How do you propose we do that?
Sure, if he gets a NFL job, problem solved.
But what if he doesn't? Do you propose letting him go now without a job offer in hand?
if you do that, and he doesn't get a NFL offer, he's going to end up roaming a SEC or B1G sideline in 2024. Knowing Jim's personality, my guess is he will hunt for a B1G job as an opportunity to show UM that it made a mistake.
Are we good letting him go prematurely even if the end result is Jim Harbaugh coaching UCLA for the next ten years after he couldn't get a NFL job?
I hate this yearly thing to, but there is a certain point coming (it may already be here) where he's too old and been out of the NFL for too long to be a serious candidate. And if that happens sooner than we (or Jim) thinks, Jim could be coaching at the high level in college for another ten years. I'd hate for that to be at another school
