I'm watching ESPN and the headline is something along the lines of "Harbaugh to Michigan" and
Desmond Howard, of all people, is going on about NFL offers and pumping the breaks..
The 49ers would have never let him walk, especially for nothing, if they knew he was going to another NFL team. They can't face that potential backlash. If he was going to take another job in the league, why wouldn't the 49ers do everything they can to get some compensation? He did have a year left on the deal.
These reporters have been all about denying Harbaugh's interest in Michigan and shoving this NFL crap at us. I don't know if it's because of the agenda and not wanting to admit they're wrong, or what, but there's not going to be an NFL offer to sway him. These NFL coaching rumors won't go away today, and heck, some of these guys won't stop even when he's officially Michigan's coach. San Fran and Harbaugh "mutually parting ways" was enough information for me. Around this time tomorrow Jim will be in maize and blue talking about how much he loves Michigan.
