To formally conduct the interview with Jim Harbaugh over the weekend, the Vikings had to ask permission from the University of Michigan.

Under terms of Harbaugh’s contract signed in 2021, he is also required to report any planned interviews with NFL teams.

The Harbaugh to Las Vegas rumors were squashed over the weekend when the Raiders inked a deal with New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
