There will ALWAYS be "Jim Harbaugh to the NFL" stuff out there. It may have been the CBS Sports article but one even went so far as to say his Michigan career hasn't been as good as hoped.. seriously? If he doesn't go undefeated and win titles every year it's a disappointment?
But hey, look at it this way.. no NFL team is knocking down the door for Urban Meyer. We have a great coach who is highly coveted by basically every NFL team and will continue to be forever.

"I hate this article so much I'm going to call attention to it and make sure it gets lots of page views. That'll show 'em."

The Bears aren't even the right test. For those who actually believe he's destined to return to the NFL, they need a proof of concept test, and that's the Colts. Indianapolis is one of very few teams that Harbaugh has nostalgia for (given his playing days). It also has Andrew Luck and, in theory, a management office willing to give Harbaugh an uncountably long leash.
Michigan fans should want the Colts to make an offer after this year. If that happens and Harbaugh turns them down, the odds of him returning to the NFL bottom out near zero and that will finally become apparent to outsiders as well.
I can't say that realization would necessarily help with recruiting, but it certainly couldn't hurt.

Especially given the fact that to be hired in the NFL is to be eventually fired. Harbaugh knows that dynamic personally. He can retire at Michigan as a legend.

They'd be stupid to keep Fox past this year

There is arguably more BS to deal with in the NFL than there is in college. In the NFL, you’re dealing with the scouts, the execs, the GM, whatever is the punishment du jour from Goodell, and the players union. In Ann Arbor, Harbaugh rules this team, more or less, with absolute authority. What he says goes, and the boosters know they can’t get anyone better than him.
November 12th, 2017 at 4:02 PM ^
That is absolutely correct. The BS I was talking about are from the recruiting and player perspective. Not having a QB, oline, or kicker are routine college issues.

I mean, I think this is real. I think anyone picturing Jim "Silver Fox" Harbaugh sitting on the Michigan sidelines in 2033 is probably lying to themselves about how long he is going to stick here, I think as soon as we either win a national title or are contending every year he will go back to the NFL and seek out the Super Bowl ring again.
I've always maintained 7-10 years of Harbaugh would be a win.

Stop giving this stupidity attention!
He's living right near his childhood home and parent's home. His kids are going to the schools he went to. He's building up a program he has been connected to his entire life.
He's not leaving unless we push him out ourselves, so let's not be stupid and take him for granted, and then we'll be good.
Oh, and also...
he has actually SAID that he isn't going to the NFL.

But, I thought Oakland was still in play?!?!

Going to be more and more of this given the prediction of the Astros winning this year.

Awesome!!!
