At that time, the 49ers approached the Browns about potentially trading the coach, who was nearing the end of his contract and had no long-term prospects in San Francisco due to strained interpersonal relationships with ownership and management, as was widely reported at the time. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was enamored with the prospect of adding Harbaugh and, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, agreed to send two third-round picks to the 49ers for him, and offered the coach a five-year, $40 million contract to coach the Browns.
Harbaugh balked at going to Cleveland, which was in turmoil, at the time and believed he would have a multitude of options open to him if he played out his situation in San Francisco. The Browns have continued to sink since, though sources said Haslam remains enamored with the head coach -- who has a history of developing quarterbacks -- and with the Browns headed to a possible first overall pick and possibly two picks in the top 10, the job could be more attractive to Harbaugh come this winter should he be open to the opportunity. Other coaches and executives have noted as well that the Browns could be the only -- or one of very few -- situations this offseason where an individual could possibly gain full football authority to rework the coaching staff and football operations staff as he sees fit, with Haslam in a desperate situation.

Laughable.
In the off chance Harbaugh goes back to the NFL any time soon, you can be pretty fucking sure he isn't going to the Browns.
