"Afraid of what Georgia will become": CFB fans brace for Georgia's dominance as former Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh leaves for the NFL

Jim Harbaugh has reportedly left Michigan to become the coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, according to ESPN, leaving the national champions with an open coaching position.

The Chargers have announced on their website that they have reached an agreement with Harbaugh to be their coach. Dean Spanos, the chairman and owner of the Los Angeles Chargers, expressed his excitement about Harbaugh's appointment:

"Jim Harbaugh is football personified, and I can think of no one better to lead the Chargers forward. ... And today, Jim Harbaugh returns to the Chargers, this time as our coach. Who has it better than us?", said Spanos.

Social media quickly reacted to the news, with college football fans anticipating Georgia's dominance now that Harbaugh has left Michigan for the NFL.

One fan even suggested that Harbaugh's departure may be due to his fear of Georgia's potential success with Nick Saban retired, tweeting:

“He knows Michigan is about to collapse. He’s clearly afraid of what Georgia will become with Nick Saban retired."

“We are all afraid of what Georgia will become with Nick Saban retired, Coach. Is it possible that 10 straight SEC championships will be the sign that unleashes the Apocalypse?”, another tweeted.

“Retired Saban and offed UGA. His work is done,” another tweeted.

“He’s getting out before facing any real sanctions,” a fan reacted.

“This is not it. Its the fact that Shoneys told him he will NOT have a corner booth at the new location in Ann Arbor. He booked the next flight out,” another user commented.

“Sorry to tell you, but that has nothing to do with him leaving,” a fan reacted.

“Georgia couldn’t handle the rigors of the B10 West,” another X user tweeted.

“Wait until you hear what Brian Kelly has cooking in the bayou,” one wrote.
