Will he stay or will he go as to Stanford's current Head Coach Jim Harbaugh

After drubbing Virginia Tech 40-12 in the Orange Bowl, every Stanford fan should celebrate like the school's traditionally raucous band, the one where a member of the drum line beat on a sink and the tuba players painted their instruments in, ahem, creative ways at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

The future of the two most valuable cogs in Stanford's rise from 1-11 in 2006 to 12-1 this season will be decided soon. The careers of coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Andrew Luck are at a crossroads.
The Orange Bowl was proof enough Harbaugh and Luck will have their choice of next moves -- if there is to be a next move.


Michigan, Harbaugh's alma mater, hasn't made a public decision on coach Rich Rodriguez's future, but the NFL also is in play for Harbaugh. The San Francisco 49ers are one of a number of NFL teams expected to target Harbaugh.
Harbaugh didn't have much time to bask in the win, either. The first question in his post-game news conference was if he had coached his final game at Stanford. His response was terse and perhaps appropriate -- but a non-answer nonetheless.
