Report: NFL teams to make 'mega offers' for Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh

Throughout history people have always wanted things they cannot have

A return to college coaching has worked out pretty well for Jim Harbaugh.

In only his second season back at his alma mater of Michigan, Harbaugh has become a strange cultural icon off the field and won a whole lot of games on it. He's posted a record of 19-3 in his first 22 games at Michigan, including a 9-0 mark this season that has the Wolverines ranked No. 3 in the country and in position for a berth in the College Football Playoff.

Not surprisingly, NFL teams have noticed that the man who won a lot of games in their league is still winning a lot of games, and according to Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman, some of those NFL teams would really like Harbaugh to return to winning NFL games.

Per Freeman:

I keep hearing several teams are going to make the Michigan coach mega-offers. He won't take them. Harbaugh isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I don't care if he's offered a trillion dollars, a starship and a Cuban cigar. Harbaugh. Is. Not. Leaving.

That won't stop teams from trying.

I don't think Harbaugh is leaving Michigan either, but I bet he would for a trillion dollars, starship or no starship. That's just a lot of money.

As for realistic offers, like I said, I don't see Harbaugh leaving Michigan. With the way things ended for Harbaugh in the NFL, I believe there's a reason he went back to college. While the challenge of winning a Super Bowl definitely holds an appeal, I can't help but believe Harbaugh prefers to be somewhere that he has more control over his situation than he ever will in the NFL.

If he were coaching somewhere other than Michigan, I'd believe a return to the NFL would be possible at some point, but he could've had another NFL gig after leaving San Francisco. He chose Michigan instead, and he chose it for a reason.

It's where he wants to be.
