Freshly-signed Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, hot off winning his first College Football Playoff championship with the University of Michigan Wolverines, is going to be on the hook to his now-former program, as Kevin Skiver of USA Today details in a new piece. “Harbaugh, who coached the San Francisco 49ers before heading to Ann Arbor, now owes Michigan a buyout for breaking his contract. Michigan is due $1.5 million for his move to the NFL, a significantly small sum for a NFL franchise to manage,” Skiver writes. “Harbaugh reportedly was negotiating ways to keep his buyout low with Michigan as the Wolverines tried to keep their coach. But ultimately, he ended up rendering the conversation moot by joining the Chargers.”
