Harbaugh rumor...
My parents live about 20 minutes north of Ann Arbor, and I just talked to them. Apparently one of their friends is a Real Estate agent that has very recently been showing some extremely high end houses to a "Mrs. Harbaugh." I am still not going to be convinced until it's a done deal, but the stars seem to be aligning at this point... (crosses fingers and prays...)
MOD EDIT - I initially took this down, but you know, it's pretty funny. We'll keep it for a bit longer. - LSA

KEEP FEEDING ME POSITIVE INFORMATION. I COULD CARE LESS WHETHER IT'S FOUNDED IN FACT.

Oh man, I get giddy thinking about the batshit crazy rumors that are still to be thrown out there over the next week and a half.

if/when they do buy a house here, they will likely do it through a shell corporation. Purchasing it in their own names makes their deed, mortgage, and address, a publically available record.

Not that I'm lending credence to the rumor, but this doesn't mean anything. He said one of their family friends is showing a house to a Mrs. Harbaugh. They may very well put the house in the name of a shell corporation for the reasons you state, but that doesn't mean she would introduce herself as "Mrs. Shell Corp. X" when meeting a realtor.

I took a Mrs Hairball to a showing this morning.

What about Mrs Harry Nut?

sorry OP, you got to bring more than that

I believe the Harbaugh's children are in school. Seeing that Jim is a NFL coach and has little free time to watch kids I doubt very much she flew 2000 miles to look at houses.
December 17th, 2014 at 3:51 PM ^
She's looking at them via Skype.
December 17th, 2014 at 3:58 PM ^
Grandpa Jack is looking after them while she is gone!

Is there anyway to pm on this site? I have a source that confirms what you just stated and has emails to prove it. And not Mrs Harbuagh but Jims parents

No but just tell me and I will relay the information accordingly.
In all seriousness

When I get home from work I will send him what I have.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:09 PM ^
Wait? Until after work? That takes a level of discipline I just can't quite wrap my head around.
December 17th, 2014 at 5:30 PM ^
Just to clarify- you're saying that Jim's parents are looking to buy a new home and it is totally unrelated to anything with the coaching search?
December 17th, 2014 at 3:55 PM ^
Email Brian.
Throw some cat .gifs in there too.
December 17th, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
December 17th, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
And real estate?
The only thing this story is missing is Jeff Moss.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:02 PM ^
IF Jim is going to coach in Ann Arbor, his parents will want to move back there as well (I believe they are living in the Milwaukee area). There could really be something to this!
December 17th, 2014 at 4:05 PM ^
whatever you do, don't post the emails. You'll get a RE Agent fired and make Michigan look bad somehow. If you email Brian, then that's your good deed of the week.

"showing" to a Mrs Harbaugh? Couldn't be showing them (at least in person) and be our Mrs. Harbaugh.

I actually read on RCMB "someone should go on the UM board and post a rumor about Mrs. Harbaugh looking for real estate in AA ..."
So even if not a troll (and I assume not since 2009) you accomplished their mission.
December 17th, 2014 at 3:54 PM ^
December 17th, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
Wait - Mrs. Harbaugh reads RCMB and wants to troll the OP? Why would she need a house in Ann Arbor to do that? This stuff is getting confusing.

A friend of my that works at Zingerman's also told me that a part of the "done deal" is that ZIngerman's Deli would name a sandwich after him. He would get full control of what bread, meats, and condiments would go on it. Anyone care to speculate what a HARBAUGH sandwich would contain?

I'm not buying this unless "Mrs. Harbaugh" was wearing a Groucho Marx glasses/ nose/ moustache disguise.

The "house searching" rumor. It's about time you showed up!
Wasn't Gruden looking for houses in AA during the last M coaching search? Also, I live in PA and when Penn St was replacing Paterno, I had someone at my office swear they were getting Urban because he knew someone who was showing houses to Mrs. Meyer. True story.
December 17th, 2014 at 3:53 PM ^
Funny how this board is shooting down this rumor but just freaked out because the 49ers replaced a lectern with a table at a press conference Harbaugh wasn't even speaking at.
December 17th, 2014 at 3:55 PM ^
to the lecture, but the above "rumor" is the typical bullshit we see when high profile head coaching searches are being conducted.
