It’s not easy being Jim Harbaugh’s boss.
And, yes, he does have one.
Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel dismisses the talk that his actual job title is chief Harbaugh facilitator. He’s his own man. He’ll have his own specific vision for the direction of an athletic department with one of the biggest annual operating budgets in the NCAA. And if called for, he’ll remind Harbaugh there are limits to the head coach’s high-profile emotional spillage regardless of intentions.
