Harbaugh shared with Mitch Album his itch was to return to the NFL and win a Super Bowl but ow he is 100% committed to being a Wolverine:
“There was a tugging at me that I was once that close to a Super Bowl and I didn’t get it,” Harbaugh said. “Some NFL jobs came open. I was contacted by the (Minnesota) Vikings.
“For better or for worse, it was something I wanted to explore. I went in thinking, ‘I’m gonna have 100 percent conviction on this, and if they (Minnesota) have 100 percent conviction on this, then it’s something I’m gonna do.”
“I’m an honest person,” he would later say. “There was a large pull there (for the NFL). But I didn’t feel it was that way for both parties. And that’s it. That’s my mindset now.”
“I called Warde and I asked him if he wanted me to be the head coach,” Harbaugh said. “And he said, ‘Yes, 100 percent.’ And I said, OK then. That’s what I want to do.’
“And I told him, ‘Warde, this will not be a reoccurring theme every year. This was a one-time thing.”
