According to the report, Harbaugh’s salary would be less than previously paid and would be strongly encouraged. “Michigan and Jim Harbaugh are approaching what would be a five-year extension with a lower base salary, but with strong incentives, ”said the report. “If the Wolverines achieved certain championship benchmarks, he could recover most of the $ 8 million he was destined to make this season … The contract presented has strong incentives to win the Big Ten East Division, a Big Ten championship, reaching the national playoffs and winning a national championship. There is also a smaller takeover if UM decides to fire Harbaugh. “
Harbaugh has been in Michigan since 2015 and has a 49-22 record at that time. Although he led the show in 10-win seasons in 2015, 2016 and 2018, patience among the fan base is running out after a 2-4 start in the 2020 season.
Monday night, national bestselling author John U. Bacon reported that Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel had discussed a possible extension of the contract with Harbaugh, but one that is loaded with incentives, with a lower base salary and a lower acquisition.
“AN AD Warde Manuel discussed with Jim Harbaugh a new contract with lower base salary and acquisition, although with good dispositions to hire top assistants and great incentives for performance “, wrote Bacon.
He continued in a second tweet: “Harbaugh can now accept, negotiate or refuse. At least five NFL teams have expressed an interest in hiring him – as usual – although it is not clear whether any of them have already made firm offers.”
