For Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh, there’s a big decision to make.
The nine-year Wolverines headman has been interviewing for NFL teams while the University of Michigan has been working on coming up with a contract extension commensurate with what could keep him in Ann Arbor. Harbaugh met with the Los Angeles Chargers for a second time on Tuesday and he was apparently scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Falcons for a second time on Wednesday. However, the latter meeting has apparently been pushed back.
According to Bleacher Report NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who initially reported Harbaugh’s second meeting in Atlanta, that scheduled meeting is ‘being pushed back for now.’
Jim Harbaugh will not be having a second interview in Atlanta with the #Falcons today, as was previously scheduled, source says (as @JoshTheAthletic noted).
“It’s being moved for now,” I’m told. @BleacherReport https://t.co/2rlEjXSrpn

According to On3’s Chris Balas, Harbaugh is expected back in Ann Arbor to take meetings that pertain to his current job with the maize and blue, while Michigan continues to work on keeping him there. Whether or not that meeting in Atlanta is being moved because it’s out of consideration for Harbaugh or the Falcons is unseen, but it’s starting to appear we’ll have a better idea of what he’ll do in relatively short order.
