The Michigan Insider’s Sam Webb joined CBS Sports HQ this morning to react to Jim’s Harbaugh’s latest flirtation with the NFL Host Brandon Baylor had three primary questions: 1.) How real is the threat of Harbaugh’s departure after interviews with the Los Angeles Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons? 2.) Does he require an “immunity clause” in his contract to remain at Michigan? And 3.)who will replace him in Ann Arbor if he goes to the league?
In the latest installments of “The 3R Report”, details of Harbaugh’s salary requirements and insight on the types of NFL front office scenarios he might find appealing were shared. Based on that and other intel, Webb assessed how concerned Michigan should be about losing its coach to the pros.
“I think this is a threat level greater than last season,” said Webb. “I think it’s on par with the Minnesota year. So, that was after the 2021 season. I think (Harbaugh) went to that interview with the thought that he was going to get the job. It wound up being an actual interview, and things fell apart for whatever reason. But I think at that point that he was really thinking that he was going to go. And I think that (his interest in returning to the NFL) is like that because he won a championship. He did everything that he said he was going to do (at Michigan), and he has a parallel dream of winning a Super Bowl.”
