Jim Harbaugh further explains decision to go back to the NFL: ‘There’s no Lombardi Trophy in college football’

Jim Harbaugh had a choice to make just less than a week ago: sign a contract extension at Michigan that would pay him among the top — if not the top — college coaches in the country, or return to the NFL for another shot at a Super Bowl before retirement.

Albeit a difficult decision, Harbaugh opted to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers and give it another shot to reach the mountaintop of professional football.

Appearing on the CBS AFC Championship pregame show with James Brown and Bill Cowher in Baltimore on Sunday, Harbaugh further explained why he made the decision to go back to the NFL.
