So what options are there for him?

Jacksonville? Only one open
Chicago?
Carolina?
Seattle?
With rumors of Pete Carroll looking to get out of Seattle, the Northwest makes the most sense for Harbaugh. A very competitive team in need of a moderate rebuild. Still, I think the Michigan donors pony up enough green to keep him in Ann Arbor for at least two more years.

Exactly right. And don't be surprised to see a few CF coached with NFL experience head back to the NFL'

Don't know how reliable it is, but another site said that it's rumored that Texas A&M (donors) has spent somewhere between $20 and 25 million for their #1, all- time greatest 2022 class. Even other schools in the SEC are complaining. If this is true, CF will be ruined in 5 years if not sooner
+1. I'm going sooner.
I never liked Jimbo so it will fun watching their million dollar team flame out.

I bet you a beer he ends up in Chicago. But I think Harbaugh is done at Michigan. 58 years old....the NFL is the pinnacle of coaching. He won the Big Ten and finally beat OSU. I think, that he thinks, it is easier to win a SB than a NC. JMO....but I think he is gone. But, Black Monday is coming, so we will know soon.

I too believe that winning a Super Bowl is easier than winning a National Championship. Teams are much more evenly matched. The salary cap keeps a competitive balance throughout the league. In college, there is no balance. it is more about bending the rules, spending a tsunami of money and doing what it takes to land that very special athlete. This is why you see the same teams over and over again make the playoffs and the National Championship. Yes, he will most likely end up in Chicago, but if Carroll leaves Seattle they are also in play.

If you’re the Chicago owner, then do you trust Harbs with your young franchise QB? I don’t. I could see Seattle or a team with a veteran QB looking at Harbs.

Harbaugh did a pretty good job with that Kaepernick dude. I think the Bears would kill to have him....And is Seattle really gonna can Pete? Or is he going to retire?

Kaepernick flamed out spectacularly under Harbs. It was one of the reasons SF canned Harbs. Colin had no real skills and once defenses adjusted to his running, Harbs had no offensive identity to fall back on.

Really? Who was the Niner coach before Harbaugh? Who was the QB that got SF to the Super Bowl? Getting old my man, can’t remember that far back!

I believe he meant Jim Caldwell, whom I posted was interviewing for the Jax position.

I thought he meant LionJim, who has heretofore untapped mathematical strategies.

Harbs replaced Mike Singletary and inherited a helluva defense and Amex Smith at QB. They also had a good OL and running game (Frank Gore?). As I recall, Smith got hurt (?) and Kap offered a total change of pace. The offense was successful for a season or two before defenses adjusted and Kap couldn’t.

That coincided with the beginning of the end. Harbs being a goofball and not being liked within the org sealed it.

Harbs is a good coach. I wouldn’t call him a QB developer.

Maybe college football needs a salary cap? 🙄

Meh. There will always be desperate owners out there, but Jimmy’s second stint in CFB wasn’t Pete Carroll at USC. I’m calling bs on this one…at least this off-season.

Harbaugh couldn't possibly be trying to get a pay raise could he??? Took a paycut after last season. Wins the Big2 title and finally beats OSU. What a perfect time to try and start some rumor to get a pay raise...if Bears don't have an opening on Monday, i am thinking this is what he is doing. JMO of course...

I expect that Rhule would play the role of saboteur at michigan.
No comment...Michigan is the second best coaching gig in he BIG
THE WORST that can happen, we'll lock on the #3 spot in the east yearly, if we can beat MSU.
