If this is true, dude is a coward. He just said a few weeks ago we will not have to do this every offseason and he would be here until Michigan didn’t want him any more. Enough is enough

Reigniting Harbaugh’s NFL dreams
The rumors of Harbaugh moving to the NFL again have come before this year. A lot of NFL fans have speculated that the Michigan coach will be going to the Broncos. The news seemed a lot more believable after the Broncos had fired their head coach, Nathan Hackett. The news of Harbaugh leaving might be a lot more real than it’s been let on.
