BREAKING NEWS: DETAILS ON Antonio Pierce SUSPENSION...

Montgomery modifies schedule for later this month visitation to South Carolina.

The Miami Dolphins have shown interest in Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, according to reports from CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora. Alongside the Las Vegas Raiders, the Dolphins are among NFL teams intrigued by the possibility of recruiting the reigning Big Ten champion. La Canfora suggests that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, a Michigan alum and significant contributor, may attempt to entice Harbaugh to Miami if he expresses interest.

Ross has reportedly admired Harbaugh for some time, and with succession plans in place for ownership, passing up the opportunity to recruit him could prove challenging. Harbaugh’s connections to the NFL, particularly his ties to the Bears, have also fueled speculation, especially with the Bears considering significant changes and former players for various roles.

Rumors of Harbaugh’s potential departure from Michigan have intensified following the Wolverines’ successful season, culminating in a Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff appearance, their best under his leadership.

While reports linking Harbaugh to the NFL are not new, they gained momentum after The Athletic first reported on possible interest from the Raiders. Despite restructuring his contract and taking a pay cut in 2021, Harbaugh led Michigan to new heights on the field.

Harbaugh addressed NFL speculation candidly when questioned by a recruit recently, earning respect from the recruit’s parents for his honesty.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport offered insights on the situation, suggesting that the rumors might stem more from Harbaugh seeking a pay raise rather than genuine interest in leaving. This speculation followed reports by Bruce Feldman indicating interest from both the Raiders and Bears.

Harbaugh has just completed his seventh season at Michigan, marking his most successful tenure yet. With a record of 61-24, he guided the Wolverines to their first College Football Playoff appearance and secured a victory over Ohio State, a notable achievement during his tenure.
