Online sportsbooks don't know everything.

But if it did, Jim Harbaugh would be the next Michigan football coach.

The current San Francisco 49ers head coach has the best odds to replace Brady Hoke, according to online sportsbook Bovada, at +200.

LSU coach Les Miles is right behind Harbaugh at +250, followed by Tennessee coach Butch Jones (+350), Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy (+350) and former Rutgers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano (+450).

Michigan fired Brady Hoke on Tuesday after four seasons, three of which the Wolverines were on decline from the previous year.

Later that day, Sporting News writer Marcus DiNitto created mock odds, saying Miles is the "clear favorite" to be the next U-M coach at 5-to-1, followed by Schiano (8-to-1), Stanford coach David Shaw (10-to-1) and Harbaugh (15-to-1).
