Jim Harbaugh told his Michigan team that rumors of his potential return to the NFL are nothing more than "lies made up by our enemies.

"The team got all riled up," senior defensive lineman Ryan Glasgow said Tuesday night at the team's annual banquet. "We don't want any enemies infiltrating the fortress. We knew. Based on how much Coach Harbaugh loves the program and loves Michigan, you know he's not leaving anytime soon, if ever."

Harbaugh has been linked to the NFL following the Los Angeles Rams' dismissal of Jeff Fisher.

"It's ridiculous," senior captain Jake Butt said Tuesday night. "If I'm not wrong, didn't he take less money to come here? I don't know if it's a recruiting pitch from other schools or whatever is going on. I can't even take it seriously."

Harbaugh makes an annual salary of $5 million at Michigan. He received an additional $4 million this season in the form of a no-interest loan for a life insurance policy.
