Harbaugh met with Wheatley at Red Robin tonight
At 9:55 PM a user posted to the Rivals forums that his boss ran into Harbaugh and Wheatley at Red Robin. His boss was allegedly told, by Harbaugh, that they were finalizing Wheatley's contract. Posters scoffed at the idea of Harbaugh and Wheatley meeting at Red Robin and sharing details regarding the contract with a stranger.
At 11:36 PM a user posted to the Scout forums that his friend took a picture with Harbaugh and Wheatley at Red Robin. Behold:
Maybe the rumors of Wheatley to Michigan being a "done deal" are true.
Even if not, awesome picture.

like you haven't already taken that picture. in 3 days, Don will post a pic from a "friend" he got from his "Tweenting line." He'll say, "sorry" there's no link, I "don't know" how to "embed" "tweets."

Everything you thought you knew about "rich people" was wrong. Dude's got more money than Davy Crockett, wears $8 pants and woos assistants with Red Robin steakfries.
He could wipe his ass with the money I make in a year, and I don't even think my cheapest "lounge around/sit on my ass at home" pants were less than $20...

While I am up for being invited to any Davin Brandon sucks at everything and Jim Harbaugh walks on water party it has little to do with the forces of good v evil IMO.
There are people out there who make $45K, lease a Benz and spend like they make $80K - every dime they make xtra in salary the next year will go to maintain appearances.
Other people are quiet millionaires and you will see them in a dive diner eating food and never know they had more than $10 in their pocket. That's just how some people are wired.
For a guy like Harbaugh I imagine as long as he has his family, his football he'd be content living in a place with 4 sturdy walls and a roof and everything else is just details. Of course his agents, lawyers, wife et al have a broader outlook but Jim seems very narrow focused and the extras don't mean much to him.

Inflation is a bitch, no?
I thought they were called 30k millis?

I call them $30k millionaires. They are over populated with them down in Phoenix/Tempe/Scottsdale.

I am just a regular job guy and I've gotten better than Red Robin at every job interview. Maybe they just like it.
January 7th, 2015 at 8:20 AM ^
Harbaugh doesn't strike me as the type to mess around with an expense report. He has better things to do with his time.
January 7th, 2015 at 11:22 AM ^
who's job I'm pretty confident (among LOTS of other things) is to take a lot of crumpled up receipts from JH's university credit card and make up a reasonable expense report. Can you imagine chasing him down for an explanation of the $19.50 from Red Robin, and the blank look on his face?

We're in this nice, swanky, quiet restaurant overlooking a river, and in walks Terrell Owens. I'm conflicted, wondering if it's at all appropriate to say anything, and finally I say "I think Terrell Owens just walked in."
T.O. pointed at me, smiled, gave a little nod, then was escorted upstairs. I don't think anyone in the interview party knew who he was.
I didn't get the job...

Not just an ordinary suit - a blue shirt and a maize tie.
January 7th, 2015 at 1:14 AM ^
I immediately noticed that too!!

I don't know why, but this seems absolutely fitting. Even with as successful a football coach he is at the highest levels, this guy we now have coaching our football program is, well, just a guy. In a very good sense.
January 7th, 2015 at 12:12 AM ^
Harbaugh "Ty, How about Mitchell's fish market in Livonia", Wheatley,"No, that's too conspicuous, how about Red Robin, no one will ever recognize us there."
January 7th, 2015 at 12:52 AM ^
They didn't go to Mitchell's 'cuz it sucks.

The Red Robin Wedding?
January 7th, 2015 at 12:16 AM ^
Too soon.
January 7th, 2015 at 12:14 AM ^
I have a hunch that Harbaugh is loving the celebrity status here right now
on the other hand, I don't know if he's going to love being hounded for pictures every time he wants to go out to eat
January 7th, 2015 at 1:15 AM ^
Don't you think he's been dealing with that for years now?

Why do these things have to be explained to adults nowadays?
Oh and so no one else is confused. /s

I've always thought the same thing! They could be brothers!

That's a silver M on a black jacket.
Raiders still in play?
January 7th, 2015 at 7:29 AM ^
I also love Red Robin......

I realize it's the fun thing to do but can we not pile on RR or Hoke anymore now that they don't coach here. We get it. He was overweight. General Harbaugh has said nothing but nice things about Hoke and we should follow his lead.
January 7th, 2015 at 12:32 AM ^
Even though I was never onboard with Hoke and would, admittedly, attack him as a coach. I never felt right using his weight as part of it. That should be beneath us. Leave that kind of shit to Sparty and Buckeye fans.

There's always someone going for the low hanging fruit. iirc, mgouser Hugh Jass has an avatar of Charlie Weis in his ND coaching days. Back in the day, I remember an awful lot of posts jabbing at ND and coach Weis.
I guess everything is fair game for bloggers. Having said that, my guess is that JH eats pretty healthy.
January 7th, 2015 at 9:31 AM ^
Unless he's going out with Ty Wheatley
January 7th, 2015 at 12:18 AM ^
Black Michigan jacket is the new tan khaki. He might wear this thing every day of the year.
