The rise, fall and rise again of Jim Harbaugh shows how quickly college coaches go from hot to not

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! When Jim Harbaugh took a pay cut from Michigan after the 2020 season, getting another chance to be an NFL head coach seemed like a long shot for him. “Jim Harbaugh didn’t forget how to coach a couple years ago and then say, ‘Oh, I remember how to coach again now to win a championship,’” former Florida coach and ESPN analyst Dan Mullen said. Meanwhile, Harbaugh’s most likely replacement is 37-year-old offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore, who has never been a head coach but went 4-0 this season filling in for his suspended boss, including a victory against Ohio State. “The players give you full confidence, too, to call the game however you want to call it and make the decisions, and those kids really — they’re the reason why it was easier for me than it probably would have been.” Moore came to Michigan in 2018 as tight ends coach with only short stints at Louisville and Central Michigan on his resume.
