Harbaugh met with Wheatley at Red Robin tonight

Submitted by MGoVictory on

At 9:55 PM a user posted to the Rivals forums that his boss ran into Harbaugh and Wheatley at Red Robin. His boss was allegedly told, by Harbaugh, that they were finalizing Wheatley's contract. Posters scoffed at the idea of Harbaugh and Wheatley meeting at Red Robin and sharing details regarding the contract with a stranger.

At 11:36 PM a user posted to the Scout forums that his friend took a picture with Harbaugh and Wheatley at Red Robin. Behold:

Maybe the rumors of Wheatley to Michigan being a "done deal" are true. 

Even if not, awesome picture.

I have a trusted source, friend of a friend type deal, who works at Red Robin's corporate office.

Apparently Dave Brandon signed a viral marketing deal with Red Robin just before he was let go. Beginning after the 2014 season, the J. Ira and and Nicki Harris Family Head Football Coach must eat lunch or dinner, unannounced, at a local Red Robin, dressed in Michigan football attire, once every ten months (which, apparently, is the marketing "cooldown time" for these newfangled viral marketing stunts). That he used this opportunity to bring in Wheatley is just a bonus for Red Robin, I guess.

Expect Harbaugh to mention delicious Red Robin burgers at his next presser, lick his lips, and wink at the camera.

1)  I was at that Red Robin after the Illinois game, why couldn't JH and TW have come through then?

2)  That is a kickass puffer coat.  Do want.

I really didn't think it was share worthy but now I guess I should. Harbaugh was at my job (Knight's Downtown) on Sunday and on New Year's. Both times he was meeting with potential staffers but I didn't get the chance to check out who they were. I didn't want to be like the people snapping selfies while he was trying to eat lol....
