Jim Harbaugh denies he’s seeking exit from Michigan, cites ‘enemies’ trying to negatively recruit Wolverines

In response to rumors of a possible return to the NFL, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh wrote a letter to the parents of his players. Included in the letter, most notably, is a mention that Harbaugh doesn’t even have an “agent or representative.”

He blamed the rumor on “an annual strategy drive by our enemies to cause disruption to our program and to negatively recruit.”

This came in response to a report from FootballScoop on Monday that said Harbaugh’s representatives have their eye on getting their client back into the NFL.

Harbaugh is 43-16 in five years at Michigan, but he’s left something to be desired because the Wolverines have yet to earn a Big Ten title or even a trip to the conference championship game. Michigan is also 1-3 in bowl games and have yet to capture an upset victory under Harbaugh.

The 55-year-old coach went 44-19-1 as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-14. Under Harbaugh, San Francisco earned three straight trips to the NFC Championship Game and made an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII.
