Once again Harbaugh outwits and confounds his rivals.  

They try to drum up these rumors to use as negative recruiting ammunition, but in the end, all it does is show how coveted our coach is, and what a good idea it is to play for him.

Probable. His feminine flop after the call was embarrassing for him. Plus his heart condition may act up if the Ohio booster $ don't cover treatment...but $ fix everything in Ohio.

Just posted on the Freep:

"I'm not leaving Michigan," Harbaugh said near the end of Tuesday's U-M football bust at Livonia's Laurel Manor. "Not even considering it. A lot of this talk is coming from our enemies, from coaches, you know the names. You probably know the names of the top three I'm referring to. They like to say that to the media. They like to tell that to the recruits, to their families, try to manipulate them into going to some other school besides Michigan.
"We know them as jive turkeys. Say it like it is. that's the way it is."

I love our coach

I'm not ruling out him going back eventually. I wouldn't be surprised if he still has that itch to go win a Super Bowl. Getting so close and losing (to your own brother, no less) does have to nag at him for time to time.

But at the same time, I think he's on a personal mission to get Michigan back to elite status. To get up and leave now, before he's really even won anything, would just not be the right way to go out. If he goes back after a dominant season where he topples OSU and wins the program a title, I think he'll have earned the right to head back to the NFL and get zero gripe from Michigan fans about it. But he doesn't strike me as a guy who would leave this place before putting the program back on top.

Some keep talking about the prestige of winning the Super Bowl, but trends seem pretty consistent that NFL popularity is dropping while NCAA popularity keeps rising.  And the likelihood of the CFP expanding and hence getting more preeminent seems large.

So is it possible that winning the CFP will soon be (is) MORE prestigious than winning the Super Bowl?

I'm just not buying the Mount Everest reasoning that JH will EVENTUALLY leave Michigan for the NFL to "conquer" the Super Bowl when earning a CFP dynasty is now a possibiltiy.

He whole life prepared him for this. He idolizes Bo, and he will not leave until he achieves results that both Bo and his father Jack will be proud of. The End.

Harbaugh is gonna go to the NFL every year until he doesn't. We should probably just be flattered at this point that they want to poach him; it ain't happening.
