December.
