Argument for Harbaugh:
1. He is a winner.
2. He hates the Whiners.
3. He will impose an iron will on the franchise and give it what it's been lacking, namely an identity of WINNING.
Yes, he'll need some sort of check and balance. But ultimately he will have to be given total control of the football operations. He's proved he can handle it at Michigan.
5 years, $100 million dollars. *half coming from incentives based on division, conference and super bowl VICTORIES.
Why the fuck not ? ? ?

Has he ever not won anywhere he coached? The five years before Harbaugh in SF? 6-10, 8-8, 7-9, 5-11, 7-9 (preceeded by a 4-12 and 2-14). The years after him? 5-11 and 1-12. If the roster was so great he inherited then others sure weren't able to do much with it like he was.
while I agree and have stated how loaded with talent that SF roster was, he still deserves credit for being the one to coach them up right and make them such a powerhouse. Also he quickly turned a bad stanford and michigan program into legit national championship contenders in a VERY VERY short time.
Harbaugh told his Michigan team that he is not leaving in a team meeting. He said any further reports on that are distraction plans from his "enemies". This was confirmed by multiple Michigan players including DT Ryan Glasgow and OL Erik Magnuson.

What enemies would that be I wonder?

I don't think there is much more that needs to be asked
Denying it in December doesn't rule him out in late January.

Chip Kelly denied, denied, denied, and look where he ended up. Of course Harbaugh denies. Say he doesn't deny interest and then doesn't get the job. What does that get him? A suddenly shaken fan base, a team lacking faith in his intentions, and ammo for every team vying for the same recruits to sway them away. Plus, playing hard to get would get him more money.
Anyone can recognize talent in college. Just go after the four and five star recruits. It isn't that hard. Most of Jim's star players were recruited by Home. If that idiot can recruit then a trained monkey could too.
It makes no sense not to deny. Along with that stuff I said above, if he doesn't deny and doesn't get the job, he could lose most of this year's recruiting class, because they think he will leave.

Truth.
To be perfectly honest, though, we all know it's a longshot given him being on the job only two years and it being his alma mater. The only way it happens is if Stan flies out and woos the guy with a big check and a plan to build the organization around him like the Pats did with Belichick. Will Stan do that?
Seems right now this will be a full search of turning over every rock. Not a focused burn of the type required to get Jim Harbaugh to where he can't say no.
Well damn it's so simple then just ignore all but the top 10% of college atheletes and you'll succeed!
Michigan is great and all, pays him well and all, but the one thing he cant do at Michigan that he can only do in the NFL, is
Win A Superbowl

Right back at ya.

I meant Hoke.
It sounds like you disagree, but that is basically what Meyer and Saban do. They recruit the best of the best. Ohio State is currently up to six 5 star recruits and predicted to get one or two more. That is insane considering how few their are. And their 4 star recruits are highly rated 4's. I follow college recruiting closely. It is no coincidence that Alabama and Ohio State are putting the most players in the NFL each draft and some years have as many as 7 first round picks. It isn't player development as much as it is working with a loaded roster. Michigan, LSU and some other schools have the same benefit of getting most of the top players. Other schools have to work harder to find talent at lower levels.
Dantonio at MSU and Chryst at Wisconsin do a great job of finding talented players that are lower rated. Their classes are mainly made up of lower rated 4 star recruits and 3 star recruits. I laugh at these fans that think Saban and Meyer are just better at developing talent. When you start with a big lead, you usually win the race.

Yes but do we really know what Harbaugh desires? It seems like a no brainer to stay at Michigan and be the kind of everything there. But he did have a sibling rivalry with his brother that extended to the playing field in the NFL. How much does he like recruiting? How much does he like being perceived as not being at the highest level? We have a bunch of Michigan fans on this board hanging on his denial. It means nothing. I would not rule Harbaugh out. He has proven to be able to take an average team and go to the big game. His players produced in the NFL. He would have to be on Kroenke's short list along with Kyle Shanahan.
In no small part because his predecessor failed abysmally to reap the results of those same prior solid drafts.
If having solid drafts alone made a team a winner, it wouldn't matter who coached them.
