Although Harbaugh definitely may take the Michigan job, it almost seems like there is too much risk involved.

Obviously, he can get an NFL job NOW ... you can bounce around in the NFL as HC and OC as long as you want probably once you are there, not to mention make more money doing so. Even if he wasn't successful as a HC in the pros, there's no question he could come back to college and get a premier job even with NFL failure as HC.

While his stock could certainly rise at Michigan, there is a huge risk that his stock will fall as he's taking over a train-wreck. It could effectively be a premier job head-coaching career killer for Harbaugh at Michigan.

All that said, I think Harbaugh will be successful wherever he goes, including Michigan. But there's certainly a lot of risk at UM, and a lot less in the NFL IMO for him.

I think the opposite. If he treasures the UM job, its available now, and he should probably take it. The NFL will always be there unless he fails miserably at UM. If he doesn't take it now, he risks UM making a hire that pans out for the next 5,7,10 years, and risks never getting to coach at his alma mater. Similar to Miles....
