Jim Harbaugh: Is Stanford Coach Headed to the San Francisco 49ers?

Jim Harbaugh is leaving Stanford.

At least that's what everyone from Peter King to Kirk Herbstreit seems to think.

In fact, recent reports claim that Harbaugh-to-Michigan is losing steam, while the San Francisco 49ers appear to be the current front-runner for Harbaugh's services.

But would he be willing to make that jump to Michigan (his alma mater) or San Francisco given the uncertainty of those two programs?

The problems for both the Wolverines and the 49ers extend beyond just head coaching issues, and I think many of us have committed to the fact that Harbaugh's definitely leaving Stanford.

Why? That's a program that's undoubtedly on the rise and one where he has the most stable situation right now.

So even though San Francisco appears to be an early favorite, maybe we shouldn't completely count out Stanford.
