Harbaugh going to Michigan?
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12...sportscenterFB
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. |

Between salary + incentives + boosters... Michigan by a mile Best chance to win a championship... Michigan by a mile Ability to recruit top notch talent... Michigan by a mile Long-term stability... Michigan by a mile The only reason Harbaugh would accept the Raiders' offer is if his family was deadset on staying in California. There is no good reason otherwise. |

I doubt it would be a culture shock for a person who grew up and spent pretty much his entire career in the upper midwest.

This is the least shocking news ever. Not sure he'll take it. Mitch Holthus was openly talking on the radio about him to the Raiders a couple weeks ago. Said his wife wanted to stay in the Bay Area.

Well if he likes the cold, snowy shit that is Michigan good for him I guess. Most people would stay on the west coast for less money.

Or they might go somewhere where they have a better chance of winning, making more money, have more autonomy in decision-making, and have a shitload better job security

I'm referring to the supposed figure Oakland proposed to Gruden, not Harbaugh.

It would take you $50M ABOVE another contract to convince you to move to the midwest?
$50M is a bunch of money. In addition to walking into what most would view as a dream job. Even if the Raiders matched, it's a tough offer to beat. |
