Jim Harbaugh, Michigan
Jim Harbaugh has certainly brought the Michigan Wolverines back to a place of respectability and he could be a year or two away from making a legitimate CFP run. With that said, 2016 may have been his best shot in the here and now, and his team ultimately ended up disappointing.
Heading into Iowa City in early November undefeated at 9-0, the Wolverines lost to a very mediocre Hawkeye team, 14-13. Michigan then went to Ohio State and lost in disappointing fashion in double overtime before losing to Florida State in the Capital One Orange Bowl.
Michigan should still be a Big Ten contender in 2017, but the Wolverines did lose some key players, so nothing is guaranteed.
Keep in mind, Harbaugh is making about $7 million per year, so expectations in Ann Arbor should be championship or bust. And anytime he doesn’t meet those expectations, he runs the risk of being deemed overrated.
