I don’t think it’s really in our best interest to get in a bidding war, so this is my final offer. $5.8 million. Lose to Ohio State and Sparty every year. Lose to Rutgers every 3 years. Cover up a major sexual abuse problem. Take the team to Afghanistan next year. My final offer.I'll do it for $5.9M, plus besides just losing to Ohio State; I'll continue the tradition of making scUM a laughing stock by losing to Arkansas State, commit multiple recruiting violations, and get scUM on NCAA probation, etc.

Researching the Magic!
No chance, I'm taking the job for a cool million (more than I'll ever make in my lifetime) and promising to make them the laughing stock of CFB. Just good enough to make it to the Cheez-it Bowl every year and then lose in hilarious fashion.

SKULL SESSION: OHIO STADIUM'S SOCIAL-DISTANCED CROWDS DURING THE 1918 PANDEMIC, JIM HARBAUGH THINKS MICHIGAN IS "AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE" TO BEATING OHIO STATE, AND MIKE DOSS OWNS JONATHAN VILMA
“AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE.” Listen, I'm used to a strong bit of delusion coming from the north – let's be real, delusions are all they've got – but this quarantine must have them extra frisky because I have never seen so much blatant detachment from reality as they've shown the past few months.
We've had Josh Gattis saying Michigan "beat ourselves" in a 56-27 home loss to Ohio State, then we saw him tout a bunch of bowl losses to hype Michigan's non-conference scheduling, and now we've got Jim Harbaugh suggesting that the past five years Michigan's been "about as close as you can possibly be" to beating Ohio State.
“It makes us mad. I know people are mad about it, and we’re mad about it, too,” Harbaugh said. “They’re the only team in the Big Ten we haven’t beaten and we’ve gotta beat them. That’s what we have to do. That’s what motivates us. That’s what kicks us into high drive and that’s what we’re about and after every day.”
...
Marcello asked Harbaugh about how close the maize and blue are in that regard to getting to the promised land, and Harbaugh noted that they’re close, but still not there yet.
“You can just look back at the last years that we’ve been here, the last five years,” Harbaugh said. “Been about as close as you can possibly be, but you’ve gotta put it over the top.”
That's a mighty creative way to describe two consecutive three-touchdown losses. If he'd consider the outright flaying his poor football team received these past two years "about as close as you can possibly be" to winning, I'm not even sure what to say.
There's a chance Jimmy is still stuck on that one time four years ago that the best Michigan team in two decades almost beat an Ohio State team without an offense (which would be hilariously on-brand for a Michigan Man to be living in the past about a game he actually lost). But even if that's what he's referring to, his team has been moving exponentially in the wrong direction since then, so that's a tough thing to hang your hat on.
At this point, I would honestly respect the hell out of Harbaugh and the entire Michigan staff if they just came out and said "Yeah, at this point we're just competing for second place." I mean, part of good leadership is setting realistic goals, and he's gotta know The Game is just unattainable.

If he thinks Michigan football has been close to a national title, Jim Harbaugh is delusional
Earlier this month, Michigan's Jim Harbaugh offered a proposal that would reform college football, liberate student-athletes, and give players across the country the freedom to enter the NFL draft at any point while in school.
Presenting his plan in a letter that his public relations staff disseminated to various media outlets, he yearned to be taken seriously.
As the coach at one of the nation’s most recognized programs, Harbaugh sees himself as an influencer who can use his prominent post and name recognition to generate support for the ideas he espouses.
His advocacy of the one-time transfer rule is an example. So was his suggestion made in November of an expanded playoff bracket that would feature 11 teams.
But then Harbaugh gets in his own way and undermines his credibility by taking a detour away from reality.
He did so again Wednesday, when he told 247Sports.com that during his five-year tenure, Michigan has been “about as close as you can possibly be” to winning a national championship.
Never mind that his teams have never claimed a Big Ten title, finished atop the division, lost fewer than three games in a season, or beaten Ohio State, their fiercest rival.
In the eyes of Harbaugh, they have been right there, an arm’s length from grabbing the trophy bestowed on the sport’s best college team.
It’s uncertain how he came to that conclusion.
The highest the Wolverines have ever climbed in the College Football Playoff rankings is third, and they've never been among the top four teamspast the final week of the regular season.
Harbaugh could try to point to the excruciating overtime loss to the Buckeyes in 2016 as evidence that Michigan had a national title in sight.
But to make that leap, he and everyone else would have to ignore that Clemson held Ohio State scoreless in a 31-point victory in the semifinal before beating Alabama in the final second to claim the championship.
In many ways, that is easier to do than acknowledging the inconvenient truths that surround his program, which Harbaugh has been reluctant to do over the years.
Last fall, he was asked about Michigan’s poor track record during his tenure of developing quarterbacks who were recruited out of high school.
Instead of offering an explanation, Harbaugh responded: “I’d rather not toot my own horn.”
.
.
continued
.
.
Harbaugh has elevated the program far beyond where it was during the Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke eras. His .723 winning percentage is evidence of that.
But he hasn’t sniffed a national championship, contrary to what he believes.
That is sheer delusion.
Since his arrival before the 2015 season, Michigan has never finished higher than 10th in the AP poll.
The gap between the best of the best and the Wolverines is sizable. Harbaugh needs to recognize that instead of dabbling in fantasy.
Otherwise, the chasm will remain and Michigan won’t be able to rise above the status quo, further weakening his credibility in a sport where he still sees himself as an influencer.
The reality check addressed to Harbaugh is long overdue.
