Jim Harbaugh is still the head coach at Michigan, but one NFL head coach would reportedly be interested in the UM job if it comes open.

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports that Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule would be interested in the Michigan job. La Canfora reports that Rhule has had interest in returning to the college ranks:

Rhule was keeping a close eye on the Penn State situation, sources said, where James Franklin ultimately landed a big extension, and may have pursued the LSU opening as well had they been more interested in him.

Rhule, 46, took the Carolina job ahead of the 2020 season. He was 47-43 as a head coach at Temple (28-23) and Baylor (19-20). The Owls notched 10 wins in each of their last 2 seasons with Rhule. At Baylor, the Bears went 11-3 in Year 3 with Rhule after going 1-11 and 7-6. Rhule was Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2019.

Rhule is 10-23 in 2 seasons with the Panthers. He’s set to return for 2022 unless, of course, he takes another job. Earlier this week, college football insider Bruce Feldman reported that Jim Harbaugh would take the Las Vegas Raiders job if offered.
