It did not take long for Jim Harbaugh to be asked about his potential move to the NFL following Michigan’s national championship win over Washington on Monday night. But Harbaugh wasn’t necessarily interested in discussing his future.
During his postgame press conference, Jim Harbaugh was asked whether or not he would like to try his hand at winning a championship at the next level: winning a Super Bowl. But Harbaugh did not want to talk about that – he just wanted to enjoy the victory.
“I just want to enjoy this,” Harbaugh said according to Pro Football Talk. “I just want to enjoy this. I hope you can give me that. Can a guy have that? Does it always have to be what’s next? What’s the future? Like I said the other day, yeah, I hope to have a future. Hope there’s a tomorrow. A day after tomorrow. A next week, a next month, a next year.
“Just one last thing. I’ve got two great loves. My love at work, you know the people I work with. The coaches, the staff, the players. And the love I have for my family at home. . . . The loves of my life. . . . To be here with our team and those two families together, celebrating. It is glorious. It is just a beautiful thing.”
Harbaugh is considered to be one of the top candidates for several NFL head coaching vacancies, though Michigan obviously wants him to return next season. We’ll see what he ultimately decides to do.
