It looks like a third member of the Harbaugh family is going to be coaching in the NFL this season according to Albert Breer of SI.com.
The Seattle Seahawks are expected to hire Jay Harbaugh as their special teams coordinator under new head coach Mike Macdonald. The 34-year-old Harbaugh served in that role for the past five seasons at the University of Michigan under his father Jim. A report from the Ann Arbor News last week stated that the younger Harbaugh was set to follow his father to Los Angeles to coach on the Chargers' staff, but he will instead reunite with Macdonald in Seattle.
Macdonald and Harbaugh have coached together for two seasons, first on the Baltimore Ravens' staff in 2014 and then at U-M in 2021, when Macdonald was the Wolverines' defensive coordinator.
Jay Harbaugh began his coaching career in 2008 with a four-year stint as an undergraduate assistant at Oregon State. He spent three seasons on the Ravens' staff as an offensive quality control coach from 2012 to '14 before joining his dad at Michigan, where he also worked with tight ends, running backs and most recently safeties. Jay Harbaugh was the assistant special teams coach from 2015 to '18 before being promoted to coordinator in 2019.
Jay Harbaugh replaces Larry Izzo, who served as Seattle's special teams coordinator under former coach Pete Carroll for the past four seasons. Harbaugh becomes the first coordinator and second assistant to be hired to Seattle's staff since Macdonald was introduced as head coach last week. Macdonald has also hired Leslie Frazier as assistant head coach.
