Any resolution involving and Michigan almost certainly won't happen until after Harbaugh meets with officials after the end of the regular season. NFL Media's Ian Rapoport likely will meet with officials either Dec. 29 or 30, and that Harbaugh will tell them what he wants: Explore the opportunity with Michigan Boog Powell Jersey or for them to work out a trade with another NFL team. There would be a handful of suitors for Harbaugh if he chooses to remain as an NFL coach. Rapoport also that "people close to Harbaugh say he's conflicted about what to choose -- NFL or Michigan.""He is conflicted about Michigan," Rapoport said Saturday on NFL Network's NFL Total Acce s. "He is a little surprised, talking to people close to him, about how hard the Maize and Blue have pulled at him. But he also knows he wants to be an NFL coach. He does not want to leave the area and the do seem to be the top suitor for him."Rapoport that Harbaugh "hasn't had any face-to-face talks with Michigan officials," with all interaction coming through intermediaries.Rapoport reported earlier this week that Michigan has offered Harbaugh, a former Wolverines quarterback under Bo Schembechler, that contract would make him the highest-paid college coach in the country.

He also said young offensive coordinators, such as Adam Gase () and (), could be considered; if the go that route, the new coach presumably would be tasked with getting quarterback back on track.
