http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/201…
In an interview with The Detroit News at halftime of Wednesday's Minnesota-Michigan game at Crisler Center, Hackett said he's working on future football schedules, finalizing the details of the $169-million Nike contract and finishing up the long-term contract for football coach Jim Harbaugh.
"About done," Hackett said of the Harbaugh pact, which originally was for seven years and about $5.7 million annually. "We should have news on that soon.

It could be Harbaughs idea or perhaps Hackett just wants to set up the program for long term success and continue to add to his legacy in the process. He sees a good thing and wants to lock it down. A huge extension will also eliminate the negative recruiting in regards to him going back to the NFL and show everybody that he's here for the long haul.

Need to make this a life-long contract with Harbaugh chained to A2!

I'm surprised the Pulling Scholarship Police are not hijacking this thread with pitch forks. Wait...they still want Harbaugh as a coach?

The fact an extension is being worked on leads me to believe that the next AD is fairly well known, or at least they are down to a very short list, all of which JH is comfortable with.
