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

at MGOBLOG.............that's just the way it is.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:13 PM ^
for your bravery, regardless of the validity of your rumor.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
I appreciate you trying to spread information. However, if you've been here for 5 years, then you would know that starting a rumor thread that is based on extremely thin info you heard from your parents, which they heard from a friend, is kinda rediculous. If there's something everyone here has learned its that unless you are Jim Hackett or Harbaugh, no one is close enough to this situation to claim any kind of inside information. Honostly, the fact that you think this is "inside info" tells me you're just trying to look cool.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:21 PM ^
Honostly, it's slightly less rediculous than you think.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
Regardless of whether the rumor is true or false, after five years on this blog you shouldn't be surprised about the reaction you're getting. :)

I have no reason not to believe you.... although I know my opinion doesn't matter a whole lot since I'm a newbie around these parts (lurked for a number of years on/off)
December 17th, 2014 at 6:01 PM ^
I would recommend you not rise to the bait and call people f******s; it only makes you look defensive, venial, and pouty - and it detracts from any credibility that you may have had in the first place.

so being here 5 years and never started a rumor makes this credible? Well my dad is illuminati and he said and I quote "It's happening!"
December 17th, 2014 at 4:06 PM ^
I have intel from an undergraduate friend at UM that Mrs. Harbaugh and Jim were canoodling at Rick's early this morning.
Disclaimer: Can't verify the number of fishbowls that had been consumed at the time of the sighting.

She was looking at houses in Saline. It doesn't matter where my parents live, other than the fact that it's close to the University, IMO.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:12 PM ^
I seriously believe you but my source said it was his parents shopping, so the other Mrs Harbuagh.

If this can be somehow confirmed (and I wonder if Brian will only hint at it if it's the case) then I am downing the "Harbaugh is sealed and delivered" Kool Aid in great, messy gulps. No way his parents just happen to be moving back to AA while all of this is happening. I will accept the existential crisis that will come with being wrong if it somehow were to be a conincidence.

Who knows? If nothing, it's entertaining.

One of the first mistakes that Rich Rod made was to purchase a 12,000 +/- square foot house in Saline. Most of the former coaches iive in Ann Arbor. John Beiline purchased an expensive house as well, but it is in Ann Arbor and one might run into him at a local grocery store, restaurant or church.
Ann Arbor can be a funny town with certain expectations of the new members in the athletic department.
Please say it ain't so as far as Saline goes.
December 17th, 2014 at 5:28 PM ^
What the hell else is he gonna use 8 million dollars for? If you think he'd buy a 2500 sf house in the middle of Ann Arbor you're nuts.
Also Rich Rod's house was only 5,600 sf.

December 17th, 2014 at 5:34 PM ^
Why is it SO hard for people to spell Beilein's name right?
December 17th, 2014 at 5:38 PM ^
But I didn't spell his name when we had a nice chat in Trader Joe's.

I before E except after B (and L).

Don Canham lived on Newcastle in Ann Arbor
Bo lived on Arlington in Ann Arbor
Bob Ufer lived on Glenwood in Ann Arbor
All within a 1 mile radius.
Now if you tell me Mrs Harbaugh is seeking homes on Overidge or Devonshire, I'll listen.
December 17th, 2014 at 6:08 PM ^
Roll in Ann Arbor............folks who live here and give millions of dollars to UM feel strongly that way.
December 17th, 2014 at 6:06 PM ^
E before I, BOTH TIMES
December 17th, 2014 at 4:07 PM ^
It's his mom. Jack is considering taking the job if Jim won't.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:27 PM ^
Jack Harbaugh >>>>>> Schiano
December 17th, 2014 at 6:14 PM ^
Hey he's the same age as Bill Snyder!
Oh and guess what his wife's name is...Jackie. Mind blown.
December 17th, 2014 at 5:38 PM ^
Jack over Schiano any day. In fact, I take Jack's wife to get the job over Schiano.

This exact same rumor was out for Les Miles in 07 and I think 11 too.
The "so and so is shopping for houses in [you favorite team's town]" is mentioned in every coaching search
December 17th, 2014 at 4:14 PM ^
BUT, in every coaching change there has to be house shopping being done right? I mean they have to have an idea where they're going to live before accepting the job.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:14 PM ^
Maybe it was John's wife!
December 17th, 2014 at 4:16 PM ^
BULL SHIT
December 17th, 2014 at 4:22 PM ^
I'm 20 miles east of Ann Arbor. Looks like they won't be my neighbor.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:25 PM ^
There are some Harbaughs (unrelated to the Jack Harbaugh clan) who live in, or have lived in, the Ann Arbor area. Presumably, this "Mrs. Harbaugh" (if she exists) could be one of these individuals.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:29 PM ^

Yeah, a ton of Harbaughs in Michigan.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:29 PM ^
December 17th, 2014 at 4:29 PM ^
this rumor came up it didn't end well for Michigan.
December 17th, 2014 at 4:30 PM ^
December 17th, 2014 at 4:33 PM ^
Nothing to see here
December 17th, 2014 at 4:31 PM ^
He did post it as a rumor, not an e-fact.
