I truly believe that Jim was ready to sign his extension a couple weeks ago. But since then He’s had to accept the three game suspension which includes him missing the game and Michigan’s 1000th win and has now had to fire a coach for impeding an investigation. Now it’s being reported by Josh that the contract will be on hold until the notice of allegations is given. If you think that is going to be anytime soon you’re crazy, as the Chris Partridge situation opens up a whole new situation that has to be investigated.
I’m not saying that Harbaugh wants to leave Michigan. What I am saying is it will be well into the off-season before a contract extension is signed and as more and more information comes out it gets worse and worse for Michigan. By mid January a $12MM offer from the NFL and leaving all this behind would have to be pretty appealing to Jim. I really hope I’m wrong.
