Great for the Big 10 conference. Harbaugh has won, and won quickly everywhere he's been. I'm honestly expecting Michigan to be a playoff contender next year, they have the talent, just needed the coach.

Michigan has the money...They wouldn't offer if they didn't.
They without a doubt hired "up". MU fans are excited and "can't wait" while NU fans are stuck in "wait and see..."
Big difference about the excitement behind the hires. Excitement drives revenue.
edit: before I get blasted, even the fans excited about Riley have said to "give him a chance", "wait and see"...Most fans are more excited about the absence of Bo rather than the presence of Riley. There is a lot of doubt in Nebraska. I don't get the sense of that in Michigan.

True, but I think Michigan is going to be paying for this hire for many years to come. I don't see Harbaugh staying in the college ranks for long. I'm not impressed with him as a coach either.

If he leaves on his own, they will owe nothing, heck, they might even get paid handsomely from the buyout. Nebraska's coach may also potentially retire in 5 years, or he may coach for 15 more. Same with Harbaugh. At least Harbaugh roots at Michigan that will help to keep him there.
Honest question, why are you not impressed?

Well, he would have $48 million reasons.

I can't really pinpoint why. But there's just something about him that makes me believe Michigan sold its soul to the devil if they do in fact hire him. Looking at his coaching record, he had two decent seasons at Stanford but his first two were losing seasons. At San Fran, he seems to have lost control of his teams with some reports saying he's not respected. Plus he comes across as a whiny a$$ b!^@h.

His 4 win season was a drastic improvement and he had them in BCS bowls his fourth year. He also has made the 49ers a force again. I can see him lose some respect in the NFL locker rooms, he doesn't seem to coddle players. That is what scares me about him at Michigan. He will turn it into a powerhouse again, my gut feeling.
Some see whiny, I see intense. That stuff doesn't bother me. I felt the same way about Pelini, that is the only way I'll compare the two. Harbaugh is a better coach and will win more games..

Next season will be interesting to say the least.
