Report: Panthers owner David Tepper spoke with Jim Harbaugh about HC job

Even though Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks might’ve done enough to have that “interim” label knocked off going into 2023, owner David Tepper probably won’t leave a single stone unturned in naming his man. And his man could be a Michigan one.

As first reported by Will Kunkel of FOX Charlotte on Tuesday, Tepper has had a conversation with University of Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh regarding the team’s head-coaching job.

The former Panthers quarterback has spent the last eight years heading his alma mater in Ann Arbor, Mich. He’s led the Wolverines to a 74-25 mark since 2015, with a 1-6 record in bowl games.

Before his jump back to college, Harbaugh spent four seasons as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers between 2011 and 2014. That run, which resulted in a 44-19-1 mark, saw Harbaugh capture NFL Coach of the Year honors in 2011 as well as a Super Bowl appearance in the 2012 campaign.
