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. |

He ended up taking just over 5 per to coach SF. I'd personally be surprised if the rumors are true... |

I'm not reading it that way. I'm reading it as... Jim harbaugh is still coaching the 49ers. As long as he is coaching them, it's bad form to say he's looking for other jobs while the season is going on. I think he's playing the game of letting people know he's in the market even though he can't actually say he's on the market.

I do think he'd be perfectly willing to use Michigan's offer as leverage in NFL negotiations and even suggested that in my thread last night, however. |

The weather isn't the only thing. Michigan is like the colon of mid-America with Detroit being the sphincter. I hate that state is just sucks all the way around.

I agree that the weather sucks in the winter (which lasts 6 months). |

For only 1 week. I spent months working around Detroit.

I still think his wife wanting to stay in nocal is a factor. We'll see.
Although frankly I wouldn't take the Raiders job under any circumstances. |

Why is no one talking about Miami? If anybody is going to go nuts and offer him crazy money it will be Ross (U-M grad). If he stays in the NFl and leaves SanFran then my bet is on the Fins.

If I'm making 50 million and I live in Michigan I'm going to have a driver...so who cares about weather.

You're being ridiculous. I spent a couple of weeks in Long Beach last year. California must be a complete shithole.

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 is one of the dirtiest states in the nation. Detroit is so bad that the city cut services to a big area.
