AsInHowe posted:This has already been addressed - it's actually a big plus for him to take the Michigan job while under contract with the 49ers, as San Francisco only gets out of the contract by him going to another NFL team. If Harbaugh leaves San Francisco for anything other than an NFL team - college, high school, flag football - the 49ers still have to pay him the full amount of the contract. Something tells me not showing up to work when you are still an employee is reason for a contract to be voided

AsInHowe posted:It's only breach of contract if he goes to another NFL team. He can't just walk out of the job and still get the money. I could see this clause being about him getting the remainder if they fire him, which is fairly standard. I can't believe that the contract allows him to quit and keep getting paid, even he just spent the time doing blow on a golf course in Hawaii.

If he stops showing up and coaching the Niners for the last month of the season to recruit then that would be bad It would also be bad if he was hired and then Michigan had to wait for the Niners to release him from his contract

Harbaugh is obviously going to take the Michigan job without quitting the 49ers and coach both teams next year.

If the 49ers don't fire him, Harbaugh's going to get that extra money from Michigan somewhere. He might get paid $4 million a week for the last two weeks of the year, hypothetically.

Also that AsInHowe is privy to all of Jim Harbaugh's post-game texts (obviously the only time he uses his batphone.) It's not like some guy on Mbgoblog made it up. It was linked from some area blogs that are run by people vaguely near being reporters. People like that pretty often are right (and more often disastrously wrong) about this poo poo, the text thing came from them also, not some random person.

AsInHowe posted:It's only breach of contract if he goes to another NFL team. Okay... While Harbaugh accepting the Head Coaching job at the University of Michigan may not be specifically enumerated within his NFL contract as constituting a breach of his contract with the 49ers, at its heart the contract between Harbaugh and the 49ers is simple: You get money in exchange for coaching the 49ers. If the 49ers stopped paying Harbaugh, they would be in breach of contract. If Harbaugh stops coaching the 49ers, he would be in breach of contract. The only way this might actually work legally (and it wouldn't) is if he literally attempted to coach both teams which would be hilarious and I hope it happens.

This seems like the kind of thing that could have happened in the early days of football. I bet there's some 1920s NFL team that no longer exists that was coached by someone who coached at a local college that's now in division 3 at the same time.

All you have to do is look at some posts where his SOURCES told him Nussmeier was going to be the interim head coach, and then when he was proved wrong went "oh well things change when you aren't making a bowl game" despite the fact that his dumb loving "sourced" prediction post-dated when they were even ineligible for a bowl game. Again, I don't have a problem with people wanting and speculating. I do have a problem when people go OH NO I HAVE THESE INSIDE SOURCES THAT SOMEHOW NOBODY ELSE DOES because either they're lying or they're dumb as a loving brick and in AsInHowe's case I'm really not sure which it is because he's a compulsive liar and he's also the dumbest motherfucker to ever be born in the United States of America.

Or anything remotely like that. He's just said that it wasn't completely off the table (as your best buds at FootballScoops reported), and that, from what he heard (and as angry as this makes you for some reason, he actually does have people close to the program who talk to him) a lot of people within the program thought Michigan had a good shot at getting him. He always was clear to point out that other people said otherwise. He was hardly the only person saying it was possible and now it's starting to look like it's actually going to happen so I don't even know how you're still trying to say he was wrong. He never said "it's definitely happening" he just said "there is a decent chance it's happens and people saying otherwise are obviously wrong based on how everyone is behaving". Brian is a dweeb with weird opinions, but he's not just a random blogger it's pretty clear you didn't actual read anything he wrote about this story. You are seriously mad about this whole deal for no good reason.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:Calmer than you I also love a good callback. And you. Edit: Brian is a weird guy, but one thing he also is is pretty transparent about his sources. He protects anonymity, but by his own admission he basically posts everything he hears with a caveat that the source is reliable or less reliable as the case may be. He also very rarely makes a definitive statement, as he learned when he claimed that Michigan absolutely would NOT hire Brady Hoke, because his record did not impress anyone. He looked very stupid about that and has changed what he does ever since. Neodoomium fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Dec 16, 2014 |

Deteriorata posted:Jeff Moss' big reveal this morning was that Jim Brandstatter, former player and current radio announcer, was the guy who turned big positive on Harbaugh yesterday. Brandy is the most insider-y of insiders to Michigan football, with his resume in Ann Arbor. The real takeaway here is that the "Harbaugh is coming" word has spread beyond the original group of guys, guys who played with Jim at Michigan or knew Jim personally at Michigan. Once it goes to that next level of "all the alums know", things are getting closer. BI NOW GAY LATER posted:If it were such a done deal and apparently so many people knew about, you can bet your rear end one of the major news rings would have sniffed it out and already started talking about it, relentlessly. Major news sources don't report on news that Michigan doesn't want to get out, unless the old coach doesn't like the new coach, in which case, SCANDAL.

When Michigan hired Fielding Yost away from Stanford, Yost didn't just coach the Stanford team. He also coached the JV team, a team from San Jose Teachers College, and a local high school team. It's not NFL, but it is four teams at once. AsInHowe fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Dec 16, 2014 |
