The Michigan Wolverines are all-in for a national title run in 2023 and the way things are going, they could lose more than just players this offseason. After Jim Harbaugh’s suspension, he may be ready to head back to the NFL along with his quarterback and a few other great Michigan men.
It’s clear that this team is good enough to win it all, but in sports, we always have an eye on the future, especially with a program that is simultaneously at the height of its powers and in complete flux.
Sherrone Moore could be leading this program in a few months and we saw what the team would look like with the former offensive line coach in charge. Michigan bullied Penn State with the run game in Week 11, but next season, Moore could be looking to replace two running backs.
