Rumors from a random Reddit user.
A random user on Reddit's /r/CFB claims to have a family member high up at MSU who has a relative in the Michigan AD. Says that Harbaugh will be announced on the 29th and at the basketball game on the 30th. Seems to just be a rehash of already well assumed rumors, but figured it would be at least something to pass the time away as we recover from all the Christmas cookies and family overload this evening. Here is the post on Reddit.

news?
December 25th, 2014 at 11:30 PM ^
Although nothing new, perhaps just confirmation, but obligatory:

Has a family member who has a relative who is high up... sounds legit.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:43 PM ^
Or just high?
December 26th, 2014 at 10:16 AM ^
that the Edge of the Internet included Ireland.

a person in the elevator, who looked like a meterologist, with a Stanford shirt tell me the weather looked good for next weekend. i think it was a sign.

One of the Christmas gifts I received yesterday was a U of M growler. I immediately noticed, as I admired the label, that I could easily find on it all the letters of the name "Harbaugh".
I believe this to be a sign that " It's Happening " that just can't be ignored. Either that, or a sign that I should have the growler filled today at my local brewpub and again tomorrow at Founder's on my birthday.

A happy birthday to you, sir.

And there's speculation that the #1 QB recruit, Josh Rosen would come with Harbaugh.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:29 PM ^
Kinda OT, but Henson's latest post says that Josh Rosen would come if we get Harbaugh. Man that would be huge.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:59 PM ^
bizarre question. if Harbaugh is not yet signed, can he contact a recruit as an NFL coach? "i am coming so why dont you think about joining me." he is not currently subject to NCAA, except perhaps as a "booster". i wiuld think this is a violatuon of some NCAA rule, unless he doesnt offer cream cheese w the bagel.

If he said this to recruits, it would be all over twitter in seconds. Most recruits probably can't be depended upon to keep that news to themselves.
December 26th, 2014 at 6:26 AM ^
He could work all year without a signed contract. Michigan probably just has to submit the names of the new staff for them to become official as far the NCAA is concerned.
He would certainly be covered by the rules for boosters until he became the coach.
December 26th, 2014 at 10:08 AM ^
This recent MLive article would imply that you need to be registered with the University in order to recruit.
"During Jim's NFL career, he became an NCAA-certified assistant coach for his father's program. He didn't collect a paycheck, but he was able to recruit..."
December 26th, 2014 at 5:37 AM ^
But even if Rosen didn't come here, there are a lot of elite players still out there who are uncommitted. I have to believe if JH were to come here, Michigan could and will make a serious run at some of them. 2015 doesn't have to be a down year in recruiting just because of another coaching change.
December 26th, 2014 at 12:11 PM ^
Plus a bunch of those de-commits will come running back and fast too :)
December 25th, 2014 at 11:29 PM ^
Well if the relative of a relative of an annonymous internet poster says so...
December 25th, 2014 at 11:34 PM ^
Exactly. No one ever lies on the internet! ;)
December 26th, 2014 at 6:34 AM ^
I don't even think it's allowed.
December 26th, 2014 at 8:46 AM ^
He said he's related to a sparty. Who is willing to lie about something like that?
December 25th, 2014 at 11:31 PM ^
So would he hold a press conference like Brady Hoke did? Or is he just going to be introduced at the BB game? I hope he has press conference because it really want to hear him speak.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:37 PM ^
What will Sharp ask him? The world wonders.
December 26th, 2014 at 3:24 AM ^
Actually, I never give that racist, insecure little-man a single thought.
December 26th, 2014 at 7:10 AM ^
I remember Drew asking Hoke about national prominence, but Brady maintained that his goal was big ten championships. Drew butchered him the next day in the paper. So, I would expect some similar question or another question geared to troll the Michigan fan base in his next article.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:38 PM ^
I'm sure there will be a press conference... I think the consensus guess at this point is JH will be formally introduced on the 29th for the media, and the basketball game on the 30th will be his 'public' introduction with the fans and everything.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:48 PM ^
think it might be cool if he did the opposite.
December 26th, 2014 at 8:52 AM ^
there isn;t enough wood in the world for me to knock on so these kind of posts don't jinx us.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:35 PM ^
rabble
December 25th, 2014 at 11:35 PM ^
Standard rumor however with it being Xmas and all it makes sense for family members to spread truths around the tree.
What better gift than that?
December 25th, 2014 at 11:36 PM ^
I'm too drunk to taste this chicken.
December 26th, 2014 at 8:25 AM ^
Mmm frito bandito
December 26th, 2014 at 9:47 AM ^
My Dad worked for Frito-Lay and we had an inflatable Frito Bandito when I was like 5 or 6.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:39 PM ^
It has been too quiet. So, thank you for sharing.
What a Christmas gift this would be.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:41 PM ^
I really fucking hope we don't end up getting a dinosaur egg dropped on our face at the end of this. At this point if it happens the sense of relief will match the excitement.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:46 PM ^
yeah man I hate getting honey potted.
December 26th, 2014 at 1:14 AM ^
Nice. Just watched that movie, was actually pretty funny.

Isn't Tom Harmon the father of Mark Harmon? That would be quite an age difference if they are brothers.

rumor junky. I'm really going to miss the pain whether he gets hired or not.
December 26th, 2014 at 5:51 AM ^
Who negged this? This is the hilarious gif that keeps on giving.
December 26th, 2014 at 8:01 AM ^
I didn't neg it (due to apathy) but it's seriously played out.
December 26th, 2014 at 9:06 AM ^
I think the rumormongering is what's played out. The posting of the monkey rodeo just doesn't get old.
December 25th, 2014 at 11:46 PM ^
I'm fairly certain that this is past the event horizon.
