Am I reading in to this too much? I have been under the impression for the past few months that he would go back to the NFL if a good job opened up. When asked about the rumors regarding his departure back to the NFL, Jim had this to say:
Harbaugh Big Ten call asked his feeling hearing his name associated w NFL openings:" I wont comment on it. its disrespectful to the game."

Every time Tressel or Urban's name has been attached to an NFL job or asked if they would consider leaving, they always give a pretty definite answer.
