re: Report: Michigan to offer Harbaugh 6 years/49 Million

I 100% agree with this. It makes no sense to put an offer like this, if true, out to the public. I understand he is their top choice, but if you fail you look really bad and you run the risk of insulting your #2 or #3 guy if you drop his offer very much. imo

I laughed at A&M and their $5 mil gamble, but this offer makes their gamble look tame

Saban to Texas for $10 million a year started floating around this time last year...maybe just to show the world they could afford such an amount. But that was never made public like this Harbaugh news is.

It might have also been made public by someone in Michigan that wants the world to know how ridiculously high the potential offer is...to derail it?

How will Michigan's academia circles care for this?
