In case you missed it, Jim Harbaugh is returning to Michigan football, according to University of Michigan president Santa J. Ono. This comes after yet another offseason dalliance with the NFL, with Harbaugh having talked to the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos.

Given the NFL is king in this country, the Harbaugh news drew mentions from both branches of the media as well as several Wolverine personalities.

Here are the best reactions we could find on Twitter to the news, mostly from media types, but also including some Michigan football staff and a handful of fans.
