Stanford AD: Harbaugh not a Notre Dame candidate
Posted December 07, 2009 10:00 pm
STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby says he is confident coach Jim Harbaugh is not a candidate for the opening at Notre Dame.
In an e-mail Tuesday, Bowlsby says he has talked to Swarbrick and Harbaugh's agent, Jack Bechta, to confirm Harbaugh is not a candidate to replace Charlie Weis.
In an interview with ESPN before Monday night's Ravens-Packers game, Harbaugh denied a New York Times report that he was set to meet or had already met with Swarbrick. Harbaugh told ESPN "there's no meeting" and he hasn't "talked to Notre Dame about a meeting."
Stanford is close to announcing an extension with Harbaugh. He led the Cardinal (8-4) to their first bowl bid in eight seasons. Stanford plays Oklahoma in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 31.
