Rumors Surface That Jim Harbaugh is Leaving Michigan for the Miami Dolphins

A couple of NFL writers tweeted out earlier today that they're hearing from sources that Jim Harbaugh could be leaving Michigan for the Miami Dolphins job.

Had plugged in (former) #Dolphins employee who retains connections to the team tell me last nite he expects Steve Ross will do what he can to hire Jim Harbaugh if the Michigan coach is indeed considering leaving Michigan for NFL. We'll see.

Hearing from a reliable source Jim Harbaugh will tell the team today / tomorrow he is leaving to be the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Could have taken the Minnesota job. Preferred Miami. ( outside chance Michigan pays over the top and he stays ) but bet on Miami.

All off-season it has been reported Harbaugh was looking to make a return to the NFL.  There have been reports that the Bears, Raiders and Vikings were all interested.

Two of those three have made head coaching moves.  That leaves the Vikings and now the Dolphins, seemingly out of nowhere.  Miami's owner Stephen Ross is connected to Michigan as one of the biggest donors in the history of the school.

The Dolphins have a lot of things working in their favor if Harbaugh is for real about leaving Michigan.
