Harbaugh: Don't count out the Vikings
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
Not sure if this has been discussed but there is likely a buyout on Harbaugh's current Michigan contract. With the Wilf's already paying Rick and Mike not to coach this season maybe they don't want to pay more money to get Harbaugh.

Well, this would definitely make sense. Forgot that Ross is a Michigan alum.

Mark Carman = Windy City Fansided writer FWIW… B)
If you like conspiracy theories - Ross has been relentless in wanting to get Harbaugh to Miami and he would have been the choice over Flores 3 years ago if he wanted it. He is a huge Michigan alum and supporter of the school, donating millions, so he can't make it look like he was the one who took Harbaugh away from Michigan, so he makes a statement of such, just sits back and then let's it leak out that Harbaugh is interested in the the Vikes and now he can come in and sign him and it doesn't look as bad as he can say Harbaugh was going to NFL anyways. It does seem odd that Miami with a HC position has been spooky quiet on the interview front.
I’d take Miami too. They have like $60+ million in cap space. It’s a killer opportunity for anyone

So our brand new super intelligent GM & the team got duped on his first days on the job, now that wouldn’t be a good look… ;)

Sounds like he was doing a very thorough job of covering all the bases and looking at every opportunity.

Fangio and Pep Hamilton...I'm all about it
From Peter King:
Jim Harbaugh might still be in play. Heard some cryptic things about the Michigan coach over the weekend, including that he’s not likely to get the Vikings job and yet one other job is in play. Not sure which that would be. Would Shad Khan take another shot at a famous college coach? Can’t imagine. Houston? Miami? Steven Ross? No! Who knows. I hear a lot of weird things this time of year.

This all makes me wonder wth the meeting with him and the vikings really was?
An interview? A just gauge interest discussion?
Trade hot-dish recipes?

Proper due diligence, I suspect.
