Top 5 candidates to replace Josh McDaniels as Raiders’ HC

3. Jim Harbaugh, University of Michigan head coach

Harbaugh’s NFL head coaching candidacy will be a lightning-rod topic this offseason, as the coach battles through sign-stealing accusations at the college level. With rumors of a return back to the league following the former San Francisco 49ers’ head coach the past few offseasons, the extra attention from the NCAA could officially make Harbaugh jump back into things. While the Raiders have paid big on the last two coaches, a potential offer for the current Michigan coach could reach some similar financial numbers.
