Bleacher Report: Sources: Jim Harbaugh Expected to Take Michigan Job

Submitted by MGoVictory on

More of IT"S HAPPENING. The sources for this are from the NFL side though, including two members of the 49ers staff.

Two members of the San Francisco 49ers staff and a third NFL source said Saturday they expect 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh to accept a six-year, $48 million contract to become the head coach of the University of Michigan.
"That's what everybody on staff believes is going to happen this week," one of the sources said. "Jim has figured out that his style is best-suited for the college game. His shtick works better with young guys who are gone after three or four years."

Also contains some interesting information about possible assistants.

In addition, he is expected to bring several coaches from the 49ers with him, including longtime assistants Reggie Davis and John Morton, according to sources.

I work with a girl whose Mom works in the Michigan AD. She just sent me a message that it's happening. Not really going out on a limb now but it does make me feel a little bit better. Yeah I know, cool story bro.
