I've spent a lot of time in Michigan over the past six weeks. Wolverines fans are NUTS (in a good way) and absolutely committed to UM football. They've pulled out the stops and offered to make Harbaugh the highest paid coach in college football.
Harbaugh has to be fighting conflicting feelings. His heart must be saying "Stay in the Bay Area, turn the Raiders into Super Bowl winners again," especially since Pete Carroll and John Harbaugh have won the last two Super Bowls. His head might be saying "your style is very well suited to college football, and Michigan may be the place that you're best suited," particularly w/respect to his rah rah style.
Still...the Harbaughs love the Bay Area and JH has never had a major head coaching role outside this state. My guess is that if Davis comes across, JH becomes their guy, especially since the Raiders do have some talent. They'd have to eat two years of McKenzie's contract, but I could see them doing it.
