ESPN: Jim Harbaugh the ideal NFL coach

Jim Harbaugh appears to have ruled out, for now and possibly for good, a return to the NFL.

Before Michigan’s appearance in the Outback Bowl, the third-year Wolverines coach was asked — yes, again — whether he’d ever go back to the professional ranks.

“That’s like warmed-up oatmeal,” he said in response to that question. “Not a big fan of warmed-up oatmeal.”

Still, that wasn’t enough to stop the speculation — or, maybe it’s the wishful thinking.

ESPN on Wednesday afternoon unveiled results of a poll, in which it asked its 45 “experts” who they’d hire for an NFL head-coaching position.
