DETROIT — It’s more complicated than the last time. It seems more adversarial, with higher stakes, as Jim Harbaugh re-engages in NFL speculation with no clear direction or intent.
His latest dalliance, which included a reported two-hour virtual interview with the Denver Broncos this week, defies what he said a year ago. After exploring the Vikings' head coach job that apparently wasn’t his for the taking, he reupped with UM and indicated he was done looking at the NFL.
Now Michigan and Harbaugh are back in the same delicate spot, more delicate than it should be, and both sides are culpable. How does a program get stuck in uncertainty after back-to-back Big Ten titles and playoff appearances? Ego and stubbornness.
