Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh helped his program to one of their most successful seasons ever, falling just short of the National Championship game with their Orange Bowl loss to Georgia. Harbaugh's Michigan tenure has been a success but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning, particularly about a potential NFL comeback, where the former San Francisco 49ers head coach enjoyed success. Harbaugh has been linked to teams such as the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Giants, though his real status at Michigan was revealed amid the NFL comeback rumors, via Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic.
So it's my understanding Michigan and Jim Harbaugh have had productive talks on a new deal/competitive offer-package has been made. At this point, it's about what Harbaugh wants to do.
Michigan, as I understand it, welcomes JH at UM. But some at M wonder if he's torn about NFL.

Baumgardner goes on to report that he's heard Michigan hasn't fallen short with its offers to Harbaugh. The wild card here is what Harbaugh wants to do, which seemingly no one knows at the moment, perhaps even Harbaugh himself. An NFL return could be very much in the cards.
It's entirely possible that Jim Harbaugh has interest in both returning to Michigan and the NFL. It could ultimately come down to whoever woos Harbaugh the best.
