According to Ian Rapoport "Sources: #Michigan has made another run at Jim Harbaugh after he initially rebuffed the school. U-M has made an offer of 6 years, $48M. Wow."

That's a lot of money! They really want him there.

That's more than Saban, a four-time national champion. That's more than Belichick, a three-time Super Bowl champion.

He strikes me as a guy that won't return to college unless he exhausted every possible NFL gig. And I don't think he's near that point yet. Too many NFL teams still willing to take a risk on him, despite the growing perception that he is a pain to work with.

From Michigan perspective, if they do land him, they had better hope he stays at least 6 years. Otherwise, they could be the next Tennessee if he decides to head back to the NFL after 2 or 3 years. If they don't land him, then this is kind of embarrassing for them that this became public. If $8 million a year can't lure someone to Michigan, what does that say about your program?

Honestly this is their ONLY shot at a homerun hire. If he turns them down they are back to another lackluster hire like they did with Hoke.

But if he does take it look out, that would be a very solid hire and they would be a big player in the Big Ten.

Just not sure he wants to coach in college, but that is enough money to change minds these days.

^^^This! I know he did well at Stanford, but this is a large sum to throw at a coach that really hasn't proven a lot and may bolt for the NFL again if given the opportunity. They better have a strong out-clause.

Mullen is on line two if he turns it down!

That's a ridiculous amount of money for a guy who has was 29-21 at Stanford, never winning the Pac10...
But it's not a ridiculous amount of money for a guy who took over perennial loser in the NFL and took them to the NFC championship game his first three years...

^ This. The amount of money he is being offered is obscene. He couldn't get it done with Andrew Luck and a great defense. Michigan should be ashamed of this and I hope they either get embarrassed and rebuffed, or all of that money (that could have been going to other areas of the school) is wasted on a guy that doesn't really measure up when it counts.

You know he will turn them down. The Jets, Raiders, Dolphins, Bears, or Falcons will be calling him. I'd be surprised if he even blinks at this offer.
