Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines are back on top of the college football world.
Their dominating 34-13 triumph over the Washington Huskies on Monday night was just as glorious as it was convincing.
Amid the celebration inside NRG Stadium in Houston, Harbaugh basked in the joy of the victory with both his players and family.
His daughter, Grace, seemed to enjoy the win just as much as anyone.
“Go blue forever,” Grace captioned her Instagram Stories post as confetti rained down inside the stadium.
It was Michigan’s first national title since 1997.
Now, the attention turns to Harbaugh and what the future holds for him…

It’s no secret that Harbaugh is at the very least expected to explore NFL coaching opportunities.
Many people think it’s inevitable that he leaves Ann Arbor and heads back to the “men’s league.”

To no one’s surprise, Harbaugh had zero interest in discussing his future following Monday’s title victory.
“I just want to enjoy this. I hope you give me that. Can a guy have that?” he said.
“Does it always have to be, ‘What’s next, what’s the future?’”

Michigan star running back Blake Corum, who played a pivotal role in the championship game with 134 rushing yards, expressed his admiration for Harbaugh following the championship win…

“Who wouldn’t want him?” Corum asked.
“When things come up like that (the NFL rumors), hey, you’ve got to do what’s best for you. You have a great coach like that, everybody wants a piece of you,” he said.

Harbaugh, who flirted with the NFL over the past two years, faces a critical decision.
He knows he can sign a lucrative extension – reportedly $125 million over 10 years – and remain with the Wolverines as the unquestioned king of Ann Arbor…
Or perhaps the itch of the NFL is too great for him to pass up.
Maybe he feels he accomplished what he set out for at Michigan, and the next step in his coaching journey is to win the Super Bowl, like his brother John…
What do you think Harbaugh will decide to do?
Will he stay at Michigan?
Or will he soon be heading off to the NFL???
