Michigan fans badly want head coach Jim Harbaugh back but at the expense of athletic director Warde Manuel.
In fact, it’s led to the fanbase making a petition to fire Manuel and retain Harbaugh, even though the latter is flirting with the NFL again.

Harbaugh has already met with the Los Angeles Chargers and Atlanta Falcons for their head-coaching vacancies. He’s at the top of the Chargers’ wishlist but could be a top candidate with the Falcons if they’re not able to get Bill Belichick.
There’s also a chance he gets interviewed by the Las Vegas Raiders but that has yet to happen so far.
The school is hoping to sign him to a long-term extension after leading the program to a national title but that continues to be up in the air.
It remains to be seen what the next week or two bring for this situation.
