I fear the coaching search could be much more difficult.
I think anyone who might be classified as an "outsider" would have to think long and hard before accepting that job. Are their any "insiders" who could be considered?
if he is willing to come, he should be the guy, plain and simple. He is exactly what this program needs. Whether he will come is a whole different story.
Mullen I am not sold will come, or that they would definitely want him. Beyond those two, the candidate list gets thin very quickly.
but even if he does get the boot in SF I think the Raiders will be sitting there with bundles of cash to hire him. I think its more likely he goes to Raiders than back to college
is gonna want some compensation which they obviously cant get from a college. But if Harbaugh really wants to become a U of M God, he will tell SF Im not going anywhere else.

It's not as if he's not getting bundles of cash from Michigan if he goes there. And the Raider organization is a complete disaster. Michigan has been a disaster but that's because of Brandon, and he's gone.

He's not going to leave the 49ers unless they want to get rid of him. They'll fire him or the GM. Then he'll be free to go wherever he wants.

Won't have to move his family to take the Raiders job, and he may not want to go back to college. He still hasn't won a title. The 49ers organization was a disaster when he took it over, too.
has zero connections to Michigan, or the midwest for that matter, he may leave for more money and a bigger program but I dont think that would be a slam dunk, either.
They'll get someone good, I wouldn't be shocked if it was Harbaugh but if I had to bet it won't be. Just dont think he wants to leave the NFL at least yet without winning a title.
in the NFL and using a college offer as leverage. Don't see him leaving the league as his first choice, but I could see him bolting if he doesn't get the offer he wants in the NFL.

I've heard Les Miles is a candidate along with Mullen and JH.

Les Miles is always a candidate. Don't think it will ever happen.
Quote: are there any other examples of a current NFL coach voluntarily leaving to go to college?
Way back when, Ray Perkins leaving the Giants for Alabama.
And he told GY that would be the only reason he would leave the Giants.

Perkins only left for Alabama because Bear Bryant died, so in some strange way the Bear had an unintended effect on the Giants fortunes because Parcells came after Perkins left
The Raiders job probably isn't as bad as it seems.
You've got a young QB taking his lumps, you'll almost certainly have the 1st pick in the draft.. it's not a terrible starting point. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Harbaugh went there. It's a situation that is begging for someone to come in and actually fix and he's a guy who could probably do it.
but I can't believe all of you Michigan guys are pleading so hard for Harbaugh. Yes, I'm well aware of his Michigan ties, but he's simply intolerable. He's insufferable. His personality is not long for any one spot as he will wear out his welcome pretty quickly. Due to his competitiveness and lack of winning a Super Bowl yet, I also think he'd constantly be courting NFL jobs and Michigan fans would have to deal with incessant rumors every single year. Oh, and did I mention he's insufferable?

Suffering through Rich Rod and Brady Joke leads fans to overlook Harbaugh's personality issues. Plus the program would be far better off after he left.

The list of home run or even good hires (on their face) is exceedingly small. Could be a very difficult search, as it was when they got Rich Rod.

Same reasons he took the 49ers job
