Fresh off of a trip to the College Football Playoff, Jim Harbaugh appears to have his sights set on making a return to the NFL. Now, a team in search of a head coach reportedly has Harbaugh on its radar.
The Vikings have requested permission to interview Harbaugh for its head coaching vacancy, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. The league office is waiting for the formal paperwork required for all head coaching interviews, per Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.
New Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah worked with Harbaugh when the coach was with the 49ers and Adofo-Mensah worked in San Francisco's front office in research and development.
