Harbaugh's future at Michigan is subplot to CFP title game as Washington tries to lock up DeBoer
With NFL franchises apparently intrigued with Michigan's Jim Harbaugh again, the question hanging over the College Football Playoff national championship game Monday night between the top-ranked Wolverines and No. 2 Washington is: Could this be his last as the coach of his alma mater
HOUSTON (AP) — Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh had barely settled into his seat on a riser at College Football Playoff media day when he received the question that is seemingly always hanging over him at this time of year.
With NFL franchises apparently intrigued again, could the national championship game Monday night between the top-ranked Wolverines (14-0) and No. 2 Washington (14-0) be Harbaugh's last as coach of his alma mater?
"I have no idea about that. I couldn’t be more happy to be here," said Harbaugh, who was 44-19 with a Super Bowl appearance in four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before taking over at Michigan in 2015.
What makes this latest round of will-he-or-won't-he with Harbaugh and the NFL unique is how it has reverberated all the way out to Seattle, where Washington has been working on a new contract for Kalen DeBoer since November.
