Webb says people are reading too much into Harbaugh/Wheatley photo
Wheatley told Sam that a deal is "far from done" and that there has been no formal interview. Of course, the fact that he and Harbaugh are old friends will help us, but the post with the photo says the two were finalizing Wheatley's contract, which isn't true.

That is my favorite drink when I'm in the BVI! Such a good drink and after a couple, you feel very good!

The Rum House in the Irish Channel. I almost got the t-shirt but the ones they were selling, as opposed to the ones they were wearing, weren't movie quality.

Best when ordered from the Soggy Dollar Bar!

And that is where the recipe is from!

Red Robin has a drink similar to this called "Sand In Your Shorts"! Once it hits your lips you can't stop!!

I can't wait for spring practice videos, Harbaugh's interactions with players, etc. Oh and 'Hello' posts. Something more tangible than the terrible information that has been thrown around concerning the coaching staff.

Doubt it. There will be an interview today and Wheatley could very well be on the staff before Thursday.

Sam has said all along that Wheatley is his direct source.

He leaves the source of his info open to speculation, so I speculated - with "air quotes"
January 7th, 2015 at 10:22 AM ^
Except that's EXACTLY what Webb said less than an hour ago. Sam said when he heard the rumors about TW being a done deal, he immediately called or texted TW to find out the situation, and TW's response was "What deal? Where are people getting that?"

So did Sam Webb ... Actually, before you did (6:17 AM ET, to be exact):

If the OP didn't state that Wheatley was the source - which I do not believe it did - I responded solely to what is in this thread. Um-kay? All this drama because I used " " around the word source? Really?!
January 7th, 2015 at 11:08 AM ^
I'm not from, nor in, New Jersey. I think I've been there three times in my life.
And, if you follow Sam's link, it was free.
Which brings me to the following point: if you're only going to get your "info from this blog", that's fine. However, I would like to point out that your assumptions, like some of the info posted on his site, aren't always the best source of truth.

by Michigan or Sam Webb when the deal is done. I think Sam will give his gut feel when appropriate. To me, any information coming from others is guessing. Wheatley is in constant communication with Sam.
January 7th, 2015 at 7:10 AM ^
Nope. Wheatley came yesterday and met with Drevno. It got late and Harbaugh and Wheatley went to dinner and the interview got pushed back for today.
So today we could get good news!
January 7th, 2015 at 8:50 AM ^
That was my first thought. He's being interviewed for an assistant coaching position, not director of the CIA. Why would he be in town for a full day, go out to dinner with Harbaugh, but then be "far from finalized"? I find it hard to believe, given the hectic lifestyle of football coaches, that he would have all this time to just hang out and not get to business, especially since he will be looking for another job if this one doesn't pan out.
January 7th, 2015 at 10:16 AM ^
Maybe Sam's giant ego can't take not breaking this story, so he's calming it down until it's "official" and he can be the one to drop the news.
January 7th, 2015 at 10:25 AM ^
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Webb just related this morning that he knew about the firing of Hoke well before it was public knowledge, but he intentionally and specifically refused to break the information before UM did because he believes there are certain situations where being first to report news isn't doing the right thing by the people involved.
January 7th, 2015 at 6:41 AM ^
IT'S NOT HAPPENING!
You know, if Jim Harbaugh can't seal the deal with bottomless fries and a mushroom burger, then maybe he's not the right guy for the job...
Is Bob Stitt still available?
January 7th, 2015 at 7:17 AM ^
Wheatley is a tower of onion rings man and was taken aback at Harbaugh's fries order.
January 7th, 2015 at 8:12 AM ^
For onion rings!
January 7th, 2015 at 7:51 AM ^
Red Robin is that special place to seal the deal. That is the type of place for anniversaries, prom dates, and especially if you want to propose. Have you not heard that they have bottomless fries!
January 7th, 2015 at 7:54 AM ^
Pictures of bottomless things are NSFW.
Get ready for the banhammer.

This is how the echo chamber starts. Guy takes pic with Harbaugh and Wheatly, asks what they are doing at Red Robin and Harbaugh jokingly says with a smile "We're just finalizing the details to get this guy in Ann Arbor" followed by giving Ty a friendly punch. Random guy is too star struck at moment to pick up on obvious sarcasm, so he relays message to buddy, who posts on a website "Its a done deal". Some are skepticle, but enough people glancing over see its a done deal, then they spread that same thing onto other websites. Now people are simply reading "Rivals confirms Wheatly finalizing details". The story has gotten so far from its source, that people don't question it because they don't even think they have too. This is why I always wait for the pros to confirm things before getting any hopes up.

The guy's a legend in A2.. Let's not mess his name up.
