Breaking Down the Benjamins: A Coach's Salary Situation
Hold onto your maize and blue pom-poms, because Harbaugh's contract is a doozy. We're talking a 10-year, eye-watering $125 million deal. That's right, enough money to buy a small island (with a really good view of the Big House, of course). This hefty sum puts Harbaugh in the top tier of college football coaches' salaries.
But wait, there's more! On top of the base salary, there are also performance bonuses thrown in for things like winning championships (which, you know, Harbaugh seems pretty good at these days). So, the actual amount he walks away with each year could be even higher.
Harbaugh's Haircut: Who Pays for the Coach's Look?
Now, some folks might be wondering, "Hey, with all that money, does Harbaugh himself pay for those… interesting haircuts?" Well, that's a mystery that rivals the Bermuda Triangle. But hey, if winning football games is the price of that mane, then Michigan might just be getting a steal.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Friend or Foe? The NFL Looms Large
Let's not forget the NFL. Harbaugh has a history there, and those league salaries are a whole different ball game (pun intended). Part of the recent contract included a "no-NFL clause" for 2024, but hey, you never know what the future holds. If Harbaugh decides to take his talents to the pros, Michigan might have to break open the piggy bank again.
