Jim Harbaugh to serve as honorary captain for Michigan football season opener

Michigan football is planning to honor former head coach Jim Harbaugh during the upcoming football season, making him an honorary captain for the Aug. 31 opener. Harbaugh led Michigan to a national championship in 2023 before leaving for the NFL.

This decision was revealed by athletic director Warde Manuel during a recent interview on a podcast. The Ann Arbor News first reported Manuel’s tidbit about Harbaugh.

Harbaugh was given a four-year show-cause and a one-year suspension by the NCAA for his lack of cooperation in an investigation into alleged violations during his tenure at Michigan.

Evidently, the Wolverines don’t care about that, and are happy to bring back Harbaugh for a curtain call after his nearly decade-long run as the head coach at his alma mater.

This story will be updated.
