People close to Jim Harbaugh say he’s conflicted about what to choose — NFL or Michigan. Even he’s surprised how hard U-M is tugging at him.

One reason Jim Harbaugh hasn’t made a decision? He hasn’t had any face-to-face talks with Michigan officials. All done thru intermediaries

How it’ll play out: Harbaugh will meet with #49ers brass & he’ll tell them what he wants to do: Explore U-M or for them to work out a trade

On “NFL Total Access” Rapoport also said Harbaugh “knows he wants to be an NFL coach. He does not want to leave the area, and the Oakland Raiders do seem to be the top suitor for him.”
