Jim Harbaugh, on the back of a spectacular season with the Michigan Wolverines, is ready to once more set foot in the NFL spotlight. And right alongside him, as she has been for most of his career, will be his wife, Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh. Known for his dynamic presence as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines and a former NFL quarterback, Jim’s personal life, especially his marriage to Sarah, is a narrative worth knowing.

Sarah, hailing from a large family in Belton, Missouri, lived a relatively private life before her marriage to Jim Harbaugh. After tying the knot with the well-known football coach, Sarah’s life naturally gained more public attention. However, she has adeptly managed to keep a discreet presence, dedicating herself to her family and playing a supportive role in Jim’s professional journey.

Their love story began unassumingly in a Las Vegas PF Chang’s parking lot in 2006. At that time, Sarah was engaged in real estate in Las Vegas, while Jim was in town attending a coaches’ convention. Sarah Harbaugh is 45, putting the age difference between the couple at 15 years.
Before marrying Sarah, Jim was married to Miah Harbaugh, with whom he shares three children. His eldest son, Jay, is following in his father’s footsteps as a special teams coach at Michigan. With Sarah, Jim welcomed four more children: daughters Katherine and Addison, and sons John and Jack.

As Jim Harbaugh stands on the cusp of potentially shifting his coaching career back to the NFL, Sarah’s role in his life becomes even more pronounced. She accompanied Jim to Los Angeles for his second interview with the Chargers for their head coaching vacancy. Things must be pretty serious!
The guy who’s been rocking it at Michigan for nine years and even took them to a national championship could be at the helm of the struggling Chargers next season. He’s been the main man for teams like the San Diego Toreros, the Stanford Cardinals, and the San Francisco 49ers. Even Colin Cowherd from FS1 is in on the gossip, hinting that the Chargers might be cooking up a sweet deal for Harbaugh.
