NFL Rumors: Jim Harbaugh Unlikely to Be Pursued as Panthers HC; Lions' Johnson Linked

Jim Harbaugh is no stranger to the NFL coaching carousel and rumors, but the Carolina Panthers reportedly aren't interested in the Michigan head coach.

According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Panthers owner David Tepper remains "unlikely" to pursue Harbaugh even though he did discuss the job with the Wolverines' leader last offseason.

The same cannot be said about Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who Russini noted was Carolina's "first choice last hiring cycle" and is once again expected to be pursued by the NFC South team.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
