Bill Walsh returned to Stanford for the 1992-1994 seasons.Has there ever been a coach that coached a team in the Super Bowl and then coached college, let alone succeed? None comes to mind. He's a rare breed to have had success at both levels.

Well just imagine how it looked when San Francisco hired him. Anyways the 49ers are my favorite team and I follow them pretty close. I can say the odds of him leaving right now are pretty slim. He and the GM have butted heads a few times but I'd imagine he will fire his OC Greg Roman (was at Stanford with him) and make some other changes. The 49ers may be 7-7 but their season has been absolutely PLAGUED with injures like Alabama was in 2004 especially on defense. They have lost 3 (yes 3) starting MLB's to injures. This Includes All Pro's Patrick Willis in the middle of the season and Navarro Bowman (didn't play in 2014 because of knee injury in the NFCCG against Seattle), rookie Chris Borland (DROY candidate) to an ankle injury, OLB Aldon Smith was suspended for the first 9 games and OLB Ahmad Brooks has missed a chunk as well. Then DT Glen Dorsey at the beginning of the season to a torn bicep. RT Anthony Davis missed the first half with a knee injury. They have had 2 key injuries in the defensive backfield. Both starting RB's Gore and Hyde. Vernon Davis missed a good bit this year. DE Justin Smith with a back injury. I could go on and on. Don't let the record fool you they are good just had a lot bad luck. Seriously 2014 has just been a nightmare.That's a ridiculous amount of money for a guy who has was 29-21 at Stanford, never winning the Pac10...
Nick Saban says hi.Except for the money I don't see why any NFL head coach would return to college.
The long hours involved with recruiting alone is enough reason not to.
Much easier job at NFL level, IMHO.
they all are playing each otherWhat are the chances of anyone in that division winning out? More likely the Falcons get in because everybody loses out!
Matt Ryan is the #1 reason they can't afford a decent defense.The Falcons would be fools to keep him again. Has he ever fielded a good defense? For all the heat Matt Ryan takes, he and Roddy White (and recently Julio) are the only reason they make the playoffs every year. They know exactly what they're getting with Smith.
I hate to burst your bubble (IF you are a Harbaugh fan), but he is gone. His welcome is more than worn out in SF, and whether he is fired, traded, or leaves on his own, he is gone.Well just imagine how it looked when San Francisco hired him.

Funny cause I see a lot of quarterbacks with Ryan-sized deals and some of those guys have good defenses on their team. It's also funny cause he never played with a good defense before his new deal either.Matt Ryan is the #1 reason they can't afford a decent defense.

Then They should offer Saban $50+ to keep him workingHypothetically, what if CNS was retiring this year and you found out that Alabama was willing to pay Jim Harbaugh $48M to be our HC. How would you feel about that?
Its more than that. you really would have to research it more in depth to understand it. I know last year was the start of it all, and the grumbling really started when alex smith started showing his capababilties, and made fans question his decisions to keep colin kapernick and show alex to the door. then you have the fights in the inner office between him and the owners. I know alot of people say Gundy is a hot head, but harbaugh has done it way longer than gundy all the way back to when he was a qb at Indy. I would be super suprised if he stays after season's end, but that doesnt mean I think he lands at Michigan tho. I think there is a realistic chance that he does go to the blue, but even if he doesnt this offer really shows Michigan is ready to hire a bonefide coach.Word on sportscenter is that he is gone from SF, but I don't understand why. Like Bamajama says they have been decimated by injuries. They are losing the best coach they probably could have.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQsTM0Xq9oQ&feature=player_detailpageIf Harbaugh is worth $8M a year, then Nick Saban must be worth $16M minimum. Seriously this has the makings of a sports agent on steroids putting this stuff out there. I don't follow the NFL that closely, but from the start of the season the media was portraying him as a hot headed nut case and his players hated him. If NFL players think he is a jerk, what would college players think?
