Jim Harbaugh returns to NFL ... to attend brother John's playoff game

I knew it, Jim Harbaugh just couldn't stay away from the NFL.

The new University of Michigan coach, who parted ways with the San Francisco 49ers after last Sunday's season finale, was seen beforehand at his brother John's playoff game at Pittsburgh on Saturday evening. John Harbaugh, of course, is the Baltimore Ravens head coach. He beat Jim and the 49ers in the Super Bowl two seasons ago.

The news came with a full complement of jokes on Twitter about Jim Harbaugh's khaki selection for the game. The Ravens also announced the news.

New @umichfootball Head Coach Jim Harbaugh is at tonight's game. Says he's rooting for the #Ravens. #BrotherlyLove

The question from that might be ... someone from the Ravens really asked? Did they think Harbaugh was there to root for Mike Tomlin? The brotherly rivalry probably doesn't go that deep.

Harbaugh also had a light moment with Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, an Alabama legend.

Jim Harbaugh bumped into #Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome. Ozzie joked with him that he better not start stealing Alabama's recruits.

So now we know Jim Harbaugh's whereabouts. Now we need to find out if Urban Meyer is suddenly rooting for the Steelers.
