If he doesn't come, it's the fans' own fault for not donating enough to the Hire Harbaugh Fund:

I could see how Harbaugh might like the idea of going back to Ann Arbor. He strikes me as the kind of guy who would like being in control of everything- even the players' lives- which is something you don't get in the NFL. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I'm saying I'd get it if it did.

He's a drat good coach is why. I've read lots of stuff that his rah-rah emotional style wears thin on professionals after a while.

There are very few examples of successful NFL coaches returning to college coaching voluntarily, which is why I think Michigan getting him remains a long shot. It's not crazy, but not very likely.

There is a 99.5% chance that Harbaugh is the coach of the 49ers next season. If for some ridiculous reason the 49ers let him go, he'll be the top candidate for 6 NFL teams, who'd gladly fire their loser GM and let Harbaugh bring in his own guy. He isn't going to Michigan.

Eh, its kind of a wash. Googling told me that 8 NFL coaches make over 6 million. Saban clears 7+ million annually, and has things like his houses and cars paid off, not to mention other benefits. For a top college job, the drop off isn't that significant from a top NFL job, and is an upgrade from a lovely NFL job.

This is what I have been fingers-crossed hoping for in the back of my mind. The way they've been dallying with the AD search and the general lack of concern about everything else means that either things are seriously hosed up in the administration or they already have a commitment from a top-notch coach and even Hackett couldn't screw it up.

Either case would be believable, unfortunately. I don't care if it's Harbaugh specifically as long as we get a known quantity. We've got to get a quality coach this time around.

They ought to cut him some slack for that after the university president said a couple of weeks ago that Michigan admits football players that aren't qualified to succeed in the classroom.

This is exactly what I said to my mom yesterday. The best-case scenario for all of this is that it kills the Michigan Man narrative (especially if Arizona can win next week and get a playoff spot) but I know not to get my hopes up.

Harbaugh is the only Michigan Man on anyone's radar and by no means a sure thing as far as availability is concerned. Unless there's some lost son of the Michigan program no one's heard of then they might not have a choice, at least for this next coaching stint.

Also my brother was trying to tell me the other day that Harbaugh has a clause in his contract with SF that he can opt out to coach for Michigan at any time :lol: There' s no way such a thing exists, right?

Apparently he doesn't have a buy out if he comes back to college, or so I've read.

I don't think it's Michigan specific.

That Michigan thing was rumored back when he was at Stanford too. It's bullshit.
