Report: Harbaugh staying at Michigan

Head coach Jim Harbaugh won't be making his NFL return.

The 58-year-old informed Michigan after interviewing with the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday that he's staying with the school for the upcoming season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Harbaugh also told athletic director Warde Manuel that his entertaining interest from the NFL won't be a re-occurring issue in the future, and that he'll stay at Michigan as long as it wants him, Schefter reports.

Harbaugh signed an extension last year through the 2025 season at a reduced rate.

Harbaugh is 61-24 with his alma mater. Last season, he led the program to a 12-2 record and its first win over rival Ohio State since he took the job in 2015. The Wolverines also ended their 17-year Big Ten title drought, and they qualified for their first-ever College Football Playoff.

A former NFL quarterback, Harbaugh led the San Francisco 49ers to a 44-19-1 record from 2011-14. He helped the Niners reach the Super Bowl during the 2012-13 season, although they lost to the Baltimore Ravens and his brother, John.

Meanwhile, the Vikings will continue their coaching search after they finished second in the NFC North last campaign. The club has reportedly identified Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell as its next head coach.
