Will Jim Harbaugh leave Michigan for the NFL in the future?

There's no doubt the Wolverines coach is tired of the chatter linking him to the current opening in Los Angeles, but there is at least a chance he'd go back to the professional ranks thanks to his competitive spirit, according to well-connected ESPN NFL analyst Jim Trotter.

Trotter set the record straight on Thursday, saying Harbaugh has a few things to accomplish with the Wolverines before thinking about an NFL return.

“The Rams want a dynamic guy and they know in Los Angeles it’s all about entertainment,” Trotter said on SportsCenter. “Jim Harbaugh, from what I understand, the Rams is not a job he is looking at. If he were to come back to the NFL, from what I’ve been told, is that his dream job would be in Chicago where he started his playing career under Mike Ditka.

"People are going to take that as me saying he’s looking to leave Michigan, but I’m not saying that at all. If you know Jim Harbaugh the competitor, you’d know he has unfinished business with Ohio State having not beaten Urban Meyer yet. But from what I’ve been told, Chicago would be his NFL dream job.”

Harbaugh warned his players this week to not listen to the media — jive turkeys as he called them — in lieu of various NFL reports. He's 100 percent focused on preparing for the Orange Bowl and building a championship program at Michigan.
