"Harbaugh's Record-Breaking Bonuses and Potential NFL Departure from Michigan"
College football head coaches at Bowl Subdivision public schools claimed just over $15.5 million in bonuses this season, with Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh leading the way with a record-setting $3 million haul. In addition, 14 coaches reached goals that would result in automatic contract extensions worth a combined $58.7 million. Harbaugh's bonuses included $1 million for the team's CFP title win, and he redirected about $1.5 million of his bonus money to members of the Michigan athletics department who had taken pandemic-related pay cuts. Other top bonus totals for 2023 included Washington’s Kalen DeBoer at $1.075 million and Louisville’s Jeff Brohm at $800,000.
