Report: Jim Harbaugh Has ‘Legitimate Interest’ in Becoming Vikings Coach

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh could make a move to the NFL in 2022, and he appears to be eyeing one job in particular.

Harbaugh has “conveyed legitimate interest in the Vikings' head-coaching job,” according to ESPN‘s Jeremy Fowler. Harbaugh is one of at least three coaches still in the mix for the Minnesota vacancy, joining Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell and 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans.

Harbaugh, 58, went 44-19-1 in his lone stint as an NFL head coach from 2011–14. He led the 49ers to the postseason in each of his first three seasons, and the team reached Super Bowl XLVII, losing to the Ravens.
