OK - this is kinda new Harbaugh info
Many people have been hitting F5 all morning so I spied on another site and found a comment like this:
Sources within Schembechler Hall said to look for a very special announcement at halftime of the Illinois BBall game on Dec. 30th.Sounds about right (as a rumor)

I would hope the AD would be smart enough to not pull that kind of bait and switch in real-time.
If it's not Harbaugh, give us some time to process and vent before you parade the new guy in front of us.
Unless it's Saban or Stoops. Then I think we can handle it.
Now what would be really awesome is if it was Urban Meyer and absolutely nobody knew anything about it, and he just showed up at the illinois game halftime in a Michigan hat to be announced as the new Michigan coach. The crowd reaction would be all-time epic.

Not applicable because it's happening dot gif.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:46 AM ^
Similar info was also tweeted by a political reporter who said he had a source--the same source that predicted Brandon would be AD.
More general but also good info (SIAP)
Optimistic interview with Balas (whose optimism has been slow to develop). Notes that even Tom Brady called JH to tell him to come back home. Also notes that JH's wife would want to stay in AA a long time for stability with their children. In addition, JH is very close to his father who is 75 and would like to spend more time with him (Jack would also move back to AA).

That Balas interview was loaded with good information. Thank you.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:28 AM ^
Chobani signed an extension???!!!!!!!!!
December 24th, 2014 at 10:28 AM ^
I mean....he's still available. He wants a job, we have a job. Seems like a win-win to me!
Kidding, only kidding.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:28 AM ^
I heard the same rumor.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:28 AM ^
Why would they wait until halftime to announce something like Harbaugh coming?
I guess it's better than Beyonce on the jumbotron saying "Go Blue" though.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:33 AM ^
more UM dominating the airwaves
December 24th, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
Well, the presser would be sometime Tuesday afternoon and then Harbaugh would be introduced to the fans as the new head coach at halftime of the basketball game. And then, because he's Jim Harbaugh and kind of fucking insane, he'll guarantee a win against OSU.
Like Tressel did.
EDIT: Or like he did, 30 years ago, I suppose.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
Tressel was imitating Harbaugh, who first guaranteed a win vs Ohio (as a player)
December 24th, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
Everyone guarantees wins in the game. Harbaugh and Tressel just delivered.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
I just did not like the idea of having JH portrayed as imitating Tressel. Thanks for adding your edit.

"You'll be proud of our young people, in the classroom, in the community, and most especially, in 310 days, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the football field."
December 24th, 2014 at 11:18 AM ^
How did that classroom and community stuff work out for ya, Jim?
December 24th, 2014 at 10:30 AM ^
These guys are coming back?
Trey Burke
Mitch McGary
Nik Stakaus
GR III
They would all still have eligibility left.
December 24th, 2014 at 11:13 AM ^
Isnt' that crazy? Just for fun, I sometimes let myself think about what kind of team we'd have if these guys all stayed in school. We could beat the 76ers.
December 24th, 2014 at 11:19 AM ^
It's not healthy to think about it.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:31 AM ^
The information that the OP mentions was alluded to on the Big House Blog yesterday, after a little research, but perhaps not surprisingly, the source was ThoseWhoStay7, now known as HeWhoWent7 after what appears to be a bit of scrape with whomever didn't want some information out in space. It has been posted in other places from the look of things as well.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
HeWhoWent7
Brilliant.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:40 AM ^
Just heard from a source who first told me Dave Brandon was gone as AD that Harbaugh is scheduled to be at hoops game on 12/30. We'll see.

Didn't see this posted anywhere - was posted yesterday evening
How the hell did that escape the MGoDragnet?
December 24th, 2014 at 10:57 AM ^
I think it will be great if he comes but you get the feeling a lot of the fans will expect him to play for the national champinship in his first year. Considering the players he has to work with especially at the quarterback slot if we go six and six in 2015 and make it to a bowl game I would be happy with that. At least it will show some improvement.
December 24th, 2014 at 11:12 AM ^
D returns a lot, as Ryan and Clark weren't spectacular this year, anyways. Older and healthy Peppers, and decent back 7 depth.
Add phenomenal coaching to that, and I think we have a fighting chance.

That actually would be pretty awesome. I hope we do that.

Harbaughmas everyone

December 24th, 2014 at 10:37 AM ^
That literally could be anything.
We should probably be spending time with our families right now. Damn you HC search!
December 24th, 2014 at 10:37 AM ^
it means the actual 1989 team shows up in the 2nd half to beat Illinois one more time.
December 24th, 2014 at 10:38 AM ^
Tuesday!!!!
