Michigan now turns its attention to hiring Harbaugh’s successor, and the head coach of the Chargers has cast his vote for the next man to lead the Wolverines. 

"I’ll always be a loyal Wolverine," Harbaugh told The Detroit News. "But not a better man to coach the team than Sherrone Moore. He has my vote, my support wholeheartedly. I feel like it’s in great hands."

Michigan is expected to offer Moore the job barring an "unexpected development," ESPN reported on Wednesday.
