Once again, the offseason has resulted in another round of speculation about where Jim Harbaugh will coach once the fall comes around, and this time with the added bonus of his having led Michigan to its first national championship of the 21st century.

Harbaugh has already taken an official interview with the Los Angeles Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons, and it's expected there will be more interest in the coach. 

Not to mention from Michigan, which remains in the process of creating a deal it hopes Harbaugh will sign and stick with the program he's helped rebuild.

So, what sideline will Harbaugh be standing on when the 2024 football season kicks off? For that, let's take a look at the latest odds according to BetMGM.

Predicting where Jim Harbaugh will coach in 2024

Michigan (+175). The favorite to land Harbaugh remains his current employer after he helped revive the Wolverines program to win three Big Ten titles and its first national championship since 1997. 

Chargers (+225). Harbaugh would land a potentially generational quarterback in Justin Herbert in addition to some other talented players on what could be a playoff-ready roster, but one also that's very expensive and getting older.

Falcons (+600). Unlike the Chargers job, moving to Atlanta would give Harbaugh an easier division to play in, combined with some younger pieces on the roster, but he would have to make an investment in quarterback.

Raiders (+700). Mark Davis could be interested in hiring someone with a big name, but the team is also high on interim head coach Antonio Pierce, and there is also the question of an answer at quarterback there, as well.

Any other team (+1400). The long shot on the board is any other NFL team currently looking for a head coach, or any other college football program.
