@"JR44" said: I think O'Connell and Ryans both fit with what the Wilfs stated they are looking for and would be well received by the team. Kwesi has past experience with Harbaugh if there was a serious interest, he would be in Minny right now hammering out a deal and the Vikes would not be scheduling 2nd interviews.  

I think the Harbaugh news is a leverage play.  If Harbaugh was really interested in coming to the NFL he would be in Miami, where their billionaire owner Stephen Ross who is a Michigan grad has been obsessed with bringing him to Miami and would give him a blank check and all the power he wants.  


Harbaugh might using the interview as a leverage play. If I were the U of M, I'd look at the entire body of work instead of just this past year... Some major chinks in the armor as far as building a staff, and overall direction/scheme of play.

Ross has said early on that he would not be the one to lure Harbaugh back to the NFL. Ross has more allegiance to the University than to Harbaugh.

Ross tried to lure Harbaugh to Miami before hiring Flores and I think his recent quote is more damage control as he knows Harbaugh is not interested in coming to the NFL.  I have no doubt that if Harbaugh wanted in Ross would be all over him.
