Michigan has told its biggest boosters a deal for Jim Harbaugh is done and a press conference is scheduled for Tuesday, per sources.

It must have been painful for Schefter to tweet that. He's not quite the disloyal snake that Michael Rosenbitch is, but he's in the same category in my opinion. Both are guys that won't hesitate to throw their school under the bus if they think it might advance their career.
December 29th, 2014 at 10:11 AM ^
Okay.
December 29th, 2014 at 10:13 AM ^
how did he throw the University under a bus?
December 29th, 2014 at 10:17 AM ^
It was a really big bus, like the size of Washtenaw County. A bus for T-Rex's going to dino school, back in the day.

Not sure if this counts..but wasn't he the guy who claimed UM was cheap..ala no ipads for the players or something like that...
December 29th, 2014 at 10:35 AM ^
I'm confused: if we spend top dollar for the best coach available, we're desperate. At the same time, I'm hearing we're cheap and behind the times for not buying ipads. What am I missing?
December 29th, 2014 at 1:48 PM ^
to Harbaugh. As evidence he cited how cheap we were with assistants, support staff and didn't even have IPads for the players.
It's one thing for these NFL reporters to rally around their league. It's another to spread negative misinformation. Given that it was about his alma mater, he certainly had the resources to check those things before he made a fool of himself.
December 29th, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
just another putz out there shilling for hits, but--ipads have been around for a decade. What kind of news nose do you have to have not to smell BS or pick up the phone before you report something reallly stupid like that?
December 29th, 2014 at 9:51 AM ^
Wait?! WHAT?!!? NO WAY GUYS!!! I just got to work and now this news?!?!
December 29th, 2014 at 9:51 AM ^
Better late then never. Welcome home Jimmy!!
December 29th, 2014 at 9:51 AM ^
Why is it that this makes me feel more worried than vindicated?
December 29th, 2014 at 9:51 AM ^
Since ESPN is reporting it, it must be true....way to catch up Shefty.

Sheesh.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
DELIVER AGAIN
December 29th, 2014 at 10:16 AM ^
I know this opportunity really meant a lot to you.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
Schefter is also reporting the Seahawks won the Super Bowl last year!
December 29th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
Schefter did point out on TV that Bacon and Feldman have already been reporting this
December 29th, 2014 at 9:55 AM ^
It's good to see him finally give credit to Bacon and Feldman and not "multiple reports".
December 29th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
As Brian would say, ESPN has just announced that water is wet. Congratulations on the scoop, guys.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
Uh, yeah. Yep.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:53 AM ^
That was softer than my stool this morning. All he said was that the highest boosters have been told the deal is done. Schefter looks exhausted
December 29th, 2014 at 9:53 AM ^
Muppets please

Pics or it didn't happen

Has the official U of M football page changed it's relationship status to "in a relationship with Jim Harbaugh" yet?
December 29th, 2014 at 9:55 AM ^
Just listened to the end of Mike and Mike. Cris Carter was being a total dick at the end. What a joke.
December 29th, 2014 at 10:08 AM ^
The Buckeye fans fear Harbaugh. They know Michigan is finally getting a big time coach that's a perfect fit. It feels GREAT!
December 29th, 2014 at 10:14 AM ^
What did he say?
December 29th, 2014 at 9:55 AM ^
Thanks for the breaking news.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:56 AM ^
don't say?
December 29th, 2014 at 9:56 AM ^
I have to hand it to ESPN. They were really on top of this!
/s/s/s/s/s/s/s LOL
December 29th, 2014 at 9:56 AM ^
He just said this is what everyone here thought would happen?? As of when?
December 29th, 2014 at 9:56 AM ^
Has been scheduled.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:56 AM ^
In other news, the sun rose in the east today...amazing to me the way people are reacting on twitter like they use ESPN as their sole source of news
December 29th, 2014 at 9:57 AM ^
I'm totally caught off guard with this news! I was under the impression JH to Michigan was nothing but a pipe dream.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:57 AM ^
ayy lmao
December 29th, 2014 at 9:57 AM ^
but I guess that's his job to be certain.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:57 AM ^
..."Give it to me early or give it to me late. But give it to me."
December 29th, 2014 at 9:58 AM ^
I guess schefty needed to throw a smoke screen so he could "break" the news that has been known for at least few days
December 29th, 2014 at 9:58 AM ^
Shechter write this crap with a straight face?
December 29th, 2014 at 9:59 AM ^
to leak a new coach before it's a done deal.
December 29th, 2014 at 11:54 AM ^
One reason ESPN was so late to the party might be Herbstreit's Les Miles fiasco --- no way would he or the network go off half-cocked again. Has Kirk said anything about Harbaugh's impending arrival in AA? If so, I haven't heard it.
December 29th, 2014 at 11:58 AM ^
No way would Kirk or ESPN go off half-cocked again. They needed absolute confirmation before they went with Harbaugh to Michigan.
December 29th, 2014 at 9:59 AM ^
You don't say?
