It’s possible that Jim Harbaugh will not be joining the NFL.
Each of the previous several years, there have been rumors about Harbaugh making a comeback to the professional ranks. These rumors resurfaced as Michigan orchestrated a run to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Several NFL teams are reportedly gathering information on Harbaugh, who just recruited Don Yee, an agent who represents a number of well-known clients, including Tom Brady, according to an NFL Network article that aired over the weekend.
However, following the Wolverines’ thrilling victory against the Washington Huskies on Monday night in the championship game, Harbaugh seems ready to take it back and try to win the football championship for his alma institution the following season.
We’re rescheduling spring practice. We love football so much that we normally start on Valentine’s Day, which is February 14. We’re going to shift it back this year, Harbaugh said to ESPN’s “SportsCenter” host Scott Van Pelt. We’re planning to push it back by around a month. It will also be beneficial. Ann Arbor will get some pleasant springtime weather.
Obviously, those comments don’t imply that Harbaugh will come back to Michigan. The excitement of winning undoubtedly overcame the 60-year-old, and it’s likely that he hasn’t had much time lately to consider his future. In addition, Harbaugh might be interested in further NFL job openings that are expected to arise in the upcoming weeks.
However, Harbaugh is likely in line for greater success if he stays with the Wolverines. Michigan has the fifth-shortest odds to win the national championship the following season as of Tuesday morning at FanDuel Sportsbook.
