Harbaugh Not Speculating Openly About His Future

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Jim Harbaugh has kept quiet about the speculation surrounding his future for nearly a year, so he has no plans to participate now as he begins what could be his final week coaching the San Francisco 49ers.

He wouldn't say whether the 49ers brass had come to him to let him know his alma mater, the University of Michigan, had reached out about bringing the coach to Ann Arbor.

Harbaugh, who will turn 51 on Tuesday, has lost four straight games for the first time in his four-year stint. He has one year remaining on the $25 million, five-year contract he signed in January 2011.

When asked whether he has been tempted to publicly stand up for himself, Harbaugh said Monday: "It's a very good question. The high road's the only road I know. Let's keep on that way."
