CC- An interesting Reddit comment
Edit: The reddit user is elduderino01. I don't know if it has anything to do with the rdt/wiab junk that everyone is babbling about.
Like everything else relating to the coaching search, take this with a grain/bucket of salt. That said, two things lend this at least a little bit of credibility. 1. He's an Alabama fan, yet knows a suspicious amount about the inner workings of U-M -- far more than any random Alabama fan could really be expected to. 2. He has a 5 year old account. Generally on reddit, the older your account is, the more credible you are. At the very least it means you're not there simply to troll. Take it for what it's worth. I'm not presenting this as a fact.

"According to my source ( a fella who works in their Athletic Department and is a friend of my brother who is a faculty member there, and who correctly called the timelines for both the former AD and Head Coaches being fired earlier this season... ) Harbaugh to UM has been pretty much and agreement in principal for almost a month, and as of this past week the deal is done. harbaugh will be e next head football coach at UM... It also makes plenty of sense, certainly more sense than continuing to work for the Yorks or to start new with the Davis's.... Oh and for what its worth, it is the family that owns the Miami Dolphins who were so instrumental in getting this done. Apparently theyre also huge UM boosters and they are writing the blank check. As well Lloyd Carr and his backers on the Board of Regents have given their blessing as well. Harbaugh has been assured he will have carte blanch when it comes to football operations in A2"

Does he also have an account in bag form?
December 6th, 2014 at 5:19 PM ^
I'm eskimo brothers with Lane Kiffen, and he texted me earlier that Saban to UM is a done deal and he's taking over head coach at Bama after this season

Did you meet him at the EBDBB&B?
December 6th, 2014 at 6:26 PM ^
While he was there, did he have the EBDB B&B BLT?

elduderino01 is the one who made the comment. Sorry, I was lost there for a moment.
December 6th, 2014 at 5:11 PM ^
I must assume you are unfamiliar with the RDT/WiaB story...
December 6th, 2014 at 5:14 PM ^
You would be correct. I made this account 2.5 yrs ago but have only been active fairly recently. So, I am decidedly out of that loop.
December 6th, 2014 at 5:20 PM ^
Who is this rdt guy?
December 6th, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
There was a user named Roll Damn Tide here who claimed to be a Bama fan, and would share what he was hearing down there about Michigan recruits. It usually was very optimistic for Michigan. Then Wolverine in a Bag accidentlly forgot which account he was signed into and outed himself as also being Roll Damn Tide. There was some story about how there originally was a Bama friend of Wolverine in a Bag who had the Roll Damn Tide account, but got bored and gave control to Wolverine in a Bag.
December 6th, 2014 at 5:31 PM ^
Ohhhhhhhh so it wasn't rolldamntide on reddit? Ok. Well, I'm not sure that has any bearing on this guy's comment then. Who knows.
December 6th, 2014 at 6:53 PM ^
that he made up his mind last Sunday. So the rumor that Harbaugh has been negotiating for a month stretches credulity. Also, I have no doubt had Hoke beat Maryland and OSU, he would have been retained.
Now it may be JH is negotiating and reaching an agreement with Michigan but it all happened this week after the firing of Hoke.
That said, it is curious that Vegas has reduced the odds of Harbaugh becoming the HC of Michigan from 8-1 to 2-1 just in this past week. Something is afoot.
December 6th, 2014 at 7:34 PM ^
Well, that's what he said. I don't know if I've ever heard anyone say, "we made the decision to fire the coach three weeks ago."
December 6th, 2014 at 5:00 PM ^
I so hope he's right.
December 6th, 2014 at 6:10 PM ^
Take it for what it is (which is little and defintely not a party room style statement), but I have a fraternity brother whose father is a big donor to the AD. He sent me a message last Friday on Gchat and said that the Harbaugh deal is done and they are just waiting for it to get signed. Said he heard from within the AD. If this adds anything to it, the kid put a lot of money on Harbaugh to Michigan at 8 to 1 odds.
Obviously sounds like a ridiculous statement, and I am generally not one to perpetuate such, but he is very looped in and his speak + bet seams to show he is very confident.
December 6th, 2014 at 6:12 PM ^
The more people who say they heard this from someone, the more faith I put in it (probably just to be disappointed). Unless everyone is lying, the rumor seems to be widespread.
December 6th, 2014 at 7:13 PM ^
You don't seem to understand how rumors work.
December 6th, 2014 at 7:35 PM ^
Or just selective attention. For every rumor that Harbaugh is coming there is a rumor that he is not.
December 6th, 2014 at 7:49 PM ^
Would that be illegal? like insider trading sorta?

where the party's at?
December 7th, 2014 at 2:02 AM ^
is The Party Room.
December 6th, 2014 at 11:12 PM ^
This just doesn't make sense, if so many people knew that this was a done deal there would not be so many conflicting reports. No way the entire AD and a bunch of donors know Harbaugh is a done deal but somehow you have people who report on Michigan for a living and have proven sources are getting conflicting imformation, this just sounds like bull to me.

It's only in a limited release, being an independent film and all. I read on IMDB that it's scheduled for a wide release in Summer 2015 to compete with Avengers 2

I hope this is true because hell yeah. Until there's a press conference, it means nothing.

This sounds....familiar.
December 6th, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^
It would make sense if they have a tacit agreement with someone who isn't officially available yet. That would mean either someone who is coaching today or someone who is in the NFL.
December 6th, 2014 at 5:02 PM ^
Sweet.
