CC: Joe Pequeno (who helped to break contract details) Says Sources Confirm Harbaugh to Michigan

Submitted by plisar on December 23rd, 2014 at 7:03 AM

This can also serve as our daily morning Harbaugh open thread:

Source close to Michigan Program told me unless he changes his mind, Jim Harbaugh will leave the 49ers to become the new Michigan Coach.

One would imagine this may set off national dominoes, as he was heavily quoted as the source for the contract offer.

I am pretty certain that JH will be formally introduced at the BB game on 12/30...ESPN will be carrying the feed. More than likely will be announced on Monday...but how cool would it be to keep it secret until the BB game and have it all shrouded in mystery? Curtains, smoke, sparklers, heavy metal music.....and JH announced Rocker/WWE style. The Crisler Center would implode on itself

JH running down with blue and maize streamers on his arms, head banging with big block M painted on his face, while wearing khakis. Amazing.

Someone needs to make this a gif

That would be cool. Much cooler would be introducing him today, so I can sleep more soundly!

Until JH is behind the mic saying he's heading to UM, this ain't over. Still the chance he changes his mind last minute. Im cautiously optimistic. A lot of people are working themselves up 4 a huge letdown if somehow this doesn't happen.

Essentially it means he's told us yes he's coming and they're working on the final details of the contract. You can't just say yes he is the coach unless his name is signed on the dotted line.

Anyone else find it funny that some reporters are using "Twitter" as a "source"? I don't trust any of these people anymore.

Huge meltdown if it does not happen. Also believe this is his one chance to be the savior of michigan. He won't or at least I hope he won't have this opportunity again.

Get Jim Harbaugh

I completely agree. I don't want to get him ten years from now when he might be on the decline. He is only 52 now and his stock is higher than ever. I can't see him being as crazy (which we need) on the sideline in his sixties as he is now in his fifties.

Les Miles is still going strong and he's 61, I think this is a personality thing rather than an age/experience thing. Granted, I'm 20, so I don't exactly have much personal observations in change over time. Haha.

A source colse to my daughter (wife) reported my daughter would like oatmeal for breakfast. Unless she changed her mind of course. Where upon she would stay with toast and coffee or may move on to bacon and egg sandwitch.
