In this story:

Over the last two years at least, Jim Harbaugh has shown that he definitely has interest in returning to the NFL. So far, no job has been offered to him and he's still at Michigan. After interviewing with the Minnesota Vikings last year, Harbaugh told athletic director Warde Manuel and it was a one time thing and that he wouldn't be flirting with the NFL anymore. 

Fast forward exactly one year, and Harbaugh again interviewed with an NFL team — the Denver Broncos.

Now, Harbaugh is pretty openly saying that there is and will be interest in the NFL and that some calls will always be taken. This has led many people to believe that Harbaugh could bolt to the league at any time and that his statements and actions have fractured the relationship between he and Manuel. In the video/audio below, Harbaugh addresses all of it after two spring practices as the Wolverines look to embark on a three-peat of Big Ten titles.
