Sure. I'm glad that we've changed your mind, since you started throwing around "Kabuki theatre" before Hoke even came up.

Because the entire notion that the entirety of the search was conducted as a public relations exercise for the benefit of the UM fanbase, since according to multiple people ITT this has been a done deal since before they fired Hoke is pure fiction; HTH.

I will believe he's the coach when I am screaming like a girl as he's introduced at halftime of a basketball game and not an instant before.

But that being said, you're moving the goalposts here about the rumors being ludicrous.

No I am not? I've said the whole way along that the rumors of "and its been a done deal for weeks!" are silly. I've never wavered on that at all. What I've said in the last page is that I can buy that Michigan reached out to him before firing Hoke. I am not willing to concede without, you know, factual proof that: he told them yes before like this week; that he delivered a list of demands and Michigan has been doing them since then; that the "care for Hoke" drove the time-table that much; that there has been an MOU since at least two weeks ago; and a variety of other bullshit that's been tossed around -- like people claiming to know what he's been texting and to who for over a year; and that the only people who ~KNOW~ ANYTHING are the Michigan reporters, bloggers and fans.

Sorry, I don't really keep tabs on you or your life so I don't know what you do for a living. But if you really are a journalist, then I shouldn't have to explain this to you and you shouldn't be getting pissy about unconfirmed sources and hearsay only showing up on blogs or whatever. You're weirdly invested in Harbaugh not coming to Michigan and it's kinda funny to watch you flail around like Yosemite Sam as each new person comes out and says stuff.

Flame on the trail headed for the powder keg
They probably have a very soft yes, given the lack of pursuit of any other candidates so far, but Harbaugh is gonna have a dumptruck full of money backed up to his place from a few NFL teams and I bet they'd be willing to beat Michigan's offer.

I would be very happy with a Harbaugh hire, but I won't be holding out any hope until there is a press conference scheduled and he's introduced at halftime during at Crisler.

I'm not sure what is going to happen at the team meeting today. Probably nothing more than Hackett telling them they have a coach, although I would love to see a video of them singing Happy Birthday to Jim.

JH is going to want to stay focused on SF until the game is over on Sunday, then will run for his life. Halftime of the Illinois game on 12/30 seems to be the consensus as the most likely venue for the official introduction.

Not gonna be much going on between now and then.

We can, however, enjoy watching the NFL pundits get whiplash from trying to convince everyone they knew Harbaugh was going to Michigan all along and how it's a fantastic career move for him.

This is what I'm hearing too.

Harbaugh is planning on staying in SF until Monday, after some team meetings to wind down the season. Then, Ann Arbor on Tuesday, Crisler on Tuesday night.

By the way, I see Andy Moeller is being suggested as a co-OC along with Ty Wheatley. If you know Andy, I can understand why you were so off-the-rails pumped about this long before the rest of us.

Andy's been off-the-rails pumped for months now. Especially after Hackett became the AD.

http://www.michigandaily.com/sports/harbaugh-eyes-former-players

quote:

It was 2007, his first year as Stanford’s football coach, and during what was meant to be a motivational speech, Harbaugh told his players that he wanted to play in the game alongside them. He wanted this so badly that he informed his players that he wanted their blood on him if they bled during that week’s game.

Offensive lineman Chase Beeler and many of his teammates thought nothing of it. There was no way Harbaugh could’ve been serious. It was a maniacal request, at best. More likely, it was insane.

But in the game, right tackle Chris Marinelli ran off the field with the rest of his offense after a touchdown drive, his arm bloodied. He went straight to Harbaugh to show him.

Harbaugh looked at the blood and did exactly what he said he would. He took his hand and wiped it on Marinelli’s arm. The player’s blood was on the coach’s hands.

Then, Harbaugh took it a step further. He smeared Marinelli’s blood all over his own face like war paint.

“(Harbaugh is) standing on the sideline with the offensive line, really jacked up, screaming, yelling, jumping around with blood smeared on his face,” said Chase Beeler, one of the team’s offensive linemen.

Yes, please. I like this guy.
