Jim Harbaugh is currently preparing to coach the Michigan Wolverines in a College Football Playoff showdown with the Alabama Crimson Tide, but that isn’t shutting down any speculation or betting action on his potential future in the NFL.
According to the most recent odds released by BetOnline, Jim Harbaugh is now the favorite to become the next head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers after the team decided to part ways with former head coach Brandon Staley earlier this month.
Harbaugh currently tops the list of all potential candidates on the board with odds of +200 that he will be the team’s head coach next season.
Here’s a list of BetOnline’s full odds for the Chargers’ next head coach according to Jaime Eisner of The Draft Network:
- Jim Harbaugh +200
- Bill Belichick +300
- Ben Johnson +400
- Kellen Moore +500
- Frank Smith +700
- Bobby Slowik +1200
- Eric Bieniemy +1200
- Lincoln Riley +1600
- Ryan Day +1600
- Dan Quinn +1800
- Brian Flores +2000
- Jerod Mayo +2000

- Raheem Morris +3300
Obviously, it’s pretty significant news that Harbaugh is considered the favorite to land this job, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media as a result.

If Harbaugh does bolt, I hope he was honest with recruits about that being a realistically possibility. https://t.co/OroEUHbl2B

Would be awesome but I doubt this guy is gonna leave a contract extension (gonna be massive) on the table at a program he just rebuilt back into a powerhouse. https://t.co/f15Bx5Krfm

I hope he can get the same results with the Chargers as he did when he coached the 49ers. https://t.co/3DRmM81Jsx

Michigan is reportedly offering a massive contract extension in an attempt to keep Harbaugh in Ann Arbor, so it will certainly be interesting to see what he chooses to do.
