San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh will reportedly accept Michigan's offer to return to his alma mater and become the Wolverines' next head coach, according to Jason Cole of Bleacher Report.
Michigan officials were in the Bay Area this weekend to meet with Harbaugh, who is expected to part ways with the 49ers shortly after Sunday's season finale vs. the Arizona Cardinals. Michigan has reportedly offered Harbaugh a six-year, $48 million contract.
"That's what everybody on staff believes is going to happen this week," one of the sources said in Cole's report, which cited two members of the 49ers' coaching staff and an NFL source. "Jim has figured out that his style is best suited for the college game. His shtick works better with young guys who are gone after three or four years."
Last week, Harbaugh's brother, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, denied reports suggesting his family was pushing Jim to return to Michigan. But no other significant leads have emerged from Michigan's search, and Harbaugh refused to confirm Friday that he would resign after the 49ers' final game.
The Oakland Raiders, along with other NFL teams, have also been expected to pursue Harbaugh, who has gone 43-19-1 in his four seasons with the 49ers and led the team to three NFC championship games and one Super Bowl.
