The Jets secretly interviewed Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh on Thursday, Nationalfootballpost.com is reporting. As you probably know, the Jets' contingent flew to Phoenix Thursday to interview Cardinals assistant head coach Russ Grimm. From there, they flew up to the Bay Area to meet with Harbaugh, according to the Web site.

A few media outlets reported earlier in the week that Harbaugh, the former Colts QB, was drawing interest from the Jets, among other teams, although it was believed at the time that he was negotiating a contract extension with Stanford. Maybe his people leaked the Jets' interview to put pressure on the school.

Then again, that can be a dangerous thing. When the Jets interviewed a college coach early in the week, he became an ex-college coach - Jeff Jagodzinski, formerly of Boston College.
