Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh may have his eyes on replacing Adam Gase on the New York Jets.AP

By Mike Rosenstein | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Here we go again.
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh might be ready to take a ride on the NFL head coaching carousel following the New York Jets’ decision Sunday to fire Adam Gase. Or Harbaugh might just use the Jets’ opening as leverage for a contract extension with the Wolverines. Per The Athletic:
There is optimism inside Michigan football that a new deal with coach Jim Harbaugh will get wrapped up soon and the contract would be an extension through the 2026 season, a person with knowledge of the matter told The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman. … Harbaugh and Michigan brass are looking forward to his staying on leading the program. Harbaugh and the Wolverines have come through with a strong recruiting class this cycle (ranked No. 14 by 247Sports) in spite of all of the rumors swirling about his future there.

In addition, the Detroit Free Press reports “that decision could come as soon as Monday or be stretched out, but the university expects a decision this week. A multi-year contract extension has been offered to Harbaugh, but as of Saturday evening, no extension has been signed, sources close to the situation told the Free Press. The deal, which was initially offered as a three-year extension, would kick in on Jan. 11. That’s the day each year of Harbaugh’s contract has started since he was hired in 2014. … Harbaugh hasn’t signed it yet because he’s waiting to see if any NFL teams have interest in him as a head coach. … Harbaugh is said to have interest in the New York Jets. ... Harbaugh is also said to be interested in the Los Angeles Chargers job, should it come open.”

However NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report Harbaugh is one of several college coaches who will be considered by the Jets.

Among the candidates who are slated to be considered are Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale, Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley to college coaches such as Iowa State’s Matt Campbell, Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh and Florida’s Dan Mullen to everyone in between.

Before returning to his alma mater as Michigan head coach, Harbaugh was with the San Francisco 49ers for four seasons, going 44-19 and leading them to Super Bowl XLVII, which he lost to his brother, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.
Jim Harbaugh also played 14 years in the NFL from 1987 to 2000. The quarterback had stints with the Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Ravens and San Diego Chargers.

fixed for your eyes.....

I feel that Harbaugh would take the LA job over us. Think it's a better situation.

Harbaugh brings credibility. A rookie HC just puts us back in the familiar position of “let’s see what happens”. I think the credibility factor is huge here, and shouldn’t be dismissed.

I thought I read somewhere that he signed an extension at Michigan. Was that not true?

Article says he may use Jets as leverage for Michigan contract extension. No more of that crap, determine if it looks like that is the case and do not get caught up in it. It is called reading people and at one point with enough exp. anybody should be able to do it, unless guys like JD were born last Wed.

[Sonny Werblin]

A friend who is a Michigan graduate and follows the program closely is convinced that if the Jets make an offer, Harbaugh will take it. His feeling is that as much as Harbaugh wants to win at Michigan, he is tiring of all of the politics involved at coaching at a place like Michigan; if Harbaugh wanted to stay, he would have signed the extension already; and that Harbaugh is using the Michigan offer to set his value higher in terms of years and annual pay for the NFL job he desires.

Not factual. But, it is interesting to hear what someone who follows the program closely thinks.

I also do not like Harbaugh; and to be honest, I will have trouble rooting for any team he coaches - I also don't know if he is the right fit - that being said, he his head and shoulders above most of the people being talked about. I am also split on having yet another rookie HC - it works sometimes, but haven't we had enough of that. Of course, re-treads haven't really worked for us either - LOL...

surprised you are still posting so soon

Just not HCs out there with a lot of exp. that have winning records other than the ones coaching teams like John Harbaugh, Reid, Tomilson, Payton, etc. whose teams won't let them go till they retire. We have to find one from college or a coordinator that becomes a very good HC.

I personally love it when I need a magnifying glass to read stuff. Its da best!

 

[Barkus]

I’m good with Harbaugh. He is a culture builder and proven winner. He made it to Super Bowls and championship games with Alex smith and kaperdoofus. Draft fields, pair with him Harbaugh and LFG! 

He is no Parcells but may be the closest thing out there I think. It would similar to parcells replacing Kotite.

[pointman]

Harbaugh is whoring us out to get leverage. Thats it. That dude is going to stay at Michigan until they kick him out. 

[Beaver]

If he hasn't signed the extension yet, then this smells of Agent talk to get a better contract or better extension.   This goes on all the time during coaching searches especially from the College ranks.    

[Thai Jet]

Seriously , my thoughts are that the dick Harbaugh didn't like the extension that Michigan offered and is leveraging the Jets to get a better deal. Shades of that other dick Kirk Cousins.

If he can work with JD and the Johnson's open up the checkbook, then it wouldn't be a bad choice. Probably just leveraging the opportunity for more money from UMich though

Very possible.

[Jethead]

No way Harbaugh will ever play 2nd fiddle to JD or even consider himself a peer. JD would be crazy to fall into this trap. If it's Harbaugh it's because the Woodman said "make it so" and our long walk in the wilderness will continue.

I don't think Harbaugh has a problem working under a GM he respects. It's when he doesn't think the guy knows what he is doing where the problem arises. The fact that Trent Balke was the GM in San Francisco and that after Harbaugh and the Niners issued their mutual parting of the ways press release most of Harbaughs assistants left too, speaks volumes as to where the real problem was in Frisco. I guarantee Jed York feels he made a mistake siding with Balke. BTW how did Balke do in his next GM job? Wasn't he hired by the Jags about 11 months ago?

probably why chargers just fired Lynn. Harbaugh getting close in talks with Jets but Chargers has been his 1st choice, Jets 2nd. Up to Douglas to close deal woith more money I guess Aand allowing Harbaugh HIGE input to what QB drAFTED

I'm as anti-Harbaugh as it gets and I'll take him over any of the Mr. Irrelevant's on our shortlist.

SAR I

you were pro gase but anti Harbaugh? How does that make any sense. Also I hoep you are ok during this post Gase phase of the NY jets, i know you really had high hopes for him. But hopefully soon with the next coaching staff we will all be enjoying wining seasons. 

SF def coordinator might be someonw you like.

I feel like Harbaugh would be ok with JD if there is clear power stucture. I think Harbaugh would respect JD and his football backround more than he did with Balke. and also JD would not and has not shown any Balke liek tendencies. Harbaugh would be very happy with the drafts and probably give input that JD would probabaly listen too. 

WOudnt be first time he takes the QB he has to build a winner.

[varjet]

To me, Harbaugh is the only guaranteed upgrade from Gase.

I forget there was a rumored rift with the GM in San Fran when he was there.  JD would have to feel pretty secure with his job/ power to look into Harbaugh.

It's going to be fascinating to see how this unfolds. Douglas is casting a wide net but Harbaugh has a lot of fans within the Jets organization

He’s going to get paid more and Michigan than he would in Ny. Doesn’t need to use it as leverage.

Maybe not.

The rumor I had heard was that Michigan wanted Harbaugh to extend -- at a lower base cost with more money in incentives. He might not like that.

Major problem just arose. Those close to Harbaugh a week ago said he had interest in 2 jobs,,Jets and Chargers. Chargers JUST fired Lynn. TYPICAL SOJ LUCK

Lynn just fired. I now fear he take Hebert and California over Jets.

ONLY way we win is Joe Douglas reputation he has heard thru his Ravens brother and probably more money and major input on who Jets select at #2

agree,,I think if we struck a week or two ago we have him, but Chargers just fired Lynn and Jets and Chargers were the 2 teams he told friends he would go back to NFL for. Douglas has to sell the Jet job as Harbaugh will have best GM in NFL if he comes to Jets

[SOJ]

Let him stay where he is ...no thanks.
