After a 15-year career as a quarterback in the NFL, Harbaugh (59) switched to coaching in 2002, joining the Oakland Raiders as a QBs coach. Two years later, he was hired as the head coach of the University of San Diego.

Harbaugh went 29-6 in three seasons with the Toreros before joining Stanford as a head coach in 2007. The Cardinal went 4-8 in Harbaugh’s first year at the school. By his final season, Stanford improved to 12-1 and won the Orange Bowl.

After a successful seven-year stint in college, Harbaugh became the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, and he won again. The 49ers went 44-19-1 in four seasons with Harbaugh, winning two division titles and reaching the playoffs three times, including a Super Bowl appearance.

Harbaugh returned to college football in 2015 with the University of Michigan. The Wolverines have gone 74-25 in eight seasons under Harbaugh, reaching seven bowl games. He now plans to continue coaching at Michigan, leaving the Broncos to look elsewhere to replace Nathaniel Hackett.
