Assuming Hackett makes it "happen", is he officially JMFH?

Harbaugh would not work for DB, Douche Bag, Dave Brandon...whatever.

you haven't been reading the conventional wisdom of the NFL types. They consider this a minor miracle. It's not just about money, especially when some NFL teams (if not most) could match the cash. If this happens, it shows a high level of competence, discretion and professionalism considering the timing/logistical issues. This is how you run a coaching search. I also suspect we will ultimately find out that there was a reasonble plan B worked out.

You couldn't be more wrong. He has handeled the transition and firing of coach Hoke as good as humanely possible. He then navigated the NFL waters, doing something no AD has done and pulled a MUCH DESIRED NFL head coach in his prime, to the college ranks. All the while not pissing off the 49ers and essentially eliminating NFL competition. Dude is a mother fucking genius....Steelcase INC must be the JV to college AD varsity.

He'll come to the podium and pronounce "Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Harbaugh."
He will then proceed to drop the mic, walk off stage, and let Harbaugh do his thing.

He's also had to do all the other AD things at the same time.
Some like dismiss CEO types as overpaid suits, but the good ones get to that level by being really good at managing complex situations well. In Hackett it looks like Michigan was blessed with a good CEO type at the right time.

Bo would wonder just what in the hell Dave has been trying to do the last four years while he'd be commending Hackett for doing everything he could to make Michigan successful.
edit: I had to go and read that chapter real quick, and turns out it mentions Dave Brandon briefly right after it mentions Hackett. I had to lol at this line: ''You send him an email at midnight, you're likely to have your answer before you wake up the next morning.''
December 26th, 2014 at 9:03 PM ^
And he'll do it with class.....the press conference will probably be one of the most anticipated/watched/dissected events in a long time....

If he gets Nike back I will be lauding profusely.

Even IF he isn't able to close, it doesn't appear to that it will be due to a lack of effort. JMFH x 2

If (and hopefully when) JH is announced next week, Jim Hackett can stay for as long as he wants. He has done a great job with everything up to this point and done so with class

I was highly skeptical of him at first - as were many of you - and if he really lands Harbaugh, I'd assert he's done his job almost flawlessly since his arrival
- Removed Hoke and did it gracefully
- Removed Chief Marketing Officer guy; gracefully
- Executed a near top secret coaching search
- PRESUMABLY Landed Jim Harbaugh and spent the money to do so
I mean, if on the day he was announced as temporary AD we had all listed "What does Hackett need to do to stay on as permanent AD?" I doubt any of us would've dared to dream he'd even do that much.
December 26th, 2014 at 9:43 PM ^
Now he needs to De-NBA the Michigan Stadium experience. Or find some who will. And yes, I am older than Jim Harbaugh

He had a plan and is executing it perfectly.
But to be fair to our Sparty lurkers, Mark Dantonio has a pretty good plan too:
December 26th, 2014 at 10:14 PM ^
Need lower PSDs, lower priced season tickets, lower priced concessions($1 water). Improved game day experience. Firing Hoke and hiring Harbaugh is a good start. Also, he has not made any progress hiring his full time replacement. We have the same standards that were not met by Brandon.

Let's see if he can close the Harbaugh deal and keep things going in the right direction.

Yes, from that moment forward and forever he will be known as JMFH.
