This story goes back to the transition period between Carr and Rich Rod: there is some behind-the-scenes resentment on the part of Harbaugh...he was shy of his diploma when he left Michigan. While he was their coach, Stanford wanted him to get his degree. He asked Michigan to grant him his diploma without actually taking the remaining classes; my understanding is that he was pretty close to his degree. Michigan said no. Harbaugh was mad. The talk was that his grudge would probably preclude him from returning to coach Michigan.
Harbaugh also ruffled a lot of local feathers when he acted like a jerk following the 49ers win over Detroit a few years ago...I just saw that being replayed today.
So, I don't personally think that he'll be the top choice. I think people would rather have Les Miles, if there was a choice between the two. Which there probably isn't, anyway.
