Harbaugh Taking His Talents to Ann Arbor

Harbaugh to be Named as Michigan Football Head Coach 

After spending a number of years bouncing from college football to the NFL, Coach Jim Harbaugh found himself in San Fransico. Harbaugh coached his 49ers to  playoff wins for the first 3 seasons.  The Harbaugh brothers would become the first brothers in the National Football League to become head coaches. 

Coach Harbaugh known for his success as a  coach, came in a restored yet another football program. Harbaugh built his team around his second round draft pick Colin Kapernick in 2011. At first, the 49ers head office and coach Harbaugh believed they had a gold mine in their quarterback position. After drafting Kapernick in 2011, the 49ers would go on to finish 13-3, after Kapernick took over for a seriously concussed, Alex Smith. 

All expectations for the 2012 season were at an all time high. With a mastermind of a coach in Jim Harbaugh and a gun slinger in that of Colin Kapernick at the quarterback position, the 49ers organization were excited for what the future would be. The 49ers would finish 11-4 in the regular season and play the Ravens, but ultimately lost in a 34-30 thriller to the Baltimore Ravens. 

The following season would end in the same dramatic fashion. The 49ers, again would lose in the NFC Championship game to a phenomenal play by none other than that of the ferocious Richard Sherman.

With mixed emotions about the past seasons' short comings, Colin Kapernick's media controversies , and a slow start to a mediocre 2014 season, 49ers owner Jed York came to the conclusion that they should go in a different route with who should be head coach in San Fransico. 

After the team's win this past weekend vs the Arizona Cardinals,  Harbaugh received a traditional gatorade bath and game ball  but this would be his last celebration as a 49er. 

Soon headed to the struggling University of Michigan, Harbaugh will again be faced with the challenge of establishing a winning culture to a football program that has had a rough 3 years of losing seasons. With the agreement and signing of a reported 6-yr/ $48 million contract, the monumental contract will make Jim Harbaugh the highest paid coach in college football history. 

For those who know Harbaugh, describe him to be a great competitor, mentor, and father figure who has nothing but the upmost faith in his team, who deserves every penny. 

In his post game interviews, a saddened and overwhelmed Jim Harbaugh, described his coaching career with the 49ers to be "the time of his life and that he can count only the 49 wins over the years as relevant."-ESPN Sources 

Now as the sports world awaits the 2015-16 season, the Wolverine football program will also await and have high hopes as to what the future holds for the once power house in that of the University of Michigan.
