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

Amazing to hear some of the names that are here - Gary and Lloyd, Kathy Schembechler, Jack Harbaugh, Jerry Hanlon....this is an excellent reunion indeed. Hopefully, it is just the beginning of a grand new era in Michigan football.
...and it starts....

Little scoop here - the maize and blue tie Harbaugh will be wearing is the same one his dad has on. Bought Dec. 23, his birthday.

I love that they broke in on Ohio State media day on ESPN to do this. The best!
December 30th, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
Ablauf sounds every bit the weenie that his snippy e-mails convey.
Why couldn't Hackett open the presser?
December 30th, 2014 at 12:06 PM ^

Make Hackett permanent AD. I like this guy a lot.
December 30th, 2014 at 12:08 PM ^
What he's done in his very short time as Interim AD is extraordinary!
