Sources tell FootballScoop that Harbaugh’s representatives have their eye on getting their client back in the NFL.

Does he go back to the NFL?
I think he's a really good coach. I really liked him at Stanford. I'm not sure whether to believe the tweet or not...

I believe it. For whatever reason, he can’t get the players at Michigan he needs to beat Ohio St. And if you can’t beat Ohio St — which in of itself is a huge part of the job at Michigan — it’s also gonna be tough against Penn St and even Mich St, and you aren’t going to win the Big Ten and go to the CFP.
The obvious question/concern: would they target Fleck?
Does he have any real affinity for the state of Michigan and/or the program in Ann Arbor, based on his time at WMU??
Reusse poisoned the well by picking on Heather. The Michigan angle is an interesting one that is a direct threat to losing PJ Fleck. The questions is, how pressure will there be to produce right away?
IMHO, with the U he has better longevity to establish his own legacy for the long term. Michigan will always be a pressure cooker job.
Uh oh. The Michigan job sounds like something PJ would eat for breakfast.
Pretty sure there's a coaching vacancy an hour away from where his brother coaches.
Let's face it PJ is building his resume here and in the end it's all about the money period.PJ Fleck is a threat to leave at some point, for somewhere. My hope is that: (a) he's committed to what he is building at Minnesota; and (b) he gets paid in a major way to keep him here. Beyond that, he's a young guy and, after about 10 years, I would not be at all surprised (or disappointed...commitment fulfilled) if he moved on.
I believe both his kids and Heather's kids live in Michigan and Heather is from Michigan. And last fiscal year Michigan athletics made 55% more revenue than we did so on paper, they'd be able to offer him 55% more than whatever we could offer.
I'm not saying they will offer him or that PJ would take the job but I'll feel a lot more comfortable when we lock him with a long term extension.
Is losing an exit strategy?

I think their fans will want a big name.
Maybe an Alabama/Clemson coordinator or an NFL coach?
