Multiple NFL and Michigan sources had said for weeks that 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh was not expected to wind up at Michigan, but in recent days at least one person familiar with his thinking said he was at least "considering it."

According to multiple reports, Michigan has made a six-year, $49 million offer to Harbaugh. The offer was earlier reported by CBS5 in Arizona.

The annual average pay of $8.17 million would make Harbaugh the highest-paid college football coach, surpassing Alabama's Nick Saban by more than $1.21 million.

Another person close to the process said that while it was possible Harbaugh could wind up at Michigan, "it was not likely."

Asked why he was considering it now, but hadn't been previously, one person said now that the 49ers are out of the playoffs, it was possible for Harbaugh to at least consider the offer.

She's from Missouri. If I'm not mistaken, she would have gladly let Harbaugh accept a job with the Chiefs several years ago.

It's coming from enough disconnected places that it rings as credible to me.

But she may also like 8 million a year more than nocal. Who knows...

I'm a bitter midwesterner. Let me just get that out of the way. But the media hates the Big 10. They despise the midwest. Andy Reid was a favorite to go to the Cardinals... until he didn't. The media got completely blindsighted by LeBron going to Cali. Suh is supposedly in love with New York, and Peyton Manning was in love with SF.

I mean, doesn't it seem like the same people who insist that Harbaugh would never ever ever leave California seem convinced that the only other place he'd consider is Miami? The media can't seem to imagine why anybody would choose the midwest.

By the way... I do agree. I think his wife has sway and would want to stay in Cali. I also think Michigan is different because it's close to Harbaugh's family. For as much as people say his wife didn't want to leave Cali, there seem to be credible stories that she also would have considered going to Kansas City because that's close to her family.

Report: Harbaugh makes verbal agreement to come to Michigan

SAGINAW COUNTY, MI (WNEM) - Jim Harbaugh may be getting ready to become Michigan's head football coach.

Chatsports.com reports that two independent sources confirm he is set to announce he's taking the position Dec. 30. That is unless he backs out on the verbal agreement he reportedly has made with Michigan Athletic Director Jim Hackett.

The sports site reports Harbaugh's agent has been in contact with U of M since early November, telling Michigan Jim wants to return the football powerhouse back to its winning ways. There are also reports that more than 50 former Harbaugh teammates from Michigan have asked him to take the position.

Harbaugh, who is currently the coach of the 49ers, reportedly wouldn't make a move until after the season was over.

Earlier this week word of a possible deal between U of M and Harbaugh was widely circulated. Including the possibility of him earning $10 million a year with bonuses and incentives.

U of M's former head coach Brady Hoke was fired from his position earlier this month after four seasons.
Chatsports.com has broken several national sports stories in the past.

So much for the idea that his wife is stuck on Norcal. Looks like his wife is good to go. And we already knew his family would love it.
