It appeared as though the drama between the "will he or won't he" speculation involving University of Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh was finally put to rest earlier this month when school president Santa Ono announced on social media that the former would be staying put in Ann Arbor to continue coaching the team. That came after several instances of openly flirting with the NFL on a potential return.
Harbaugh himself released the following statement on January 16:
"I love the relationships that I have at Michigan -- coaches, staff, families, administration, president Santa Ono and especially the players and their families," Harbaugh said in his statement Jan. 16. "My heart is at the University of Michigan. I once heard a wise man say, 'Don't try to out-happy, happy.' Go Blue!"
But now there's been a report that Harbaugh once again has met with the Denver Broncos regarding their coaching vacancy; team representatives visited Harbaugh in Michigan.
Per Sports Illustrated:
"Broncos owner Greg Penner reportedly traveled to Ann Arbor to meet with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh last week concerning the franchise’s head coach vacancy, despite the Wolverines coach stating firmly that he would remain with the program on Jan. 16.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the follow-up meeting between Penner, Denver’s general manager George Paton and Harbaugh was one of due diligence as the Broncos leadership carried out the same assembly with the seven other candidates vying to become the franchise’s next coach. However, a deal between Harbaugh and the Broncos failed to come to fruition."
Seriously, what's going on here? Michigan fans have every right to feel frustrated at their head coach's open flirting with leaving the University despite promising to stay put.
