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. |

The only reason that coaches go back to college if they can't hack it in the NFL. NFL is the pinnacle of the sport of football. I wouldn't want to be on the 2cd tier of the sport that I loved if I didn't have to.

If you can get $49M in Cali or $50M in Michigan what you going to choose? Where did I say he shouldn't consider it? If that is all he can get or that is the best offer by a wide margin that changes things.

It isn't just about the money, it's also bout the working atmosphere. If my choices are confined to Oakland or Michigan, weather is about #99 on a list of 100 things I'm going to think about. Did I like coaching NCAA better? Oakland isn't a stable place to be, and the team isn't stacked like the 49ers were. So no, I don't think almighty Cali would be of the importance you think it is.

His wife loves Cali and wouldn't want to leave? Harbaugh's from Toledo. She's from Missouri. Harbaugh can go to the NFL anytime he wants. Just like Saban can. Very possible he won't have a shot at Michigan anytime soon if he doesn't take the job. |

Factor in at what rate he'd have to pay taxes and Michigan is a no brainer.

In a few weeks they'll be talking about the hottest young coordinator. By the time the playoffs are halfway done they'll hire some asshole who nobody gives a shit about because everyone else was like "**** that!". ![]() |

So basically an extra 400k per year or 2.4 mil total (if my math works out) if he goes to Michigan. (and of course this is based on having an offer of $8.17 mil per year in Cali... which he does not. I think Reid and Belichick have the highest at $7.5 mil/year)) I'm not sure money will be much of an issue in this. If it is than Michigan should win. |

This would be great for him, Michigan and the NFC west - no draft picks for S.F.

My reading of the piece is that it is still a long shot that he winds up at Michigan.
