Jim Harbaugh has spoken to at least one NFL team each of the last two offseasons but opted to remain at the University of Michigan.

After finally winning a national championship with the maize and blue and plenty of NFL openings, Harbaugh could return to the pros this time around. 

It's all speculation at this point, but one of Harbaugh's former NFL players says teams should be lining up for the Wolverines' head coach.

Colin Kaepernick, who played for Harbaugh with the San Francisco 49ers, says Harbaugh should absolutely return to the pros.

"Harbaugh is the one coach you call when you want to compete for a championship. Period," he told USA Today.

Harbaugh took Kaepernick to a Super Bowl in 2013 with the Niners, where Harbaugh lost to his brother, John, and the Baltimore Ravens.

It was reported in November that both the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears had their eyes on Harbaugh for their potential openings. The Bears ultimately stuck with Matt Eberflus, but the Panthers are still looking for their next coach. 

Harbaugh met with Panthers owner David Tepper last offseason. He also met with the Minnesota Vikings but said that would be a "one-time thing."
