It has happened. Jim Harbaugh will be Michigan's head coach starting Tuesday. The race to tell you water is wet is on in earnest, but with even ESPN grudgingly admitting it, it's 100%. These four gentlemen were the first:
I just got off the phone with more sources tonight. It's done. Jim Harbaugh is coming to Michigan - and his friends are flying in Monday.

Jim Harbaugh's family is flying to Ann Arbor Monday, source tells @FoxSports. Harbaugh will be #Wolverines new head coach.

Confirmed @BruceFeldmanCFB's report that Harbaugh will fly into AA tomorrow; presser likely on Tuesday (FREE): http://t.co/M3on6Xqi85

Summation per multiple sources (including one within 49ers organization) - Michigan Expecting to Name Harbaugh Coach http://t.co/3dRTBHfYiu

John Clayton is saying it's "100%" with Harbaugh pinging NFL assistants about their desire to come with him; there is an army of comically out of touch NFL people saying the Raiders aren't dead yet without even considering what the 49ers would prefer—not the Raiders.
It's done.

Harbaugh smile as he got the game ball and a Gatorade bath from the team was awesome. Leaders eat last.
Now get on that GD plane and come home!

For the love of Harbaugh!

I got that nostalgic choked up feeling when watching the hype videos, too

Harbaugh is the perfect coach to unite the Michigan fanbase: ties to Bo and the traditions yet a strong enough personality not to be restrained by any existing dysfunctions -- either in process or personnnel -- that lurk the hallowed hallways. He's young, proven, and a force to be reconned with. His ceiling is much higher than Bo's or Carr's because he has an open-mind and seems to prefer winning to football dogma. And he's got the fire in his belly for winning and the ability to light it in his players. We might lose some at first, by I'm positive that it won't be because of lackluster performance or players not playing up to their potential. We won't be losing to teams like Akron or Toledo and we will be upsetting some big fish.
We've finally landed an elite, top-tier coach. I'm pinching myself, I can hardly believe it.
Let's Go Blue!

Hoping for no last minute SNAFU. I can't wait until Jim shows up in Ann Arbor!

Denise is Harbaugh, heartbroken Brian is the NFL, Daryl Fitzsimmons is Ian Rapoport.

But I seriously doubt if I will ever see Jim Harbaugh nibble on every opposing coach's ear after every flippin' game like Brady Hoke did. Hugs and smooches. It was getting sickening. No more softball. It's HARBALL TIME. I mean this IS Michigan FerGodsakes. Finally, Game On! GO BLUE!

What the fuck are you talking about? I mean, like... I don't want you to try to explain your dumbass post that makes zero sense. I guess I mean to ask how does such a stupid thought pop into your brain?
B Hoke might not have been the most spirited coach but he in no way "nibbled on every coach's ear" after games. You sound just really, really fuckin' dumb.

Dantonio's team tried to twist off Denard's head and later late hit him out of the game.
And yet Hoke goes and kisses Dantonio after the game. PUKE.
You're wrong on this one, man. Hoke was SOFT.

Not to mention you use "This is Michigan Fergodsakes" which is a Brady Hoke thing.
The guy tried his best, didn't work out and is gone. We got our guy in J Harbaugh and our best days are ahead of us. Step off, George...

Have a nice day.
December 29th, 2014 at 12:27 AM ^
This is a really cheerful reading. obviously happy. :)
December 29th, 2014 at 2:19 AM ^
3rd year in a row Hoke regression, Brandon F ups, their subsequent firings, Hackett interim, JH availability, JH no NFL offers (?) or trade, spouse and family support, on and on with other things we don't even know about.
If this ain't fate folks, I don't know what is...
December 29th, 2014 at 2:37 AM ^
and I don't even care if I'm not able to actually get the season tix. Just my way of letting the AD know...
GOOD FUCKING JOB, MAN.

Still waiting for the official word, but this is great news for all of us in Blue land.
December 29th, 2014 at 8:02 AM ^
I don't know if I've ever been as excited for a press conference in my life. Welcome back Coach Harbaugh (got such a nice ring to it!)
December 29th, 2014 at 9:19 AM ^
I see the Jets fired their head coach. Others may fall in the NFL. Its Monday monring and I am getting uncomfortable there is not a formal statement by Umich that its done.
On anotyher note, Mgoblog has been a trail blazer, a loyal steward of not only the Program but for all of us, and his coverage was thorough and impeccable. I am ashamed to say I have been a subscriber to certain big-recruiter type websites at $99/year. I cancelled my plan this monring and I will be making my first annual donation to Mgoblog right after the NEw Year...
