Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh to receive base salary of $7.05 million this fall

espn.com

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh will receive a base salary of $7.05 million this fall and up to $7.6 million in the final year of his new contract, which runs through the 2026 season, according to a copy obtained by ESPN on Thursday.

Harbaugh, 58, signed the five-year deal following his most successful season as the Wolverines' head coach -- and after what has been arguably his most tumultuous offseason. The renewed commitment comes two weeks after Harbaugh's highly publicized Feb. 2 interview with the Minnesota Vikings on national signing day. Following the news that he did not receive an offer, Harbaugh and athletic director Warde Manuel agreed Harbaugh would continue to be the head coach at his alma mater.

The new terms also include a hefty fine if Harbaugh decides to leave early, though Harbaugh told the Detroit Free Press he assured Manuel his flirtation with the NFL would not be a recurring issue. If Harbaugh leaves prior to the end of this contract "for any reason," he would owe Michigan $3 million in the first year. The buyout then drops to $2.25 million in the second, $1.5 million in the third, $750,000 in the fourth and zero in the fifth and final year.

Harbaugh will receive $500,000 if Michigan wins the Big Ten East and plays in the conference championship game. He will receive $1 million if the Wolverines win the Big Ten title. He can earn an additional million if the team wins the national title. Harbaugh would receive $200,000 for an appearance in a New Year's Six bowl that's not a CFP semifinal, and $500,000 for a semifinal appearance.
