Michigan plans to meet with Harbaugh

By nearly all accounts, Jim Harbaugh’s coaching tenure with the San Francisco 49ers is nearing its end.

That was reported last week by Fox Sports’ NFL insider Jay Glazer and speculated by many other NFL reporters over the past year.

Now it appears Michigan is ready to pounce.

Fox Sports college football insider Bruce Feldman tweeted Friday night that Michigan officials and the search firm will be in the Bay Area this weekend, presumably to lock down Harbaugh to be the school’s next coach.

49ers general manager Trent Baalke would only say this week on his radio show that Harbaugh will meet with the organization’s brass early next week after Sunday’s season finale against Arizona.

That impacts Michigan, which is pursuing Harbaugh for its coaching vacancy, because in some way he’ll need to be released from his 49ers contract, which has a year remaining.

Asked at Friday’s press conference if he would resign on Monday, Harbaugh wouldn’t say.

“It’s the same. We plowed that ground very thoroughly,” he said.
