New rumor this week is Harbaughs chances of returning to the NFL are slimming, but to not count out the Vikings to make a surprise push for him. More could come this week. This according to a reporter who used to work for the Detroit Free Press and has connections in Ann Arbor. Stay tuned

unreal.  the guy takes a bad SF team, brings in Fangio, takes them to 3 out of 4 NFCCG.  Was a tipped pass and a muffed punt from 3 straight super bowls and people here are “uhhhh noooo”

This fanbase is almost as mediocre as the teams record this century.

Keep in mind, Vic Fangio was Jim Harbaugh's defensive coordinator for five years. One season at Stanford and four with the 49ers.

Also, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah spent time around Harbaugh/Fangio while working for San Fran. #Vikings

I just wish I actually liked him, yuk.  I like his brother, but he always comes across as such a Dbag, even as a NFL QB.

Extremely successful.

Extremely short shelf life.

Not exactly the bill of fare we were shown in the presser.

Honestly, I think there's a 90% chance this is just a bag run being accommodated by an old friend. I pair this with what looks more and more like a pure cronyism move, and I'm not sure what to think.

Take away this past year, and his college career is barely in line with Paul Chryst.

He was 44-19-1 with the 49ers. You cant complain about the results. Its not like he had a QB jugernaught.

He did well with the 49ers a long long fome ago. If he’s such a QB whisperer then why have all of his QBs been average at best at Michigan? I see this as a big time gamble and idk if I want a weirdo like Harbaugh

Honestly, I don't give a rat's ass if he's a douche. If he wins and he wins big, I don't care if he greets every man, woman and child entering the stadium like this -

Source tells PFT that Jim Harbaugh's interview with the Vikings happened this evening.

Weird there is one source for this.

We dont need to whisper to QBs. We already have one of the most accurate ones around. We need a leader of men.

Take whats working on offense. Bring in new eyes on D and win a friggin championship.

This is my thinking. If this were a thing, do you honestly think no one else would know about it?

Every HC interview has had a follow up post from Vikings.com.

Not this one.

Strib article said they reached out to gauge interest, didn’t call it an interview per se…
Vikings talk with Michigan's Jim Harbaugh, interview Giants' Patrick Graham about head coaching position

The Vikings had exploratory conversations with Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh on Saturday to gauge interest on both sides in the team's head coaching position, a source with knowledge of the team's plans said.
