Jim Harbaugh Reportedly Gets Tough NCAA News on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jim Harbaugh, the former coach of the Michigan Wolverines, was dealt perhaps the most severe individual penalty in modern NCAA history this past Friday: a 10-year show-cause order from the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

The NFL and the Chargers officially had no comment on the NCAA’s 10-year “show cause” order on head coach Jim Harbaugh when both parties were reached on Friday.

The NCAA just dropped the hammer on former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, handing him a record-setting 10-year show-cause penalty—the longest ever given to a head coach in college football history.

Penalties were handed down by the NCAA to the Michigan Wolverines on Friday, effectively concluding the Wolverines' recent scandal involving inappropriate sign-stealing allegations during the Jim Harbaugh era in Ann Arbor.

Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said earlier this week that he expects right guard Mekhi Becton to be ready for Week 1 even though Becton hasn't practiced in over two weeks, but head coach Jim Harbaugh didn't go nearly that far in a Thursday press conference.

Despite Rashawn Slater's injury, the Chargers could still find success in the AFC West. If they win the division, Jim Harbaugh could be a prime COTY candidate.
