Former 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who is currently at the helm of the University of Michigan’s football program, appears on the cusp of returning to the NFL this offseason. While Harbaugh remained at Michigan instead of pursuing the Vikings' head coaching job last offseason, it seems like he may be more open to a move after reaching the College Football Playoff this season.
Harbaugh was the 49ers' head coach from 2011-2014, leading the Niners to their most successful three-year run of the 21st century. Harbaugh made the postseason in three of his four seasons, winning the NFC West twice, reaching three NFC Championship games, and one Super Bowl.
