Dolphins owner Stephen Ross denies he'll pursue Jim Harbaugh as next coach

The Miami Dolphins appeared to make the most shocking move on Monday when they fired head coach Brian Flores.

But the assumption that Flores' firing paves the way for Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh to replace Flores isn't correct, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said Monday after announcing Flores' departure.

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross:

"I'm not going to be the person to take Jim Harbaugh from the University of Michigan. I hope he stays there."

Ross is a graduate of the University of Michigan, where the business school is named after him, and a major donor and supporter of the Wolverines' football program.
