There's been much made after salary figures released in recent days noted just how much Jim Harbaugh was making, and how much more that is than fellow college football coach Nick Saban.

And while the consensus has been Harbaugh may not actually be worth the $9 million owed, the head coach may be worth even $1 million more.
If Harbaugh and the Wolverines win the national championship, along with a variety of other accomplishments that include taking home the Big Ten title and one of six national coach of the year awards, he'd be due bonuses that could bump his salary that addition $1 million.
While it would be just one national championship compared to Saban's five titles, Michigan would have to differ on whether Harbaugh is worth it if he's able to bring a title to Ann Arbor.
