ABC Bay Area: Sources Say Harbaugh Returning to Michigan
http://abc7news.com/sports/sources-harbaugh-will-return-to-michigan-to-…
Grain of salt is that it seems like the same rehashed sources. That said, it's nice to have the SF/Raiders outlet reporting good news
December 27th, 2014 at 7:21 AM ^
we all know this. is happening . but the NFL TROLLS
December 27th, 2014 at 7:29 AM ^
This looks like it may be an epic New Year celebration.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:35 AM ^
as is widely anticipated, it's gonna be the biggest celebration in nearly 17 years, since Michigan's Rose Bowl victory over WSU for the National Championship.
It'll be the greatest of 5-day late Christmas/4-day late Boxer and Kwanzaa/2-day early New Year's gifts ever (not to mention, a 3-day late birthday gift for ME!!!) !
December 27th, 2014 at 9:49 AM ^
Happy birthday rob f!!!!
December 27th, 2014 at 11:41 AM ^
between the NFL and UofM. The UofM sources don't seem to be claiming the same conflict.
December 27th, 2014 at 7:33 AM ^
I just hope Cutliffe doesn't accept before Harvaugh sorts this out. Wake me up when Gil Brandt confirms.

If indeed all this goes down, as good as Brandt's sources are, we will be hearing that Harbaugh has had initial discussions with Michigan sometime around the Spring Game, perhaps a little after that. All goes well, the contract will be finalized just in time for the conference schedule in early October. The man is that connected.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:52 AM ^
I have been told by sources about the same time as the spring game that Harbaugh was coming. I chose not to believe this at the time but I guess they were correct!
December 27th, 2014 at 9:36 AM ^
It might happen. Cha!
December 27th, 2014 at 9:37 AM ^
or it didn't happen.
December 27th, 2014 at 10:09 AM ^
"sources"
December 27th, 2014 at 11:13 AM ^
Brandt is still trying to get his grandkids to delete that tweet. He's too busy changing his Depends that he soiled after reading that JH is UM-bound.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:08 AM ^
well my little bay area friend, if JH gets hold of you, you will be the one 'struggling'. and while we're at it, urban and dantonio are going to find their collars a little tight here in the very near future. so put that in your pipe and smoke it. jerk.
Edit/clarification: comment is meant for the author, not the OP. JH is not struggling, he's about to start an epic tail kicking.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:14 AM ^
just some more spin. for him to return to college he must be "struggling" in the NFL lol
December 27th, 2014 at 7:35 AM ^
going to be one hell of an ending to 2014. Hopefully I don't die from alcohol poisoning on New Year's when I'm drinking double for 2015 Harbaugh being Michigan's head football coach.
December 27th, 2014 at 7:41 AM ^
CANT WAIT TILL MONDAY
December 27th, 2014 at 7:42 AM ^
I heard the Raiders need to travel there.
December 27th, 2014 at 7:48 AM ^
Michigan coaching search = 1 fucking swim lane
December 27th, 2014 at 7:55 AM ^
And a Michael Phelps-esque lead in said lane.

of Jim and John as youngsters, right?
December 27th, 2014 at 8:19 AM ^
Yes, with Bo behind the camera lol
December 27th, 2014 at 7:53 AM ^
Sources say is a rehash of statistics show...
December 27th, 2014 at 9:44 AM ^
There are the local "look at me" reporters that want to be first to report something. Tweet a bunch of shit and generate clicks. There's the "nothing to see here" reporters (NFL!) that chime in about what they think should happen.
Then there are the "let's get this mostly right" news organizations that report what happened. "Dewey defeats Truman" caveats apply, but I think the mainstream media sees this as a done deal.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:02 AM ^
Joe Pequeno, so it is info that was already out there. It's going to be a long 2-3 days!
December 27th, 2014 at 8:23 AM ^
Michigan gets this done before any talk happens with Raiders. Hackett and Michigan officials I'm sure this isn't just about the scenery.
I will take the unconfirmed abc report as confirmed. We will know for certain from somewhere tomorrow. I think. I hope.
Damn its too early for the head spins.
I think I would really hate to be Jim Harbaugh right now! But I'm also pretty sure that Hackett being an intelligent business man isn't in the Bay area to pounce on Jim at the possible earliest moment, I would guess the meeting is set and has been set for awhile. They will hash some things out and all of the other unconfirmed reports that will come out about every NFL team wanting a new coach being in the Bay Area this weekend will be just another rumor. After the game tomorrow Jim will gracefully resign from the 49ers and announce his acceptance to the Michigan Wolverines.
TOO EARLY?
December 27th, 2014 at 8:25 AM ^
I'd hate to make 8 Mil a year. ...
December 27th, 2014 at 8:32 AM ^
I wasn't referring to the money when I made the comment I would hate to be Harbaugh right now. It would suck to be in his position.
Why? He Loves Michigan! He Loves Coaching! He Loves the NFL. Couple of days ago he was in the top 10 of most searched people on the internet. It would suck to know that know matter what you do and no matter what decision you make alot of people are going to be talking alot of shit about no matter what decision he makes.
December 27th, 2014 at 9:09 AM ^
That's part of being at the top. I think he handles it well. What will be will be, what's your deal man? What's your deal???
December 27th, 2014 at 8:36 AM ^
The taxes are like 3 million. Who has that kind of scratch to give away?

The raiders couldn't come close to matching anyway and I'm sure the real reason michigan is there is to compensate the niners.
December 27th, 2014 at 9:48 AM ^
for "Hackett being and intelligent business man"
We're not selling $5 pizza's here...
December 27th, 2014 at 10:00 AM ^
Brandon would have them at $10.00 next season if he was still around.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:14 AM ^
there will be no talk with the Raiders its all nfl trolls bull shit
December 27th, 2014 at 8:17 AM ^
And what exactly is happening?
December 27th, 2014 at 8:29 AM ^
He is going to be cast as the next James Bond. The working title is The Coach Who Harbaughed Me.

That whole Ben Affleck thing was a practical joke and Harbaugh is currently in filming as Batman in "The Khakied Knight".

Harbaugh could kill Chuck Norris with that red sharpie.
December 27th, 2014 at 9:08 AM ^
Agent 004.
Harbaugh. James Harbaugh.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:19 AM ^
So the title of the article says "Harbaugh will return to Michigan," but then in the first sentence they say he "may return to his alma mater."
...Okay
December 27th, 2014 at 9:29 AM ^
"Harbaugh will return to Michigan"...... to help Detroit recover from bankruptcy. The guy does it all.
December 27th, 2014 at 8:25 AM ^
They've been so far behind on this story,it's laughable. The spin cycle these next few days is going to be epic.
December 27th, 2014 at 10:06 AM ^
They don't care about a coach getting hired...
