Speculation about Hoke’s job has again run rampant and as expected, current San Francisco 49ers’ head coach and former Michigan quarterback Jim Harbaugh’s name has come up in connection.
However, according to Albert Breer of NFL.com, Jim Harbaugh holds a grudge against Michigan.
"The Jim Harbaugh-going-home rumors won’t quiet soon under the increasingly hot seat of Brady Hoke at Michigan. But if the Wolverines are to land him, they might still have to overcome some hard feelings. Why? The story goes that Harbaugh held a grudge over Michigan’s lack of interest in 2008, when U of M tabbed Rich Rodriguez. One thing that could help the school’s effort to the land the coach: new administration."
If a new administration is indeed in place, expect them to make a run at both Jim Harbaugh and LSU Tigers’ head coach Les Miles. It would be tough to get Jim Harbaugh to leave the pros but there is a lot of tension between Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers so he may be tempted to try to turn around his Alma mater.
