Jim Harbaugh has finally achieved his goal of becoming a national champion in college football with Michigan. That’s why his new challenge is to win a Super Bowl. Eleven years ago, the head coach came very close with the San Francisco 49ers when he lost the big game against his brother John and the Ravens.

Now, Harbaugh is part of an extraordinary list of available names heading into the 2024 season alongside Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel. Therefore, many teams will not miss the opportunity to change their future.

While Bill Belichick might be considered the top candidate for any team in the NFL, the significant issue is the longevity factor. Hence, Harbaugh is very appealing for a long-term rebuilding process.
