He has probably reached his ceiling at Michigan.
Harbaugh contacted by Denver

He'd be stupid to leave there. Better off coaching where personalities can be better managed. He hasn't reached his peak at UM yet. He was just a few 5 star linemen and a touch better at QB from the championship game.
Denver has given Russell Wilson a huge contract and it’s only in year 1. They also traded some high draft picks to get him. They also play in Mahomes and now Justin Herbert division
That Denver job is going to be hard to win at for a few years imo…..if I had a good gig I’d not leave it for Denver today.
Now maybe in 3-4 years would be a different story

NFL job even a bad one is better than most every College job. He almost left last season for Minnesota I’d be shocked if he doesn’t leave Michigan for Denver or somewhere else this one. He isn’t making $$$$ like Stoops.
LOL…. Maybe my sarcasm detector isn’t working but there’s no way Jeff Saturday will be the Colts HC next year. Irsay probably needs to can GM Chris Ballard at the end of the season as well.
I think Harbaugh stays at UM… but we’ll see.
Denver job right now is not attractive. As K-Time stated, traded away a bunch of draft picks, including 2 first rounders to obtain Wilson. Then gave him the huge contract that will cripple the franchise for several years, especially when their good, core players come up for new contracts. Paying Wilson $50M per year is insane but they're stuck with him for at least another couple of years as the cap hit to ditch him would be enormous.
If Harbaugh wants to return to the NFL, there are better jobs than Denver.

If he was going to head to the NFL, then Indianapolis would be a much better offer. Add in the fact that he played for the Colts and was probably their biggest folk hero before Manning and it would make a lot of sense. It would be kind to call Denver's situation a dumpster fire. Their interim head coach already turned down an offer to become the permanent head coach. It will be a failed HC retread or some desperate assistant coach trying to take their shot that ends up there.
Carolina Panther bound, according to this report:

Only downhill for him going forward. 2 straight wins over Ohio & 2 B1g T3n titles. But can't break through in CFB playoff.
Take the achievements and go out a legend

Coached in the NFL for four seasons. Went to the NFC Championship three times and one Super Bowl (would've been two if SF doesn't fumble a punt return against the Giants in the NFC title game). He should have his pick of where he wants to go.
Can't believe he's already been at Michigan for eight seasons. I think the only job that will likely be open and somewhat appealing is Arizona.

Maybe he doesn't want to deal with the NIL nonsense anymore. I don't think I would want to coach college with the landscape of recruiting now. Jay Wright probably left his basketball team because of it and he was very successful.
Certainly an option
Pretty damn close to the title game. Few calls here or there really. Not that I was disappointed in the outcome
Much lower expectations at UM compared to the NFL and I don't think his approach works as well with pro athletes as it does with semi-pro collegiate athletes

Irsay is a different (friendly tho) bird. I used to see him from time to time at a gym when I lived in Indy. That gym had a full service restaurant. He came in one evening wearing a bathrobe. The wait staff loved him of course because he threw out $100’s like I would .50 cents.
He's a dk. Van be as friendly as you want to wait staff and such, as it makes you look good. He's a turdball tho.
