This rumor about Harbaugh has me worried...

[belcherboy]

I haven't taken any rumor about "Harbaugh to the NFL" seriously over the past few years, but this one actually has me a little worried. It makes sense, and would be an AMAZING opportunity for Harbaugh if he still has NFL ambitions. I think if Harbaugh were able to beat Ohio State and/or win the B10 this year (that is a BIG if), than I don't see what would hold him back from jumping to the NFL again...especially if the Colts gave him TOTAL control.

Although, Colin did say about 4 years ago that Harbaugh wouldn't go back to college...so maybe he is wrong here. From the perspective of power, and if Luck is not permanently injured, Harbaugh could return to Indy and possibly have an amazing situation. I mean, if they sit Luck all year, they are likely to only win a few games at best. They could have the top pick (or at least a top 3 pick), and be returning one of the best QB's in the league in his prime.

I hope it doesn't happen, but I must say I'm a little worried at the idea of it now.

I wouldn't take anything said on FS1 seriously, they employ Clay Travis and Skip Bayless.

I think if he were able to beat OSU and/or win the B10 this year, that would likely satisfy him (winning the B10 would likely make them a playoff team). I mean, there would be nothing to complain about as a Michigan fan (although many would complain). He has made a HUGE difference in the program since coming here, and if he left, the next coach would have 17 returning starters next year.

The questions are, 1) will he beat OSU this year? 2) will he get them the CCG?, and 3) will he win the B10 and be a playoff team?

So far, I'm not real confident in saying "yes" to any of those questions above (although I feel much better about the first question now).

The NFL doesn't give a crap about good coaching. How else can you explain Jay Gruden?

I get the Skip Bayless deal, but what's the beef with Travis?

you got NFL Network? You're allowed to watch other teams.

Short term Harbaugh is the same as Urban Meyer faking another health issue and leaving Ohio State for Notre Dame.

It's going to happen sooner than later.

#amirite or what

When you win nearly 70% of your games as an NFL coach over a 4 year period, and the team you coached to the Superbowl, tanks the year after you leave, then you probably will get some attention from NFL teams.

It doesn't matter to NFL teams if all you can do is win 10 games a year in a Power 5 conference. They care more about the guy who already has an impressive resume in the NFL.

I'm not sure if you're serious, or being sarcastic?
