It has happened. Jim Harbaugh will be Michigan's head coach starting Tuesday. The race to tell you water is wet is on in earnest, but with even ESPN grudgingly admitting it, it's 100%. These four gentlemen were the first:
I just got off the phone with more sources tonight. It's done. Jim Harbaugh is coming to Michigan - and his friends are flying in Monday.

Jim Harbaugh's family is flying to Ann Arbor Monday, source tells @FoxSports. Harbaugh will be #Wolverines new head coach.

Summation per multiple sources (including one within 49ers organization) - Michigan Expecting to Name Harbaugh Coach http://t.co/3dRTBHfYiu

John Clayton is saying it's "100%" with Harbaugh pinging NFL assistants about their desire to come with him; there is an army of comically out of touch NFL people saying the Raiders aren't dead yet without even considering what the 49ers would prefer—not the Raiders.
It's done.

Lots of effort went into securing Harbaugh to Michigan. Hats off to Jim Hackett and all those who contributed. Well done.
I feel like the "heart" of Michigan football, will beat louder and stronger now. There will be an outpouring of love in Ann Arbor on Tues., and from anywhere and everywhere that Michigan fans and alumni reside.
Do you think they may someday rename Ann Arbor, Ann Arbaugh???
GO BLUE

I'm here to join the party before it crashes (*crashes* due to exuberance).

I grew up and learned to love Michigan through the Anthony Carter, Bo, and theJim Harbaugh years. Literally the reason why I went there. I had no idea when I jokingly chose my mgoblog user name that Harbaugh would actually come back from the west coast and choose us again. Must be something really special about the school and this man to make this happen. Wow. Hope is here again! So proud and excited for the year to come...crazy Harbooya baggage and all!
Go Mf'ing blue!

Glad to know I was not the only one doing that, all the time. At home, on the road and at work. All my wife does it shake her head, "they hire that Harbaugh guy yet". Will not hear that anymore.
What a great Day!!
Go Blue
I wish I was in Ann Arbor on Tuesday.

I'll be watching the 49ers game this afternoon...hoping for a close-up of a grinning Hackett in the stands...

Also, this post feels like a middle finger to Glazer and Co. today. I don't disapprove in the least. Fuck em.

Some people may not like this because of what he's just accomplished...
But I wouldn't be surprised if he steps down soon. I feel like his job was just to make this hire.
Is part of the reason Jim came because he was told part of the deal was helping in the selection of a permanent AD?
I'm by no means knocking him, but would love to see someone with AD experience running the AD. Maybe JH can do it well. But I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the intent when he was given the interim job.
