NOOOOO!!!!
Where is the monkey going?! Jay Glazer don’t know what he's talking about.
COME BACK MONKEY!!!
December 28th, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
I got the impression that he says Harbaugh is keeping his cards close to his vest, even though Feldman basically reported it's a done deal. Glazer also didn't rule out the RAiders, just that they'll be waiting for his decision. Which at this point sounds like official
December 28th, 2014 at 1:43 PM ^
giving so many people close to him to believe that he is coming, he severely damages his reputation and even harms his marketability. This thing is now as close to a done deal as a thing can be before an official announcement.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
Good one Jay. THE SHIELD!!!!!!!!
December 28th, 2014 at 1:53 PM ^
Just like I'm still strongly in play for Kate Upton---she's still single, I'm divorced, and the two of us actually had eye contact in her hometown (Stevensville/ St Joe area) just over a year ago (True story!). Until she's Mrs. Verlander, I'm in the running.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:04 PM ^
I've been in St Joe before.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:15 PM ^
I also plan on asking WD to be Ring-Bearer and Mabel Pines (she's so cute!) to be Flower Girl.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:15 PM ^
if MgoGrendel can't make it i volunteer. in fact rob, if you want a big wedding party i'll bring my 5 sons. they're a hoot.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:26 PM ^
These Kate and Rob wedding plans are coming together very well! Much, much better than the plans of the Raiders.
December 28th, 2014 at 6:16 PM ^
to celebrate the nuptials. congratulations rob f.
i'll send a note to justin, better luck next time mr. $125 million dollar guy.
December 28th, 2014 at 3:36 PM ^
Well, my first wife was from St. Joe and i used to play football against Lakeshore High School--which is in Stevensville--so i MUST be headed into the arms of Ms. Upton. Just waiting for a Glazer tweet to confirm same.
December 28th, 2014 at 3:40 PM ^
Except i'm already married AND SO THE HELL IS JMFH TO MEEEEECHIGAN!!!
December 28th, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
NFL ticker at the bottom of the screen says the Raiders "remain in the running" for Harbaugh's services. Protect the shield!

Sam Webb disagrees (this maybe should be a new thread):
Summation per multiple sources (including one within 49ers organization) - Michigan Expecting to Name Harbaugh Coach http://t.co/3dRTBHfYiu
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) December 28, 2014
Per a league source - "Just got word that the Michigan plane is here to take him and his wife to Ann Arbor on Monday." Here = San Francisco.

Glazer must not have his good stool to talk from today.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
Just like The WWL in sports reporting that UM is "optimistic" about landing Harbaugh
December 28th, 2014 at 1:17 PM ^
Nope
Or perhaps it is all relative to NFL teams in general. They are all at the same odds of "no chance."

Glazer has come across as very professional and cautious. His sources are obviously nfl guys and he is being fed the nfl side of things. I don't think he's wrong, the raiders probably are waiting for jh to tell them no.

I really hope nobody takes this as political or saying anything about the war, but if you look Baghdad Bob up he's got a kind of crazy life story where he went from low level party guy to being on TV in front of who knows how many people almost instantly. The US captured him and released him almost immediately because nobody thought he had any insider info and he ended up working as a talking head for a big news outlet in the middle east a couple years later.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:08 PM ^
Thanks for this info. Baghdad Bob appears to have made the most of his 15 minutes of fame!
December 28th, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
Uh, Jay, Jim HAS told Michigan.
Glazer just tweeted this:
"Anddddd I'm saying Raiders are still hopeful they have a shot at him and will be until they are told by him or his people he's going to Mich"
December 28th, 2014 at 1:22 PM ^
Doesn't this blog count as "his people?"
December 28th, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
#Raiders owner Mark Davis told me last night that GM Reggie McKenzie will be involved with him in head coach interviews that start Monday.

One note on #Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie: I’m told he has two years left on an original five-year deal. Makes it more costly to fire him.

L.M.A.O.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
Glazer's sources are people in Oakland management. They say they will make a run at him, which makes them still in the hunt. Harbaugh will tell them no thanks, but don't hate the guy for reporting there is still interest from the Raiders.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:18 PM ^
that a number of people in the media are merely shills. . . If Glazer is making ridiculous comments like this, either a) he's very very stupid or b) someone is having him act as a conduit so that these are actually messages being sent out to the Harbaugh camp.
All the years of watching west wing has made me conclude the latter possibility.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:18 PM ^
I get the feeling the Raiders *think* they are still in it, and the NFL reporters are getting their info from that organization and not actually from Harbaugh.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:19 PM ^
Jim Harbaugh's family is flying to Ann Arbor Monday source tells @FoxSports. Harbaugh will be #Wolverines next head coach.
Michigan plane in Bay area to bring Jimmy and the family home! Well done Mr. Hackett!
December 28th, 2014 at 1:19 PM ^
Clayton is probably the best NFL reporter there is, so I'll go with what he says.
December 28th, 2014 at 2:30 PM ^
Did Clayton show any humility over how wrong he's been? He was on Detroit's 105.1 a couple of weeks ago at most. Was asked about Harbaugh and he only mentioned NFL jobs...Oakland, the Jets, etc. The host had to prod him about Michigan and he very dismissively said no, no chance.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:19 PM ^
Yah, and so is my grandma.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
will be done with.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
I will believe as soon as I hear it from Hackett or Harbaugh, and no one else. Hopefully that will be soon.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:20 PM ^
It's because the NFL writers are paid to spin things in favor of the league. That Michigan was able to steal a coveted coach away from the almighty National Football League is not a storyline they want to run with. Their "reporters" and "insiders" have battled this all along, and the fact that major newspapers and networks have published their "reports" as actual news is as glaring an indictment of the sad state of the shoddy, rush-to-publish-first, click-based media as any I've seen, and I'm in the business. We win. They lose. ###
December 28th, 2014 at 1:32 PM ^
To call these guy "writers" is a disservice to true journalist everywhere.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:54 PM ^
Yep. There's been way too much speculation by the traditional media. I'm also a journalist (in television news) and I'm surprised at how wildly different the reporting has been. It seems like some reporters are assuming things will play out a certain way and not bothering to check with multiple sources.
Journalists in general take a lot of flak, but a number of sports reporters on this story deserve it for practicing irresponsible journalism. They make all journalists look bad.
December 28th, 2014 at 1:22 PM ^
That's weird because 2 weeks ago John Clayton said Harbaugh would NOT return to the college game.
Who to believe?

December 28th, 2014 at 1:22 PM ^
he just backtracked and said Feldman and Bacon are more reliable than him..so it's probably just bullshit

Fox has backtracked on Glazer's claim. Feldman article now on the front page. Article says "Prior to reaching an agreement... Glazer had reported".
