Jim Harbaugh didn't have much to add Sunday night after making a statement to ESPN earlier in the day to shoot down any baseless speculation about his possible departure to the NFL.

He said, for the fourth straight year, that speculation isn't true. He claimed those rumors happen as a way to hurt Michigan football's recruiting efforts. He added he has "big plans" at U-M and plans to remain in Ann Arbor as the team's head coach.
