Michigan QB has terminated his contract of $4.5 million due to …

Heading into the 2021 season, Jim Harbaugh hired a young, up-and-coming coach to be his defensive coordinator and at first, Michigan fans were skeptical. At the time, the 33-year old Mike Macdonald had never been a coordinator before and it honestly felt like big brother John was just throwing Jim a bone at a time of need. Macdonald ended up being one of the best coordinators in the country and turned the Wolverine defense into a top ten unit. His stint in Ann Arbor was short as he was then hired back by John Harbaugh to be his new DC with the Ravens. Now, Macdonald is the youngest head coach in the NFL as the new bossman of the Seattle Seahawks.

Jay Harbaugh will be moving to Seattle to work as Macdonald’s special teams coordinator. While most people thought Jay would be moving to Los Angeles to live with his father, it turns out he will be in the state of Washington, a little further north. After just a year together in Ann Arbor, Macdonald saw enough potential in the younger Harbaugh to offer him a key position in Seattle. Clearly, the two got along well.

It should be noted that Ryan Ficken, Jim Harbaugh’s special teams coordinator at the moment, is an excellent one. The Chargers are playing at a high level under the 43-year-old assistant, and his team is regarded as one of the best in the NFL.
