It’s that time of year.
Actually, it doesn’t matter what time of the year it is. Rumors of Jim Harbaugh leaving Michigan for the NFL have surfaced once again. This isn’t new.
Could he leave for the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers? There is a real head coaching vacancy there. But, what about the other jobs in the NFL that will inevitably become open? What will it take for Harbaugh to leave Ann Arbor?
Would he ever leave? These are the questions we always hear being asked.
On Thursday, FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd presented 3 reasons as to why Harbaugh would leave and 3 reasons as to why he would stay at Michigan. At the end, he gives his thought as to what will exactly happen:
"I think Jim Harbaugh is leaving Michigan, but I don't think he's doing it this year… I don't think these jobs are good enough." — @ColinCowherd pic.twitter.com/zk8XmQKc8c

Cowherd’s first take as to why Harbaugh would leave Michigan will surely fire Wolverine fans up. However, in the end, the talk show host believes he will stay — at least for the time being.
Cowherd thinks Harbaugh has roughly another 20 years of coaching left in him, so eventually, he will leave to try something new. When or will that happen?
Only time will tell.
