One of the biggest questions of the college football offseason was answered Wednesday, with Jim Harbaugh making the move back to the NFL to join the Los Angeles Chargers.

Harbaugh, who is coming off leading his alma mater Michigan to its first national title since 1997 and its first outright championship since 1948, becomes the latest domino to fall in what has already been a wild college football offseason. Three playoff teams have now had head coaching vacancies, with Alabama's Nick Saban retiring and Washington's Kalen DeBoer taking his stead.

Rumors of Harbaugh going back to the pros have been swirling since the moment Michigan's season ended, and it had become an annual tradition of sorts since 2022, when Harbaugh was courted by the Vikings. The presumptive replacement for Harbaugh is Sherrone Moore, who coached in Harbaugh's place during Michigan's last three games of the regular season when Harbaugh was suspended.
