Jim Harbaugh finally did it. He beat Ohio State. He led Michigan to the College Football Playoff. He has the entire fan-base’s support. Why leave now? Because he may want a second chance in the NFL, specifically with the Raiders.
Trusted college football insider Bruce Feldman dropped a bombshell report on Tuesday afternoon regarding Harbaugh’s future. He has heard from both an NFL and Michigan source that Harbaugh could be “tempted” to leave Ann Arbor for the NFL. If he did, it’d most likely be for the Las Vegas Raiders.
“Sources from both from the NFL side, and at Michigan, tell The Athletic that Jim Harbaugh might be tempted to leave the Wolverines to return to the NFL,” Feldman reports.

Could you imagine Jim Harbaugh coaching the Raiders next season? It almost makes too much sense.
The chances of Michigan duplicating the success they had this season next season are slim. He might as well leave on a high note with a Big Ten title and win over Ohio State in hand.
Raiders fans appear to be fans of the idea as well.

Idc how it looks, Harbaugh wins football games. Did it on the college & pro level. Obviously, a good HC.
+I like his coaching style for this team.
No disrespect to Bisaccia, but I’d be cool w/Mark Davis swinging big there.

Yeah so the Harbaugh/Raiders thing’s been floating for months, it wasn’t in response to beating Ohio State or losing to UGA

It’s not like Jim Harbaugh hasn’t done this before.
After an impressive stretch at Stanford coaching players like Andrew Luck, Harbaugh bolted to take the San Francisco 49ers job and eventually led them to a Super Bowl.
It’s probably only a matter of time before Harbaugh ends up in the big leagues. And the Raiders are the type of organization that likes to take big swings when up at the plate.
Should Harbaugh leave Michigan for the Raiders job if offered?
