Jim Harbaugh has his sights on a college football national championship, but two NFL teams that are looking ahead have their sights on the head coach.

Harbaugh last coached in the NFL in 2014 for the San Francisco 49ers before heading to Ann Abor.

Now, he has the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines at 12-0 and in their third straight Big Ten title game after defeating Ohio State last weekend for the third year in a row, and many believe this team has a shot at taking home its first national championship since 1997.

But once again, Harbaugh and NFL rumors are flaring up, and two NFC teams are reportedly interested.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini said on "The Herd" that the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears have their eyes on Harbaugh.

"[Panthers owner David] Tepper and Harbaugh had conversations last year. It obviously didn’t pan out, but this was something that they discussed. So, that’s a name I’m hearing again," Russini said.

"The Chicago Bears are another organization I have heard has had some conversations about that, depending on what decision they make with this coaching staff that is in place and, of course, what they do with that quarterback situation."
