Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh won’t coach the Wolverines in Saturday’s Big Ten game at Penn State on Saturday afternoon.
Harbaugh had been suspended Friday for the remainder of the regular season by conference commissioner Tony Petitti, but the school made a legal filing later in the day in hopes of receiving a temporary restraining order. That order will not come down Saturday, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN and Angelique Chengelis of the Detroit Free Press, meaning Harbaugh cannot be present at Beaver Stadium when the No. 3 Wolverines (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) face the No. 10 Nittany Lions (8-1, 5-1) at noon ET. Offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore will serve as acting head coach in Harbaugh’s absence.
“We look forward to presenting our case next week where we intend to demonstrate that the Big Ten has not acted legally or fairly,” Michigan said in a statement, per ESPN’s Heather Dinich.
