Jim Harbaugh has heard about enough of these Indianapolis Colts coaching rumors.
The Michigan Wolverines scratched out a win against the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday night, needing double overtime to keep their winning ways rolling. But despite the fact that the Wolverines are in a position to take strides in the years to come under the tutelage of Harbaugh, the rumors about him jumping back to the NFL just won’t go away.
Specifically, every since the Colts have been having issues under Chuck Pagano, there have been rumors that Harbaugh will be taking over once the job opens up. It seems to be a matter of when — not if — Pagano is fired but Harbaugh is pretty much done hearing his name pop up in those rumors.
After the win against Indiana, Harbaugh blew off a question about taking the Colts coaching job before it could even be fully asked.
Harbaugh got asked about the Colts job, interrupted the reporter: 'Stop yourself right there. Just stop. ... No comment.'

There have been rumors about Harbaugh and the Colts job even before Chuck Pagano, much in the same way he was rumored to be up for the Michigan job that he ultimately took.
Indianapolis will undergo some serious change in the offseason, regardless of whether or not they limp into the postseason. But while Harbaugh is an intriguing option to rescue his former team, he seems settled into doing the same for Michigan.
