The personal relationship between Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick runs deep, but it reportedly had nothing to do with the Minnesota Vikings passing on hiring Harbaugh as a head coach.
According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Kaepernick was never proposed as a quarterback on the roster in Minnesota. However, his name might have come up as a possible quarterbacks coach.
Regardless, none of that factored into the decision for the team to move in a completely different direction by hiring Kevin O’Connell as the head coach.
