What’s more interesting is that Harbaugh and the Broncos have chatted, and the two sides reportedly have mutual interest. Last week, the Broncos reportedly interviewed Harbaugh (virtually), along with Denver DC Ejiro Evero, former Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell and ex-Stanford HC David Shaw. They have more interviews lined up this week.
“There is some strong mutual interest. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but at least both sides like each other,” The @NFLGameDay Notebook with @MikeGarafolo & @TomPelissero: Playing #Chargers WR Mike Williams and others was an organizational decision; #Rams coach Sean McVay is back and could add Mike LaFleur; A big week for Sean Payton; Jim Harbaugh is a strong candidate for the #Broncos. pic.twitter.com/1AYji6SyYo

He’s not saying it’s going to happen, so don’t get too bent out of shape, Wolverines. If last year means anything, then we know all the talk might amount to nothing. But, according to these reports, Harbaugh really does want to get back to the NFL.
