If Harbaugh does come in tomorrow, he's probably the odds-on guy to be HC

Jim Harbaugh is a successful college and professional coach coming of Michigan's best year in football in decades. He wouldn't fly in, have it be national news (which will impact recruiting) if he wasn't absolutely serious about it. I know this has been said by others, but I agree. I know O'Connell is high on the list and should be....but my guess is that the Wilfs are going to be impressed with Harbaugh. Its going to be very interesting. Kwesi is going in with eyes wide open.

Harbaugh is Kwesi's guy already. The interview is to convince the Wilfs, Brez, et al.


Are you suggesting that Kwesi isn't really the GM or a lesser version of one where he needs approval for his hires?

What NFL g.m. can just hire or fire a head coach with no ownership input or approval?  Can't think of one.   Particularly a guy in his first ever g.m. job.

Wilfs are signing the checks. I'm going to guess they get a say in high profile matters.

I can choose to believe either:

Kwesi believes Harbaugh has the same values
Kwesi would put aside those values for Harbaugh

My guess

Interview never happens after Michigan backs up the Brinks truck


This could happen. Tomorrow is a long time away in the interview world. 


Very prophetic, with the nuclear bomb dropped by Flores today. 

(and nuke bomb is the term chosen by the nation's leading sports blog "HOLY SHIT, Brian Flores just dropped a nuclear bomb on the NFL right as Goodell was getting the Super Bowl hype machine revved up."

Since the Vikes just hired a black GM, they prolly inoculated.  

JH tonight...."Kwesi, Zygi's plane still scheduled for Ann Arbor tomorrow morning?"
