Jim Harbaugh to the NFL reportedly 'a done deal' if offered a job

Jim Harbaugh returning to the NFL is a non-stop rumor with the head coach regularly linked to vacancies in the league.

Following the 2022 season, Harbaugh even interviewed with the Minnesota Vikings but eventually returned to the Wolverines. Now, after back-to-back B1G titles, Harbaugh is once again a hot name around NFL circles.

This time around, the chatter surrounding Harbaugh is especially loud. According to The Athletic, one source has said Harbaugh leaving Ann Arbor for the NFL “is a done deal if he gets an offer.”

Jim Harbaugh will leave Michigan for the NFL if the opportunity presents itself, multiple sources tell @BruceFeldmanCFB, @NicoleAuerbach, and @ByAustinMeek.

During Monday’s broadcast of College GameDay, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Harbaugh is expected to be a target for the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos with a possibility for the Carolina Panthers to be interested. Desmond Howard tried to shoot down those rumors, saying he’s “heard nothing about Harbaugh wanting to leave Ann Arbor.”

We’ll see what the future holds, but the NFL appears to remain seriously interested in Harbaugh.
