Michigan Wolverine Football: 49ers Will Part Ways With Harbaugh??

It has been reported that the San Fransisco 49ers will part ways with Jim Harbaugh after next weeks final regular season game.

Is this a ploy or they trying to get the last laugh by firing him before he takes the Michigan Wolverine job?

From reports from Glazer: CEO Jed York has decided to part ways with Harbaugh within 24 to 48 hours after the 49ers’ season concludes next Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported.

No comment from York obviously since he will probably wait till after next weeks game to make any comment at all in regards to Jim Harbaugh, unless the team, Harbaugh, and Michigan have came to a deal of mutual split since both parties are likely not wanting to give the other 5 million dollars in the buyout agreement.

The only other NFL teams that might be in play for Harbaugh is Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, and also the Chicago Bears.

The Raiders, location-wise is obvious, but their roster and talent level will need a few years if not more to start being a playoff contender year in and year out.

The Jets seem unlikely as well even though money wouldn’t be an issue, but does he want to compete on the east coast and also in a tough division with the Patriots every year.

The Bears, well he played there and learned a lot from Mike Ditka, but it has been well documented over the years that the Bears don’t really like to give out a lot of money for coaches and likely would balk at trying to match the Michigan offer.

The Dolphins, well Ross is a guy that will spend money and sometimes gives it away to easily to players/coaches that probably shouldn’t get so much money, but after Sunday’s game it was reported that Ross was sticking with their coach for another year.

As of right now. Michigan seems to be in the drivers seat for Jim Harbaugh. Now the only question is do Michigan fans have to wait another week, if not a few more days after that to find out if Jim is coming home or not?
