On the surface, this is a ridiculous comment. After an embarrassing 30-14 loss at home to Minnesota on Saturday that gave the Wolverines its third loss of the season, Hoke is as good as done at Michigan.
But Harbaugh is suggesting that the next coach won’t be him here. However, the fact that he didn’t straight-up deny his interest or say he wants to remain with the Ravens does leave him some wiggle room to leave for Michigan without being called a liar.
Harbaugh’s Ravens are 3-1 to start the 2014 NFL season. He has been with the team since 2008 and has gone 74-39 and won Super Bowl XLVII.
