Gregg Henson, Art Regner, Sam Webb and I have been reporting all of the latest Jim Harbaugh to Michigan news for weeks now. I believe a lot of the reporting has been similar because we are dealing with some of the same sources.
What has been absent is any real info coming from any of the Detroit sports media members. Where have Mark Snyder, Angelique Chengelis or any of the columnists been on this story?
Why has a flame-throwing blogger and a Pittsburgh radio program director been getting all of the scoops? Well, something seemed to change last night when milquetoast Detroit News columnist Bob Wojnowski Tweeted out the following:
Michigan is dealing with unpredictable candidates, “changes of heart,” etc. But there’s a reason this is entering its third week….

What possessed Wojo to jump into the fray all of a sudden? Well, my sources have informed me that Michigan radio voice Jim Brandstatter has been telling his media friends that he expects Harbaugh to take the U of M job and it is just a question of the timing of the San Francisco buyout now.
That’s the sea change. This info is now coming from someone whom the Detroit media establishment trusts. That’s why Wojo Tweeted what he did last night. This wasn’t coming from his former boss Henson or from his pal Regner.
Nope, this latest news was coming from Brandstatter. Not that it is any confirmation of Brandstatter offering his well-informed opinion to the media (I received that from a VERY reliable source) but you can check out Brandstatter’s Twitter timeline from last night where Wojo and Brandymancan were yukking it up.
Stay tuned for further developments. Maybe today we will discover Robbie Timmons’ opinion on Harbaugh to Michigan.
