Harbaugh to Ann Arbor

[MerrittsMustache]

Sounds like Virginia Tech's web editor is now working for the Detroit Free Press.

At least Monarch and Buzz are both of bald guys who wear suits on the sidelines. John Harbaugh is wearing a Ravens hat in that pic!

Haha fair point.

Front page of ESPN.com says Harbough has agreed to become the Wolverine's next coach.  Not that ESPN would ever jump the gun on a story or anything...

Is it a Done Deal to Michigan, Mr. Keefe?

My dad's cousin is (and has been) the associate AD at Michigan.  Men's basketball and football are the only 2 sports that she has no responsibility over, so we didn't get any inside info on this one.

Could have been a 'No thanks' meeting, but I don't see that in Jim's toolbox.

Probably last ditch effort to outbid Michigan. Regardless of what anyone says, I don't think Jim's ego is happy with leaving the NFL.

Shaka to MU
Donovan to Kentucky

Has anyone asked Ms. Harbaugh if she wants to leave the San Fran area for Ann Arbor?

[Tugg Speedman]

@AdamSchefter  Though Jim Harbaugh is expected to land at Michigan, NFL teams such as Bears, Jets, Raiders continue making overtures to change his mind.

Yeah, that's from yesterday.  This morning Michigan apparently is telling boosters that a deal is in place for Harbaugh.

Now could Harbaugh back out?  Yes.

The Dolphins thought they had a deal with Harbaugh in 2011 before he chose the Niners, so who knows.
I think he's ultimately headed to Michigan, but I wouldn't be shocked if he had a change of heart. He reportedly really likes living in the Bay Area.

[Goose]

With MU not having a football I have been around the country with favorite team depending on the season. Loved The U back in the day, have had love affairs with SEC teams and most recently been a fan of Oregon and now have become a real Michigan fan. His competitive nature is that seldom seen and I love it. I heard Steve Young tell a story (not sure if true or just an example of what Harbaugh is as competitor) that one night they were having dinner together and once outside Harbaugh wanted to race to the car and seriously race to the car. Over the top competitors are a rare breed and when you have that chip you usually are a prick.

Keefe--I'm all in. GO BLUE!!!

It's being widely reported on WSCR and ESPN that Harbaugh is still listening to NFL teams.

Seems like he is likely headed to UM, but no #donedeal.

Also, respect the process.

Wasn't it Billy Donovan that was on an NBA teams plane to accept a job when he had a change of heart to come back to Florida. (Can't remember which team.)

Yeah he agreed to be the Magic coach and then a couple days later backed out and they went with Stan Van Gundy. He had a press conference and all.

Hub Arkush said John is on the plane. He's been close with that family for awhile, so it's probably a done deal.

John who?

John who?

Harbaugh.  The new UM coach.

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Harbaugh was an a$$hole back in A-squared. I am guessing he was insufferable at Pioneer High, too. But no matter, he's our a$$hole now. Great hire by Michigan.

So... no specific stories, just gossip?

He was ranked in the top 10 jerks in the NFL and then there is this piece.

Where John's strength is being marginally less of an a$$hole than his a$$hole brother.

Hey! It's Scoop! We thrive on half truths and innuendo!

John and Jim Harbaugh are considered pretty boys? Really?

On 49ers: Congratulations on the purchase of your new Harbaugh!

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Harbaugh! It has been carefully constructed in the Upper Midwest and California for optimum football performance. You are guaranteed to have many memorable moments with your Harbaugh, but it is important to note that it is not designed for use beyond four years.

Here are some tips and guidelines to operating your Harbaugh:

▪  Your Harbaugh does not function like other head coaches. An innocuous query about the weather, for instance, could trigger a florid quote from Admiral William Halsey. And yet a routine question about a running back’s knee injury may cause your Harbaugh to wince, pause and grimace as if a malodorous scent has wafted into the room. Your Harbaugh’s default in this instance is: “We don’t really talk about that here” or “I can’t get inside his body” or “He’s working through something.” This is a design flaw our technicians in California have not yet worked out.

▪  You may notice that your Harbaugh never shuts off. This is normal.

▪  There are still a few bugs in the answer-response system. For instance, you may sense – due to a long pause – that your Harbaugh has completed an answer. You will begin to ask another question. You could be two sentences into your question when your Harbaugh suddenly continues his answer to the previous question. You will feel stupid. Do not be alarmed. This is normal.

▪  Your Harbaugh will be enormously affectionate one day and cold and distant the next. This is normal.

▪  Your Harbaugh will not alter his attire in a 1,460-day span. This is normal.

▪  Your Harbaugh will guard his practices like North Korea guards its missile program. He will tell you he’s concerned you will inadvertently leak information that will fall into enemy hands. He will say this with a straight face and will tell you that he mines other teams’ media reports for that type of information. There will be no evidence, however, that he does this or that it has been helpful. You will conclude he is being overly paranoid. This is normal.

▪  Your Harbaugh may arrive one day with a chipped tooth, a bent pinky or a gash across his forehead. This is normal.

▪  Your Harbaugh has been programmed for combat and within six months will pick a fight with the biggest, baddest bully on the block. Urban Meyer, you have been warned.

▪  Your Harbaugh often will double-down on words for emphasis: “A- plus, plus,” “erroneous, erroneous,” “wonderful, wonderful.” This is not a glitch. Do not bring your Harbaugh in for a repair. This is normal.

▪  Warning: Do not seek constructive criticism on your Harbaugh’s players. He will utter nothing but praise. A rule of thumb for operating your Harbaugh: Players who earn the heaviest amounts of praise often deserve it the least. (See Jenkins, A.J, and Baldwin, Jon).

▪  Your Harbaugh has been designed for offense and will require many expensive parts to run said offense. Yet his defense will be better than his offense. This paradox has not been explained.

▪  You may be tempted to pour Gatorade on your Harbaugh. This is not recommended unless temperatures exceed 75 degrees Fahrenheit (23.9 degrees Celsius.)

You will enjoy your Harbaugh, especially at first. Then you will want to kick your Harbaugh in the shins. In the end, you will realize that your Harbaugh is perhaps the most unique operating system ever created and that you have been lucky to have had a chance to experience it. Some assembly required. Ages 18 and up.
