Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh could reportedly return to the NFL to coach the Los Angeles Rams. The rumor has some legs.
While on Colin Cowherd’s FS1 show, MMQB‘s Albert Breer said that Harbaugh to the Rams is a “very real possibility.”
Here is what Cowherd had to say about the Rams coaching situation if they move on from Jeff Fisher:
“I think Josh McDaniels could be really good, but his profile’s rather small especially on the west coast. He was in Denver briefly, the Tebow coach and fail. I think you could bring Mike Shanahan in and he would bring his son Kyle Shanahan and if they came to Los Angeles that would work and you could bring Jim Harbaugh, that would work. Maybe a Jon Gruden is worth considering. But, right now the Rams are bad and boring and this is Los Angeles and it’s not working. I think Mike Shanahan for three years and then Kyle takes over after that makes a lot of sense.”
McDaniels, Gruden and Shanahan are all candidates we’ve listed to replace Fisher.
Harbaugh, however, would be a bit of a wild card and an unexpected candidate to return to the NFL after just two seasons with Michigan.
But let’s not forget that Harbaugh coached the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2013 and then a 12-win season the following season.
While it was recently revealed that Fisher has a two-year contract extension, the Rams are apparently not opposed to getting rid of their coach if he continues to fail.
Harbaugh would be a home run hire for the Rams if they could somehow pull it off.
