Here's why it's believable that Jim Harbaugh would leave Michigan for return to NFL

If Jim Harbaugh returns to the University of Michigan next season, it will mark his eighth in Ann Arbor, which would qualify as twice as long as any of his previous coaching stops in college or the NFL.

Does he want that?

With Harbaugh, you never know.

The Athletic reported Tuesday that Harbaugh “might be tempted to leave the Wolverines” and return to the NFL, which is vague but solidly accurate. Harbaugh has always been willing to be tempted to return to the NFL, especially this year if a good Las Vegas team or his old franchise, the Chicago Bears, come calling.
