He'll see it as a lateral move and take the same pay he's making now.

Since he didn't jump at it......
@BruceFeldmanCFB: I was told by sources the reports on the $8M per offer by #Michigan to Jim Harbaugh are not accurate.

@BenVolin: Harbaugh's agent, David Dunn, has a history of embellishing offers via the media. Remember when #Dolphins "offered" Harbaugh $7m a year?

They're not going with Mullen. They already tried the spread experiment with Rich Rod and that blew up. Mullen has the same chance of being head coach at Michigan as me. It's not happening.

Are you serious? Harbaugh would make Meyer his beatch. Harbaugh is one hyper competitive guy. He had no problem facing Pete Carroll every year when USC was on top. Playing Meyer would be much easier than that. I don't know if he will go to Michigan or not but that would be a great hire for them. I wish we could have landed him but that was highly unlikely to happen from the start.

I think harbaugh is a bit overrated and I don't get why some of you guys swing from his nuts so bad. He was 29-21 at Stanford. He inherited a team with possibly the best defense in the nfl with the 49ers now that those guys are getting old he's getting run out of town. I'm not saying he's a bad coach by any means but for an offensive coach you don't see alot of fireworks with his offense. I just don't understand why you guys think he would make Nick saban and urban Meyer his bitch?

No kidding. Is he a good coach? Of course. But at Stanford he went:
2007: 4-8
2008: 5-7
2009: 8-5
2010: 12-1
Those numbers are Muschampesque. He is certainly better than Muschamp but I highly doubt he'll be making Meyer his bitch.

ESPN is reporting that he's considering the offer and is torn on what to do. Says his friends and family are pushing him to take the Michigan job, but he wants to see what NFL jobs come available. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

So, he's angling for a better NFL job or more money. I wonder how long Meatchicken will allow this to continue.

Well, we know if he wants the Raiders job, it's his - for huge money. He wouldn't even have to move. He's never coached anywhere but California. In the meantime, Michigan's recruiting continues to suffer and it's REALLY going to suck when they have to throw together a staff at the last minute after Harbaugh says no. They are going to overpay somebody big time.

Well I do understand that some players don't like his college type of attitude in coaching. I don't understand ti because it would seem much easier to deal with professionals than folks who are 18.

I recall many on this site claiming that we needed to pay up to $8MM to get our top targets (believed to be Kelly and Harbaugh at the time). I would love Harbaugh to Michigan. It would be great for college football. We might actually see Urban get punched in the face :).....well not really. The recruiting angle is a tougher nut to crack. Michigan St and OSU can still recruit talent. I'd see Michigan with Harbaugh as a National Recruiting school. With his ties, I'd see California as a favored target. I think he'd be pretty successful there, and the timing is perfect. They would hire an AD to fit Harbaugh, since he'd be there first.

The $8m per year is said to be false, but I haven't seen anything else on it. That said, I think it would be terrible for college football. Teams would be forced to pay similar salaries to hire/retain top coaches and so many are already operating in the red.

Stanford went 16-40 in the 5 seasons prior and 1-11 the season immediately prior to Harbaugh arriving. In 4 seasons he almost doubled the win total if the previous 5 seasons combined. In his fourth year they finished 12-1 and top 5 in the country. As far as offensive fireworks, you must not have watched much Stanford football while he was there. Stanford mauled opponents. These guys were balanced. They were physical, ran effectively, passed the ball and routinely put up 40 plus on their opponents. As a matter of fact, in 2010 they scored 31 points or more in 12 of the 13 games they played. They were a fun team to watch.
