An apparent rift between Harbaugh and athletic director Warde Manuel. The relationship has been strained since Manuel cut Harbaugh’s pay as part of an agreement to keep him as coach after a 2–4 2020 season amid the pandemic. He signed a more lucrative contract last year after Michigan won the Big Ten and advanced to the College Football Playoff, and another new deal is expected after repeating both those feats, but there have been reports in recent days that Harbaugh and Manuel are at odds.
This is a school that has always held an extremely high opinion of itself. Largely, that’s been justified—it’s an elite academic institution. But the whole Michigan Man/Leaders and Best/Win The Right Way aura that has been affixed to athletics is taking on a little tarnish. Separate from those two problems, there is the duality of Harbaugh himself. He is the perfect Michigan coach in so many ways—a loyal alum, a ferocious competitor, a big-time winner, an outsized persona. He basks in the bright spotlight that comes with the job. But he’s also quirky, occasionally difficult and can wear out those around him—including those above him on the org chart.
