CC: Schefter's latest tweet on Harbaugh - EDIT: NOW COVERED ON FRONT PAGE.
Sorry, in advance, for starting my 3rd thread of the day. I rarely start threads (less than 2-3 per months).
Thought this would be of interest:
Schefter's latest tweet:
"Worth noting: Jim Harbaugh does not have blind loyalty to Michigan. He still remembers being bypassed for Mich QB coaching job in 2002."
What does this mean? First Brian, now Schefter - these cryptic messages are killing me.

First!
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
So how many dead kittens are there now?
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:17 PM ^
What's the difference between a Cadillac and a pile of dead kittens. There isn't a Cadillac in my garage.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:24 PM ^
So, there are a pile of dead kittens in your garage?
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:33 PM ^
that gave me a much needed laugh. It's both vile and hilarious at the same time.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:38 PM ^
If you ain't First, you're last!
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
He said the same thing on Sports Center earlier.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
Mike Hart will be our next coach.....book it!
You heard it here first.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:25 PM ^
from tennessee
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:03 PM ^
in 2002??
My bad, knee jerk reply without reading the full post!
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
It means what it means. Harbaugh might still be pissed off because Carr passed him over for Loeffler (sp?).
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
at most, he has a grudge against Lloyd and Bill Martin. BFD they aren't at Michigan anymore.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:30 PM ^
exactly and since it was a position coaching job no one in the admin outside of the athletic department would have been involved in the decision.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
for us...Carr is gone! I remember the first time a potential employer told me "No". I wanted it even more!
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:46 PM ^
Edit
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
It means that it is Monday and this shit will continue until the end of time, no matter what is decided by the Pimp Hand.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:02 PM ^
I'd love to know who the hell is feeding him this information. I don't doubt it, but its kind of a different cast of characters.
Oh how I wish this was next Monday and we had some answers.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
I highly doubt he's harboring an 8 year grudge, especially against a completely different team and department. Ridiculous.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
I actually was moved to reply to Schefter: Carr isn't here. Martin isn't here. Harbaugh is gonna harbor (heh) an 8-year grudge against people who aren't even a part of the decision-making process anymore?
Riiiiiiight.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:18 PM ^
holds a grudge as much as isn't blindly loyal to his alma mater. Harbaugh realizes that he doesn't have to coach at Michigan just because he played at Michigan. Also, as with anything there is a business aspect to this situation, and Harbaugh knows that first hand because he was passed over for a job here that he wanted... and possibly felt more qualified for. JH probably likes being where he is at Stanford while at the same time having long-term NFL coaching aspirations. We as fans see it is as we need a savior for our struggling program and he (JH) is a "genius" who played here so why not come here and save your alma mater? He may see it as whatever his personal goals may be which may be the NFL..so his answer might be 'it's not my goal and not my mess.'
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:04 PM ^
It means he read Rosenberg's thing earlier and had his own take on the QB job situation.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
Where's Marty McFly when you need him
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:07 PM ^
he lost the sports almanac
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
That was Biff and he doesn't have my time machine I want to just bypass this week.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
There's only one man who can help us
"The Doc" = Harbaugh
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:05 PM ^
He's backpeddling significantly (but not totally) from his "JH to Michigan" optimism of last week so that, no matter what happens, he can say he was right.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:09 PM ^
Gotta love the media! I realize more and more that "reporters" who are not breaking real news (and some that appear to be doing just that) are about as worthless to society as myself.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:37 PM ^
Yeah, I suppose the difference is that for reporters it's about the attention generated from the activity of people like us, who live and die by what happens when it comes to Michigan, while they move on to the next story. Our motives are pure, whereas these guys are about riding the coattails of the buzz they generate.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
Sounds like an Agent fishing for some leverage for some more favorable terms.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
Just get it over with already so we can know our fate. This is terrible.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:10 PM ^
The end of my work day can't come soon enough. Then, I am going to take the long way home via Houston-Galveston-Victoria-Houston so I can listen to Kubiak talk instead and arrive back at my house tomorrow at 7:00 pm.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:27 PM ^
At rush hour on I-45 should be enough. I hate the traffic here. Live/ work in Dickinson myself while my wife works on the island.
The dog is getting a really long walk when I get home.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:08 PM ^
Adam is useless as far as this situation is concerned. His opinion changes like weather in Michigan. This guy has become a huge annoyance. Section 1 was right. I feel dirty after that last sentence.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:09 PM ^
What does it mean? It means he likes showing off his knowledge of coach-hiring history, and wants to sound like a guy who has useful analysis worth following.
I'm about to tweet that Harbaugh and Michigan each have eight letters, and that Harbaugh's deeply superstitious nature is what sealed the deal on him going to eight-lettered Stanford back in '06.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:22 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:12 PM ^
After all of his comments last week, this pisses me off.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
Serrano's got the disks!"
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:25 PM ^
Joe Schad just metioned Les Miles as a coaching candidate for Michigan. lol
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:23 PM ^
Jim Harbaugh is coming to Michigan. He is going to get a blank check and an opportunity to rule this conference for years to come. He is coming.
Is for some reason he doesn't come, Brandon is not going to hire Joe Smoe, also known as Brady Hoke and other "he can't coach at Michigan" guys. This has to be THE hire and it will be. It is going to be a "holy shit" hire, whether it is JH or not.
January 3rd, 2011 at 3:25 PM ^
ESPN is driving traffic to their site and to the game tonight which is on THEIR network.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:40 PM ^
I heard Ralph Friedgen would be the "wow" hire, now that he's available.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
Shefter Tweet:
"Jim Harbaugh has his ballsack tattooed with the Winged Helmet...He's coming to Michigan Now"
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:33 PM ^
Shefter would know.
