Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines are less than two weeks away from a College Football Semifinal matchup against Alabama in the Rose Bowl.
However, a lot of the talk in Ann Arbor has been more about Harbaugh’s future with the Wolverines and whether he’ll make the transition back to the NFL after nine seasons with Michigan.
Harbaugh, 59, seemed to address these rumors in a roundabout way during a banquet Sunday night in which he addressed the team’s senior players.
“I just wanna say, I hope some of you are coming back next year,” Harbaugh said, via Derick Hutchinson of WDIV in Detroit.
It’s not a direct admission from Harbaugh that he’s planning on returning to Michigan for a 10th season. But it can definitely be interpreted that way.
Previous indications were that Harbaugh might make the jump back into the NFL after coaching the San Francisco 49ers to a tremendous amount of success from 2011-14. That’s especially true if Michigan wins the whole thing this season.
