Where'd you see that? Seems the most credible info on the whole situation right now is Harbaugh interested in NFL, Raiders seem to be the team he's talking to, UM has offered some sort of deal, Harbaugh may or may not have stopped speaking to UM since the deal was offered.
Wish people would leave links to their sources with info like this

Do you have an ON3 account? Go to the "Fort" message board and click on Balas profile and look at his latest posts. It was posted like 45 minutes ago.
January 7th, 2022 at 5:19 PM ^
No, I don't have any accounts on those insider sites (I just wait til somebody reposts the info here lol).
Was his tone hopeful or more just like "dear God I hope a deal happens because right now it sounds dire" kinda thing?
January 7th, 2022 at 5:23 PM ^
Good news is Balas just posted like 5 min ago that he got a good update on the situation. He feels a lot better now about it.
The updates are changing every 30 minutes. His praying must of worked. lol
January 7th, 2022 at 5:32 PM ^
lol I've only been scanning for Harbaugh news for like, an hour, and I'm already exhausted by all the back-and-forth.
I'm just gonna assume this is a sure sign he's staying and bury my head in the sand for the next few days or weeks
January 7th, 2022 at 5:45 PM ^
Dude...you are killing me. I mean that in a way of "im on the edge of my damn seat, literally"
January 7th, 2022 at 6:45 PM ^
Ok, so now what is being said?
January 7th, 2022 at 6:54 PM ^
Balas feels confident. Sam Webb hasn't posted since yesterday.
This was just tweeted by Michigan Football. What does it mean?
January 7th, 2022 at 7:34 PM ^
Well I see three stars... it's the return of the Three Star Mafia.

Raiders Reporter for Chat sports:

Just heard from a reliable source that Jim Harbaugh didn’t show up to a meeting to discuss his future contract with Michigan. Also heard the Raiders have their eyes heavily on 1 candidate. All I’m saying is don’t be surprised if Harbaugh is the Raiders HC
January 7th, 2022 at 4:57 PM ^
Chat sports is kind of a no-no round these parts
January 7th, 2022 at 5:28 PM ^
Remember how much Harbaugh hated coaching for a jerkweed like Jed York? I find it hard to believe he would ever want to coach for another jerkweed like Mark Davis. Also, would a devout Catholic want his children to grow up in Sin City? Also also, Harbaugh doesn’t strike me as a guy who would just blow off a meeting.
January 8th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
Yeah I don’t think there’s a town in the USA where Harbaugh fits in worse than Vegas.
January 7th, 2022 at 5:19 PM ^
What about the Rooney Rule? Wouldn't that make the concept that the Raiders are deep in contract negotiations with JH impossible?
Or do NFL teams just ignore the Rooney Rule these days?
January 7th, 2022 at 5:35 PM ^
Oakland has probably been interviewing people for weeks.
January 7th, 2022 at 5:42 PM ^
Well...some of that inevitably leaks out, if true.
Don't follow the Raiders, so I don't know if they have been actually interviewing others...
January 7th, 2022 at 5:31 PM ^
I hope he stays. I have been believer and want to see him take us to the next level and become a legend here. That being said, I would understand if he left and frankly how must the fan base treated him prior to this season I am not sure we deserve him.
January 7th, 2022 at 6:10 PM ^
He had a losing record against rivals he out-recruited, zero wins against OSU when teams like purdue had beaten them, hadnt finished better than 3rd in a mid tier conference, recruiting was on a clear downward trend with multiple underwhelming classes in a row, and he had clear issues with a system that wasnt (in the moment) getting fixed.
5 million a year and he essentially had failed at pretty much every goal Michigan had.
January 7th, 2022 at 6:28 PM ^
He took over Michigan coming off one of its worst streaks ever and had to overcome peak MSU and OSU programs. He almost immediately got us contending for a position in the playoffs and sans 2020 had the same record as Notre Dame during the same stretch. He constantly has adapted, evolved, and improved.
January 7th, 2022 at 5:35 PM ^
Twitter sucks
January 7th, 2022 at 5:56 PM ^
The reporter may have deleted the tweet but I get the impression that the smoke is real. I know G. Henson gets a fair amount of hate around here but he seems to have a couple of placed sources that have had some insight into the happenings of Jim Harbaugh in the past. He says that JH has reached out to NFL teams and could very well bolt if the university is unwilling to get behind an NIL program.
Harbaugh is the bulwark against CFB death for Michigan, this simply has to get done and Harbaugh will never have more leverage to get a coherent NIL program for The University of Michigan.
Here is a link to his latest post. It's worth a read.
January 7th, 2022 at 6:17 PM ^
People get defensive when politics are brought up but honestly much of what he writes is what people here say they don’t like his snide remarks he throws in about “the left” and frankly it doesn’t even fit at times it’s like he feels the need to throw in random political jabs.
BUT…the essence of what he is usually saying isn’t far off what most here also believe.
he’s also way, way off on a lot of stuff.
January 7th, 2022 at 6:33 PM ^
Too many "G's" in his first name to be credible.
Also, Amber Theoharis has too many syllables in her last name for how many letters there are.
I'm gonna need better sources than these before I get worried.
January 7th, 2022 at 7:10 PM ^
Why didn’t you just search Chat Sports for dummies, featuring G. Henson? Yeah Coach Harbaugh has told them without an agent!!! Listen carefully,”Harbaugh doesn’t have an agent so why would he contact any of these idiots first?” Next.
January 8th, 2022 at 12:46 PM ^
Harbaugh didn’t tell him that, but isn’t it possible he told Warde that, other people in the Athletic Dept know, and someone is leaking it?
January 7th, 2022 at 7:36 PM ^
You better take that down, they might ban you...
