Since Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh began discussing his potential of returning to the NFL as a head coach, his future with the Wolverines' program has been a widely discussed topic.
Harbaugh, who interviewed for the Vikings head coaching vacancy on Wednesday (National Signing Day for college football), has legitimate interest in being Minnesota's next coach. However, according to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde, he was not sure if he would accept the Vikings job if offered.
Needless to say—whether he accepts or not—it has been a very tedious and slow-moving process by Minnesota in selecting the next person as the next coach for the franchise. While it looks as if Harbaugh chose the time frame of having a coaching interview during the process of one of college football's biggest days of the year, the timing of the process has not been solely left up to him.
