Jim Harbaugh’s football future at Michigan is in question due to the recent scandal over alleged sign-stealing. Even before the scandal broke, there were rumors that Harbaugh could return to the NFL after the 2023 season. Given the rumors, Tom Brady has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Harbaugh in Michigan.
In fact, Betonline presents an intriguing opportunity for Brady to replace Harbaugh. The odds of Brady becoming the next head coach of the Michigan football team are +10,000.
These possibilities are not very outstanding. In fact, there are 16 other people with better odds than Brady, according to Betonline. There aren’t many reports that Brady is even interested in coaching. However, the Wolverines may inquire if Brady decides to coach.
After all, before Tom Brady was the best player in the NFL, he played for the University of Michigan in college.
Could Tom Brady return to coach at Michigan?
During Brady’s time at school, Michigan went 40-9. According to Sports Reference, he threw for 4,773 yards in 29 games. Brady threw 30 touchdown passes for the Wolverines.
Michigan State loves having Jim Harbaugh as their head coach. He helped rebuild the Wolverines into a true contender.
However, a recent sign theft scandal has raised questions. Harbaugh has denied the allegations amid the ongoing investigation. To truly silence its critics, though, Michigan needs to continue to play well.
One might even say the Wolverines have to win a national championship to get out of this one. Regardless of what the rest of their season holds, it will be interesting to see if Tom Brady becomes a realistic coaching candidate for Michigan football.
Even though the odds are low, the fact that it was mentioned is interesting to say the least.
