STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby has made a pre-emptive offer to sweeten Jim Harbaugh's contract before the coach even gets offered other jobs.
"We have a proposal in front of Jim and he's indicated he plans to accept it," Bowlsby said Sunday. "He's got this year and four more on his contract. I expect that he will be our coach in the foreseeable future."
Bowlsby spoke Sunday after the fifth-ranked Cardinal (11-1) accepted a bid to play in the Orange Bowl against Virginia Tech on Jan. 3, a remarkable turnaround from the 1-11 team Harbaugh took over four years ago.
Harbaugh quickly made the Cardinal competitive, winning four games his first year and five the following season before getting them to a bowl with an eight-win season in 2009.
