It’s well documented at this point that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh interviewed with the Minnesota Vikings earlier this month. Harbaugh has since returned to Michigan and the program announced on Wednesday a new five-year contract for Harbaugh.
In an interview with Jon Jansen on the In the Trenches Podcast, Harbaugh talked about what went into the decision to interview with Minnesota. A major factor was being so close to winning a Super Bowl but ultimately losing 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens.
“To me it went back to February 3rd, 2013 when our team in San Francisco got within five yards and one play of winning the Super Bowl,” Harbaugh said.
