Stanford wants to sweeten Harbaugh deal before its too late

With Jim Harbaugh's name sure to surface for just about every high-profile coaching job in college and the NFL after leading Stanford from 1-11 before he took over to 11-1 and a BCS bowl, Stanford's AD has made a pre-emptive bid to sweeten his contract.

AD Bobby Bowlsby said Sunday, "We have a proposal in front of Jim and he's indicated he plans to accept it.  He's got this year and four more on his contract. I expect that he will be our coach in the foreseeable future."

Interesting.

But I'd sure love to see what outs he has in his contract.  I'd bet my last penny one of them is Michigan.
