Jim Harbaugh says that the rumor going around about him getting a lifetime contract from Michigan is “fake news.”
In the week leading up to the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry game, former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn said on the radio he was told by a Michigan insider that the program was talking about a lifetime contract for the coach.

The comments were very loosely sourced and seemed to be more of a reflection of how highly regarded Harbaugh is at Michigan rather than a reflection of facts.
Harbaugh was asked about it after the Wolverines’ loss to the Buckeyes Saturday and called it “fake news.”
Jim Harbaugh was just asked if a rumor about a life-time contract was distracting this week. “No,” Harbaugh said. “Fake news.”

Harbaugh has put Michigan back on the map since taking over the job, but he’s 0-3 against Ohio State and still hasn’t found a quarterback. He is close to being a playoff contender, but he needs a QB.
