Vikings' talks throw big twist in Jim Harbaugh's offseason routine at Michigan

It’s been business as usual for Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh despite rumors swirling about potential NFL suitors.

Harbaugh, along with his staff, was in the office working through the weekend on recruiting with visits from already committed players and sophomores and juniors. Really, it has been business as usual for Harbaugh the past month. He has been on the road recruiting and made a staff hire, adding Mike Elston as defensive line coach in mid-January.

But on Saturday, there was a twist.

That’s when Harbaugh, 58, interviewed with the Minnesota Vikings, news that was confirmed by The Detroit News.
