Depending on what web site you've been reading these past couple of days, Jim Harbaugh has been offered about 3 different jobs and come close to accepting them all.He was going to go to Michigan. Then he was going to the 49ers. Then it was a done deal with him accepting the job with the Miami Dolphins. Now, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Miami has decided to stick with Tony Sparano as their coach. So it seems as though Harbaugh is back on the market.
From the ESPN article: "Stanford is still a viable option" for Harbaugh, the source said. He could return to coach quarterback Andrew Luck and what is said to be a strong recruiting class, and see what NFL options exist next year...Luck, the odds-on favorite to be the No. 1 pick in this spring's draft, announced Thursday he will stay in school and play his redshirt junior season."
Due to the fact that Andrew Luck declared earlier today that he was indeed returning to Stanford for his junior year, we think that Harbaugh's best option is to stick with Luck and Stanford.
There will most likely be an NFL job and NFL money there for the taking in the next two years. Carolina, San Francisco and Miami aren't exactly great situations - none of them have anything decent going on at quarterback - for Harbaugh to step into and have any sort of success. And with Luck and a much-improved recruiting class coming to Stanford, the Pac-10 title, and even a national title is a very real possibility.
