The Jim Harbaugh-NFL drama may not be over after all.https://t.co/stOUdU8Wom

NFL Network reported Sunday that Denver Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner flew to Ann Arbor this week to meet with Harbaugh in person. The two interviewed virtually on Jan. 9, so this was presumably more than a fact-finding mission for Penner. From the NFL:
A source close to Penner said no offer was made during this week's visit and that he wanted to visit Harbaugh in part because it was the only candidate he hadn't interviewed in person. But Harbaugh has remained willing to listen and has told people if he were to return to the NFL, the Broncos' job is one he'd want. Though Harbaugh has not yet gone back on his stated plans to stay at his alma mater, the door remains open.
ESPN's Adam Schefter also reported on the meeting, though Schefter's piece presents the meeting in the past-tense, as if Penner went to Ann Arbor to close the book on Harbaugh before continuing on with the search.
