They don't have to.

My son just told me that Harbaugh made a verbal agreement to come to Michigan.

Yea there is this:

and Marcellus Wiley from ESPN

But I still think Harbaugh (and some family members and his agent) are the only people that know.. Obviously haha... so eveything we think could be wrong

[FanFromCali]

Although I think going back to college would be the best move for him considering the level of control he seemingly demands, I still think he waits for “Black Monday” before making any decisions just to see if any surprise jobs open up.

[Cody_Russell]

I won't be surprised of anything.

Though Marcellus Wiley seems pretty confident in his sources that Harbaugh is coming to Michigan

I would think Harbaugh signing anything before the NFL season is over wouldn't be allowed in his contract.

[chemiclord]

You would be correct, Drew.

Harbaugh MAY have given a verbal agreement, but I can guarantee you that if he had signed anything that the headlines would be referring to FORMER 49er's coach Jim Harbaugh.

Breach of contract.

Case closed.

[jaadam4]

It wouldn't have been a contract but it could have been another flavor of sorts like a letter of intent.

[El Axe]

Even NFL guys are starting to acknowledge that Harbaugh to Michigan is a possibility:

[Cody_Russell]

Even though this game doesn't matter to San Fran, you would think that loss kind of hurts Jim Harbaugh at least. Up 28-7 and lose in OT... I would be down right now..
If that's the case, I would guess that helps Michigan's chance at getting Harbaugh.

[The Oracle]

Why, he's not going back to SF regardless.

[Malto Marko]

He is in a great position.

He could become the second highest Coach in all of football going to Michigan and can go back to the Pros any time he wants (giving him the option of almost hand picking the team he would want to coach).

[*JD*]

Rumors are that Jimmy Ballgame will be introduced as Michigan Head Coach this Tuesday at noon.

[FanFromCali]

If true, I’m happy for you Michigan fans. I also hope he stays in college and builds a dynasty for you so I never have to see his smug face in the NFL again.
