[Nick Baumgardner] Miami (Dolphins) could be a Harbaugh landing spot.
Per Nick Baumgardner:
Have heard similar — Miami could be a Harbaugh landing spot. If in fact he gets an offer. He’s clearly interested in NFL reentry, as we’ve written for a while now — and we’ll see what comes/what he does. https://t.co/TeA9ruN9cr

Hearing from a reliable source Jim Harbaugh will tell the team today / tomorrow he is leaving to be the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Could have taken the Minnesota job. Preferred Miami. ( outside chance Michigan pays over the top and he stays ) but bet on Miami.

and Armando Salguero (Miami sports beatwriter):
Had plugged in (former) #Dolphins employee who retains connections to the team tell me last nite he expects Steve Ross will do what he can to hire Jim Harbaugh if the Michigan coach is indeed considering leaving Michigan for NFL. We'll see.

It would seem to be a complete-180 for Miami Dolphins's owner, and Michigan alum, Stephen M. Ross's previous statement of not hiring Harbaugh away from Michigan. I guess if Harbaugh is dead-set on leaving for the NFL, Ross feels that he might as well throw his team's hat into the ring as well.

I'm very convinced that he prefers the NFL to Michigan and I still think the info here still reeks of bullshit. He's going to tell the team TODAY that he's leaving for job he's not yet interviewed for? Sure, Ross knows him already, but there is a GM and whole admin staff that he has to work with too.

There's been a lot of reporting about the dysfunctional way Ross runs his franchise. This would not be out of character for the way they do business.

If he doesn't leave, it's because nobody offered him a job not because he wants to stay. The marriage is over, dad sleeps in the guest house now.

I just dont get it.....If Jim is unhappy being at Michigan, then he should go. Its gone from Raider-Bears-Vikings and now Miami. This is by far the strangest offseason I can remember, especially since we just came off going to the CFP. I like Harbaugh, however, Michigan/the players dont need this hanging over their head every season from here on out. If he comes back, are we going to have to do this every year? Thats going to be a huge distraction on the recruiting end. Firm handshake Harbaugh, give the team to Gattis, and lets do this.
January 31st, 2022 at 11:29 AM ^
What makes some here think Gattis is WAF as a head coach? Prior to 2021 he was ....??
January 31st, 2022 at 12:02 PM ^
I think Gattis is a star that has been rising for awhile. Co Offensive Coordinator at Bama, to doing it here for a few years. I think he has not only the skill level but the recruiting chops to get the right players in.

Jim should just wait until the Lions job opens up in a year or two. No need to move the family and he can become a hero by turning around our godforsaken Lions.
