Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh focused on winning a national title after brief flirtation with NFL return

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN -- Jim Harbaugh spoke to reporters on Tuesday for the first time since his flirtation with the Minnesota Vikings in January and February. Harbaugh ultimately signed a new contract with the Wolverines, but the process brought about questions of whether or not this would be a recurring theme and an annual offseason topic.

Harbaugh confirmed to reporters that he told Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel that he does not want these rumors to persist beyond this year, and expressed to Manuel that his interest in the NFL is over under the duration of his new contract.
