Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has frequently been rumored to be returning to the NFL, and he always has issued vehement denials during his tenure with the Wolverines.
He called a recent report “total crap,” according to a letter he sent to recruits and obtained by the MichiganInsider radio show, and said this was another attempt by “enemies” of the program to negative recruit and misrepresent.
A Michigan spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News the letter's authenticity.
Harbaugh, in his fifth season with the Wolverines, ranked No. 19 and with a 5-2 overall record, 3-2 in the Big Ten, felt compelled to reach out to recruits, according Sam Webb of the MichiganInsider, to refute a sourced report published Tuesday on FootballScoop.
