Seems like Jim Harbaugh has some options sided with some leverage. It’ll be an interesting few weeks for the soon-to-be free agent coach. With such a huge deal on the table, Harbaugh can put the pressure on other teams to pay up and give him the control he wants within the organization.
Sources: #Michigan has made another run at Jim Harbaugh after he initially rebuffed the school. U-M has made an offer of 6 years, $48M. Wow.

Harbaugh had previously indicated he wouldn't give the Michigan gig serious consideration but a source said that's changed very recently.
