This week, a college football blog reported that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was looking to get out of his contract and return to the NFL. On Wednesday, Harbaugh denied those rumors in a letter to the parents of his players.
“I am reaching out to let you know that the recent claims that I am ‘pursuing an exit strategy’ are total crap,” Harbaugh wrote (via Sam Webb of The Michigan Insider). “It’s an annual strategy driven by our enemies to cause disruption to our program an to negatively recruit. By the way, I don’t even have an ‘agent or representative.’”
This isn’t the first time that Harbaugh has been linked to the pro game since taking over the Wolverines in 2015 and it likely won’t be the last. This past offseason, the Jets reportedly went after the ex-49ers HC and the Dolphins were also said to have him high on their list.
Harbaugh led the 49ers to three straight NFC championship games in his first three years as their head coach. At Michigan, Harbaugh is 43-16 overall, including a 3-2 record this year.
Please go back to the NFL and name PJ Fleck your successor at Michigan.

Or or or… he could leave Michigan for Arkansas and I could enjoy my Saturday’s in the fall again. Or maybe I could finally go to AA and stop drinking at 8 am.
Look brother, none of us are going to stop drinking at 8am until they push the first games of the day back to noon. It’s a trap that they set for us.
He has Michigan in a hell of a lot better shape now then where it was when he got there. Michigan fans are pathetic if they want to get rid of him. I bet Fleck would decline it if Harbaugh leaves. Imagine the pressure.
Lmao true that @yoyo137
Doesn’t matter he might end up being let go either way…
Highly doubt it. That is media making something out of nothing.
If you cannot beat The Ohio State University you won’t last at Michigan.

As a Buckeye fan I hope he never The School Up North. Ryan Day is going to continue Urban Meyer’s tradition of beating him every year.
*leaves
Will Ryan Day also continue Urban Meyer’s of poor ethics and cheating?
I think he is telling the truth. But he can always say if he ever left Michigan for a head-coaching job in the NFL “I had no interest but I was made an offer I could not possibly turn down“
Is Harbaugh happy in Michigan???
If we had a “College Rumors” site we might see a headline like “Michigan no longer has an interest in Harbaugh”.
He is an example of “jobs because of name, not talent”. Maybe he can go back to the University of San Diego where he started.
Honey Badger Don’t Care!
Please leave you stubborn SOB!
