Jim Harbaugh’s tenure leading the Michigan football team has been underwhelming, but that hasn’t stopped the head coach from generating interest from the NFL.
According to Michigan insider John U. Bacon, “at least” five NFL teams have shown interest in Harbaugh.
Bacon added that Harbaugh and Michigan AD Warde Manuel have had talks about a contract extension.
“UM AD Warde Manuel has discussed with Jim Harbaugh a new contract with lower base salary and buyout, though with good provisions to hire top assistants and large incentives for performance,” Bacon wrote on Twitter. “Harbaugh can now accept, negotiate, or decline. At least five NFL teams have expressed an interest in hiring him – per usual – though not clear if any have made firm offers yet.”

Pro Football Talk previously reported Harbaugh was eying a potential return to the NFL after his sixth season in Ann Arbor.
The Wolverines are 2-4 this season.
