More Buzz on Jim Harbaugh Returning to the NFL: ‘I think it’s real’
I realize that every year around this time, rumors are out there that Jim Harbaugh could return to the NFL. So, why would this year be any different. However, this time, there is much more talk about him possibly making a move back to the big leagues.
Bruce Feldman of The Athletic, one of my favorite college football reporters, is reporting that Harbaugh could be considering the leave this time around much more seriously.
Quoting unidentified sources in the NFL “and at a Michigan,” Feldman states in a new article that one source stated, “I think it’s real,” when answering questions about Harbaugh’s interest in coming back to the NFL. He has some unfinished business there, right?
Read Feldman’s full take here.
