Jim Harbaugh was living in his own Cinderella story on Wednesday.
He was flown in by the Minnesota Vikings for what he believed would be his crowning moment—an official job offer to return to the NFL. But things didn’t go according to plan and before the clock struck midnight, he was on a plane back to Michigan to prepare for the 2022 season.
It was a weird interview with as many twists and turns as an Agatha Christie novel. But the climax was the Vikings actually passing on a chance to offer Harbaugh after he agreed to interview with them on National Signing Day.
