The rumors are starting to become more real as the days go by that have Jim Harbaugh leaving the Michigan Wolverines and returning back to the National Football League.
According to a report from The Athletic, the University of Michigan believes that their head coach would take the head coaching job for the Las Vegas Raiders if it is offered to him.
“Multiple sources inside Michigan football told The Athletic this week that they think if Harbaugh is offered the Raiders head coaching job, he’d take it.
“They also know that Harbaugh can be hard to read. Their hunches could be wrong—but they also know he’s never coached anywhere longer than four years prior to his seven years and running in Ann Arbor. They’ve each believed that he, at some point, would want to coach in the NFL again.”
Rich Bisaccia has led the Raiders on an interim basis after ex-head coach Jon Gruden was forced to resign following the release of emails he sent that included racist, anti-gay and misogynistic comments.
Bisaccia guided the Raiders to a 7-5 regular-season finish, but would fall 26-19 to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Wild Card Round.
