Harbaugh Press Conference OPEN Thread / "Harbaugh Day" Afternoon Thread
Thread for the press conference and "Harbaugh Day" pre-Michigan/Illinois basketball game (because I'm sure we'll need another tonight when the recruiting responses start rolling in).
http://www.mgoblue.com/collegesportslive/?media=479671
Twitter Recap:
A bit more detail: Harbaugh contract is approximately $5 million for 7 years, with incentives. Clearly, Michigan would like him to stay.

Jim Harbaugh told Hackett he did NOT want to be the highest paid coach in CFB, or even the Big Ten. More concerned with pay for assistants.
— John U. Bacon (@Johnubacon) December 30, 2014
Confirmed: Press conference is at noon at Junge Center. Harbaugh will be introduced to fans at halftime of basketball game.

Figured the buzz would be strong with this hiring, but even I am surprised at the reaction of the recruits I have talked to.

Michigan commit Brian Cole said he's expecting Jim Harbaugh to call him at 1:30 today. #UAALLAMERICA

Recruits react. An offered 2016 RB says he wants to commit & an offered 2017 prospect says #Michigan is now leader. https://t.co/VMKLoLmlnA

The guides have been updated and that game was a replay from a game last night. I actually caught the end of it waiting for BTN live. Minnesota came back from down double digits to upset Nebraska.
December 30th, 2014 at 11:40 AM ^
Considering they've been talking about it for twenty-four hours now, yes, they are.

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Harbaugh Day and peace on earth except in East Lansing and Columbus. Or Harbaughliday.
December 30th, 2014 at 11:44 AM ^
I'm still partial to excluding South Bend, as well.
December 30th, 2014 at 11:51 AM ^
Yes. Chickens are for eating, not world peace.

Remember when Rapoport told us Harbaugh rejected the first offer and UM had to raise the offer to $8M?

That was cool.

I'm hyped up for...a press conference.
And it's awesome.

Oh, and I packed my Michigan hat for my holiday journey home to prepare for this. So giddy.

For some unknown reason I have no sound coming from my television on ESPN only at the worst possible time. God must hate me grrrr!
December 30th, 2014 at 11:49 AM ^
told my director today that I am working from home just to watch this press conference.
December 30th, 2014 at 11:52 AM ^
Zooming in on Brandon's pic looks like the first two rows are for the Harbaughs, then behind that Carrs, Schembechlers, and Moellers. Anyone else make out any of the other names?
December 30th, 2014 at 11:52 AM ^
No pro coach would take less money to coach a college team!!!!!
December 30th, 2014 at 11:52 AM ^
per the tweets from media they have never seen a crowd like this for a presser. #RockStar
December 30th, 2014 at 11:53 AM ^
BTN: "The future is not as important as today." No, today is about the future. That kind of statement loses perspective in a major way.
December 30th, 2014 at 11:53 AM ^
Gary Moeller and Lloyd Carr are here, Jack Harbaugh's here. Jerry Hanlon. Buckets of important Michigan people hugging and smiling.

Who wants to start a betting pool on if Harbaugh will be wearing khakis at the presser?
