In NFL circles, there is a sense that Jim Harbaugh is ready to return to the pros. He just led Michigan to a national championship. He has said he wants to win a Super Bowl. He talked to NFL teams in each of the last two winters. He recently hired Don Yee, an agent with extensive experience negotiating NFL contracts, and he still has not signed the extension Michigan offered him last month.
But people around Harbaugh and the Michigan program have a very different impression: He could leave, but he prefers to stay at Michigan.
