PTI on ESPN just said Harbaugh is going to the Football Bust

Maybe it hit the board earlier and I didn't see it, but it's not really old news because it was being reported that he wouldn't be there.

Well then they went 1 for 3. I'll let you figure out which one they were right on.

I thought I heard Wilbon say that they should fire RR and bring in Harbaugh?

Dan Patrick, on his radio show also said that Harbaugh was coming to the banquet.  But I doubt they have the facts straight.

That's not how coaching changes work. It's all about meeting in dark alleys or undisclosed locations and communicating only in hand signals, head nods or a near dead dialect of coach speak. "No" means "yes", "yes" means "no" and "maybe" means "set the place on fire and run."

Trust me, I learned all about it from Les Miles.

lol i doubt it would help with attrition..  A lot of players specifically went there to play for RR, not just to go to michigan

But since Brandon has made it clear that RR is the coach for the bowl (if not beyond), how exactly would Harbaugh address the team?  Think RR would be okay with that?

I hope he doesn't come to the Bust.  I don't want it to turn into a circus.  The Bust is, above all, about honoring the graduating seniors from the 2010 team - guys who won't play for Harbaugh in any event. 

So what, in the middle of the bust, Harbaugh is going to walk up to the current players and start addressing them.  Would his address start out with:

"Hi, my name is Jim Harbaugh.  You may remember me from such great moments in Michigan history as the 1985  OSU game.  While DB has not addressed the topic publicly, let me give you guys some inside info - RR is gone.  Canned.  Fired.  What's his deal anyway?  Since I will be announced as your HC on January 2, let's take some time to get to know one another . . ."

As for talking about his "feeling for Michigan Football," again, do you just expect him to run up on stage, gram the mic and profess his love.  I am imagining RR getting up to address the crowd when JH stands up, bumps RR aside and grabs the mic Kanye West style and says: "Look, I just want everyone here to know that I love Michigan football.  I do.  I still know the fight song by heart.  Don't believe me?  Well here it is.  (JH proceeds to sing the entire fight song perfectly in tune).  I want to be your coach.  I bleed blue and I piss maize - no, really, I piss maize.

This just makes no sense.  If JH wants to campaign for the job, I imagine that as a former FB great, he can get in touch with DB pretty easily in private.

If he stands up in the middle of the bust and starts "addressing" the team, I DEFINITELY want him as our coach.  That'd be ballsy, man.

arrogant, hateful pricks who talk shit and get it all wrong much of the time.  Just that.

i don't mind WIlbon, but K-Heiser is a total douche.  He never has anything positive to say about anything.

Harbaugh flies private (http://www.cbssports.com/columns/story/12125965

Now that Wilbon is about to officially no longer work at the Post, neither of them are journalists. They are commentators and their purpose is to sensationalize...which I might add they do a generally fantastic job at (I guess ESPN pays better than the WaPo). 

Just curious (and didn't want to start a thread to ask), but has Harbaugh been getting bombarded with questions about the Michigan speculation at press conferences and other media events?  I haven't seen anything here, and was curious.  Remember last year when Kelly was the front runner for the ND job, even before Big Charlie was fired, Kelly was being repeatedly asked about his interest in the ND job, forcing a series of "right now, I am just focussed on preparing my team to play . . ." responses.

Can't say I do. 

Desmond was on the search committee with Dave Brandon in 2007.  Brandon's pimp hand has instructed Desmond how to prevent the "Herbie Cock Block" from happening again.

Knowing this fact, I wonder how tenuous RR's position has to be, as Desmond's support for him has been tepid at best.

Herbie had nothing to say to that.

It was awesome.
