If I paid taxes in Michigan I'd be calling for an investigation just because of the offer. Detroit is in the shape it is and tax payers can afford to pay someone $48M?

1st, the Harbaugh has a special place in his heart for the Bears, is a myth. His NFL gig of choice would be a team in California. But his UM roots, preferences of his family, and 8 million a year will land him in Ann Arbor. The Bears will be better off by not chasing a pipe dream and focusing their attention on a more realistic HC target.

I live in Michigan I can say with relative certainty that Michigan has the largest fan base of any program (college or professional) even after years of a mediocre or worse product. The Big House is also one of the biggest stadiums in the country and they almost always find a way to fill it.
Tuition is ~14k for in state students and ~42k for out of state students for ~44k students -43% of which are out of state. These numbers don't take into account graduate students which U of M has a ton of considering they have one of the best medical programs in the country and are a research university.
On top of that Harbaugh would bring projected income to the team as well. So for example they may be paying him 8/yr but they can project an extra 2-3 mil in income.
I live about 45 minutes from Ann Arbor and U of M is buying up all the medical facilities in my city. If they can afford 100's of millions of dollars to buy hospitals and other facilities I'm sure they can afford Jim's salary.
By the way fuck U of M and their obnoxious fans 90% of which have never step foot into a college.

Detroit is basically a walled off preserve from the rest of the state. A 3rd world microkingdom that runs its own affairs and really only concerns itself with the state when it goes to them with its hand out. Michigan should not be viewed negatively because of the cesspit that Detroit is.

It is the largest stadium in the US.
I hear ya... I lived in Michigan for just over 20 years and that used to piss me off. Go Spartans! (My step-daughter went to MSU.)

This.
As I said above, I lived in Michigan for over 20 years. It's really a great state. Detroit should be treated kind of like Washington DC is; it shouldn't really be part of any state... Michiganders aren't embarrassed by Detroit, because most don't really view it as part of the state.

Even Detoilet is getting somewhat better. At least Downtown Detroit. Ford Field, Comerica Park, and the soon to be built new home of the Red Wings is a nice area. Just don't take a single wrong turn.

Yes, he has said that to the local media here in Chicago. I just don't think it will be a factor in his decision, so I stick with my UM/California NFL stance. That said, it would be interesting as hell to see what he could accomplish if he did take job here.

$5m is the going rate but you may need to give him $6m. I don't know what he'd take but what's a couple mil a year to a franchise if they can get their guy?

If he came to the Bears he'd want GM powers also.
No way the Mcshits give one coach with his type of personality essentially full control of the team. Sad but true.

We have been trying to give Detroit to Canada for years, they just want a first round draft pick to take it.
You obviously know nothing about the state. Is it fair to judge Indiana by looking only at Gary? Try Grand Rapids sometimes you clueless fool.
