He was entering his 7th season as the coach of the Wolverines, and while Michigan had improved greatly compared to how they were before the Harbaugh era, he had no wins against Ohio State, no Big Ten titles and no College Football Playoff appearances.

One of the most significant aspects of the modern college football landscape is the transfer portal, which is currently open once more. In the short time since the portal opened, more than 1,200 players have already entered their names. College football’s offseason will be hectic once more.
The Michigan football team will need to perform exceptionally well this year after benefiting immensely from the portal the previous two years. For the third consecutive year, the Wolverines, who are presently ranked #1 in the nation, are returning to the College Football Playoffs. Michigan has a ton of NFL talent, which is one major reason why they are playing so well this year. After this season, this team may send a record number of players to the NFL. The transfer portal will be the means by which the Wolverines rebuild during the offseason. Michigan should aim to sign these players.
