Michigan’s Decision to Tweet Jim Harbaugh’s Recent Statement Backfires

A curiously-timed social media exchange between Jim Harbaugh and Michigan sent the college football world into an uproar on Thursday as speculation continues to swirl surrounding the football coach’s future at the university.

The past week has been a whirlwind for Michigan as the program deals with an NCAA investigation and rumors regarding Harbaugh possibly leaving for a return to the NFL. Last Thursday, Harbaugh attempted to silence the chatter by announcing that he expects to be “enthusiastically coaching Michigan in 2023.”

However, in the days since Harbaugh’s announcement, there has been no confirmation from the longtime coach or school that he’ll remain in Ann Arbor for the long haul.
