“I have no choice but to respect a coach if he’s up front with us like that,” Clemons said of Harbaugh. “So, I respect him for that … By him saying stuff like that I was like, ‘we can’t pick a school because of a coach.’ We learned that from the Oregon (coaching change).”
A year ago, there were plenty of skeptics about whether Harbaugh was the right man for the job at Michigan. One year later, the Wolverines finally beat Ohio State and advanced to the College Football Playoff, before losing to Georgia.
Harbaugh, 58, was the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-14. He led the Niners to the Super Bowl in the 2012 season, losing to older brother John and the Baltimore Ravens by a 34-31 count. It’s the only time brothers have coached against each other in the Super Bowl.

So, interest in Harbaugh? It’s not surprising that it abounds again. How it plays out from here is up to him, and from the sounds of things, he’ll consider just about everything.
