5 best NFL fits for Jim Harbaugh if he were to leave Michigan
By John Buhler
It seems like Jim Harbaugh would seriously consider leaving Michigan for an NFL job now.
After dipping his toes into the NFL last offseason cycle with the Minnesota Vikings, a real opportunity might be what it takes to get Jim Harbaugh to leave his alma mater of Michigan.
Harbaugh has won everywhere he has been, including a four-year run with the San Francisco 49ers. Although he rarely stays anywhere for very long, Harbaugh has been leading the Wolverines since 2015. While Michigan has won the Big Ten in back-to-back seasons, Harbaugh is now 0-2 in College Football Playoff games. Pushing 60, it feels like now or never for an NFL return.
If Harbaugh were to go back to the NFL, one of these five teams might be the ones to hire him…

Washington Commanders may move off Ron Rivera after second-half collapse
With the Washington Commanders falling apart at the seams in the second half of the season, would it shock you if they moved off Ron Rivera on Black Monday? This is Washington after all where nothing’s shocking. They introduced Major Tuddy as their mascot, in what I am sure is a smokescreen for something far more nefarious. They are who they are, but they need Harbaugh.
Just imagine this nervous bird telling second-year quarterback Sam Howell why it is so important to eat red meat. Wash it down with a tall glass of 2-percent, and this team will be going places. Will those places be good? Debatable, but we are in the interesting business, and Harbaugh to the nation’s capital sure is interesting. Keep in mind his older brother John coaches over in Baltimore…
Harbaugh did win big in San Francisco, so he may have what it takes to star in Washington chaos.
