CC: Joe Pequeno (who helped to break contract details) Says Sources Confirm Harbaugh to Michigan
This can also serve as our daily morning Harbaugh open thread:
Source close to Michigan Program told me unless he changes his mind, Jim Harbaugh will leave the 49ers to become the new Michigan Coach.

One would imagine this may set off national dominoes, as he was heavily quoted as the source for the contract offer.

"unless he changes his mind" could be the biggest hedge in the history of sports reporting.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:09 AM ^
Unless I change my mind...
I will have bacon for breakfast.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:14 AM ^
What would the Sausage King of Chicago want with bacon?
Also, John U has been nothing but open, informative and good-humored throughout this whole process.

I just hope I can crash on my bros couch when I'm in A2.

I will win the lottery today.

Change that "I" to a "we" Wolverine... we're all in this together
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:10 AM ^
Did you? DID YOU!?!
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:44 AM ^
What the hell is that about
December 23rd, 2014 at 11:20 AM ^
It's a definite possibility.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:07 AM ^
This jives with last night's post from thosewhostay7.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:58 AM ^
So wait...are you saying tws7's Dad is this AZ sports anchor's source? How does a guy in AZ become the go-to for leaks?
I wanna be the guy they leak stuff to! I love knowing stuff before other people
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:08 AM ^
No, artard, I'm saying a type one error is unlikely when two disconnected sources have the same information.
And I'm not rehashing all the reasons tws7 appears to be legit. The evidence for him being connected is there if you want to look for it.
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:26 AM ^
Ok, couple quick questions:
What's an artard?
What's a Type One error?
Because I'm not at all familiar with these terms.
And since apparently everyone, including Brian, hypothesizes tws7's a young person, doesn't it stand to some reason at least that if the AZ sports guy & tws7 are disseminating the same info before anyone else that THEY have the same source?
A cursory check of Pequeno's tweet history shows he also talks to Larry Foote a lot...BUT he quotes him by name when he does. Hmm...so he's probably not the source
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:44 AM ^
An artard is an idiot. Its origin is south park.
A type one error is finding an effect when there really isn't one. In this case it is accepting that both sources are right when in fact they are both pulling things out of their butts.
And no, you can't assume that they have the same source just because one guy may or may not be young. That, in fact, is not reasonable. It is a poor assumption.
Sure, both of these guys COULD be making things up, or both sources COULD be getting super by the same source, out these two COULD be colluding to get attention, but Occam's razor would suggest otherwise.

Check out the big brain on Brad!

Can't be that big, look at all my typos. Woof.
December 23rd, 2014 at 11:10 AM ^
they.. they.. use the metric system in europe?
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:54 AM ^
I'd trust him more if he didn't have all those nicks and cuts.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:03 AM ^
I'm pretty sure an artard = rtard = retard. I don't think there's any reason for you to be politically correct after using artard. Just tell him what it really means
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:26 AM ^
Well I'm pretty sure you all could've also pointed out to flu that it was his post stating that Pequeno's tweet and tws7's prior tweet "jive" that got me going sarcastically theorizing that they share a source and that it's tws7's Dad.
Then he came at me, artards blazing, firing out type one errors, and totally changed the entire premise to where he was saying they're BOTH full of it and are just repeating each other's made up stuff.
I did not sense that belief from his 1st post or I would NOT have responded as I did. But I always love any exchange that brings out some Pulp Fiction! The other day someone threw out "What does Marcellus Wiley look like?" and got the reply to check Google! ;-)
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:32 AM ^
You must be very smart. South Park is a very good place to find inspiration on how to present yourself to the world.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:16 AM ^
And die!
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:10 AM ^
Oh, wow. Do the Niners know this? I really think Jim should keep it under wraps so York doesn't get angry and send him to the Santa Clara salt mines to finish out his contract.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:11 AM ^
Hold Me!
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:14 AM ^
I'm fine with it.
I think it might be time to buckle up!
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:14 AM ^
I'm a cautious fellow. I'll never say 100% till the ink is dry, but guys... it's HAPPENING!!!
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:18 AM ^
I'm cautiously flatulistic.
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:00 AM ^
Ya know what? This time, just throw caution to the wind!
December 23rd, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
is better than being casually flatulant.

Bacon just tweeted he's at 85% barring a change of heart

JUB just tweeted that he is up to 85%. "Too much inside info." bacon does, however, give the same caveat of "short of lat minute change of heart - still possible with NFL offers coming."
Still, pretty positive. Could today be the day?
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:22 AM ^
My guess is the cause for concern is that Harbaugh will finish the season allowing NFL to make a last minute offer.

Can you elaborate on the "unless he changes his mind" part.

sometimes people say they are going to do something but then decide they are not going to do it. I think that's what we're dealing with here.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:37 AM ^
So is it a change of "mind" or a change if what's inside the "mind?" Asking for a friend.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:21 AM ^
Can someone elaborate on the team telecon Sam is currently talking about? My feed keeps cutting out.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:23 AM ^
conf. call with the team to discuss status of the search. Nothing impromptu, but bomb could be dropped.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:49 AM ^
Does anyone know what time the team conference call is supposed to happen today?
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:22 AM ^
the likelihood increases. Next Monday/Tuesday can't get here soon enough!
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:23 AM ^
Cam someone explain how some random guy from Arizona has sources who can confirm this?
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:26 AM ^
Well...the guy is evidently connected. And because of this he is getting to break the news.
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:01 AM ^
Connected how? Because he "broke" the 6 yr/$48mm thing, which Feldman and John U. Bacon later said wasn't even close to the actual offer that was made?
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:01 AM ^
the 6 year/$48 million isn't even true.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:09 AM ^
And whether or not it's true, the offer leaked. It's legitimate and legitimately stoked the fires.

It's pretty evident this dude in Arizona is being used to break the news. It has been discussed that it may have been fed to him by Harbaugh's agent.
This is a good thing for all parties. It's "broke" by someone who's credibility is argued about by both sides but the numbers get out in order to make all interested parties get their offer to Jim's agent.
It surprises me that so many people are surprised by this.

You sure? I thought he was following that 14 yo?
