So in order to not waste any time once the dead period ends, Michigan's resident dangerously unhinged HC will be at the door of the nation's top kicker at 0001 exactly to get on it. The kid is taking his official to UM this weekend but apparently he needs some extra courting as well with the most in home of in home visits.
This man is insane, but damn can he coach and is hilarious at the same time.
"He told me if I had a 6-foot-3 inch piece of carpet for him to sleep on, that would be enough. I said we have guest rooms, and he said 'Tell you what, I'll just sleep on the floor in your room.' I said 'Coach, I have Penn State stuff all over my walls.' He said, 'Tell you what, I can help you take it down.'"

Awesome, creepy and unfortunately likely to be a trend setter
Yeah...because nothing tells a teenage boy that it's safe to come spend 4 years away from his parents like when a middle aged man offers to spend the night on his bedroom floor.
Nothing creepy there...
j/k- Not suggesting that there's anything wrong with Harbaugh, I just don't think I would allow that if I were the parent.
All kidding aside, that is creepy.
first we will spend the night and then we will spend the next four years.
And for a kicker no less...
I want to believe he was joking, but being that this is Jim Harbaugh I wouldn't doubt he was totally serious. That man might be the most intense person on the planet.
Also, sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight.

The image that image inspires
Why did you post that image in response to itself?
Oh, I see. Different shirt.
EXIT LIGHT, ENTER NIGHT, ENTER THE HOKIES
Explains Penn State.
..this gif...
Makes zero sense to me.
Cartoons, man. Cartoons.
That just doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't his fist just pass through the portal like the rest of his body, and later arm?? And if it didn't wouldn't that cut his fist and/or arm off?
He gets his arm through before the glass completely breaks.
Did he learn nothing?!?!
anybody else think of this after reading his comments..

Harbaugh is clearly having some fun with this, but that really is what you call recruiting.
"tell you what, I'll just curl up at the foot of your bed and keep your tooties warm while you sleep"
"Thanks for letting me sleep over, Mrs. Nordin!"
"...Um, sure. You're welcome... Coach"
"Can we have pizza rolls?"
"...I'm sorry. I couldn't get to the store today."
I saw that somewhere on Twitter. It made me chuckle just like it did this time
So did I.
Harbaugh's prepared. He brought his own pizza rolls just in case.
Yeah... offering to sleep over in a recruits bedroom.... If I was that recruit, this would be me right now...
Def creepy! We should make jokes at his expense!
....but don't be surprised if it works. Ugh. I hate it when stupid shit like this works and the entire system goes up to another level of stupidness.
I'm not sure how to work this into the thread but it needs to be seen.
OK, that's funny as hell. Love the part where the whole team turns (almost) in unison.
I have a plethora of Harbaugh gifs at my disposal. The dude is a walking gif factory.
This thread is a witness to that.
Scary dude.
I mean, if he prefers sleeping in recruit's bedrooms, I can't blame him for not wanting the cameras on him all the time
True, but it's the complete and utter disbelief that makes this funny. The gif reminds me of:
I wonder if he has a Penn State shower curtain...
Aaaaand we might have found the line and stepped right up to it....
Maybe he's going to show him how to kick.......
Seriously though, I don't think I'd want this discussion occuring between a coach and my son. I mean I don't think that Harbaugh is some pederass
but it just seems weird.
That is just... so.... wrong....
But hilarious...
I can see the conversation between the mother of the kicker, the kicker, and Coach Harbaugh going something like this:
Mother to Kicker: "Son, it's 3 in the morning, what are you doing?"
Kicker: "Talking to Coach Harbaugh"
Mother to Kicker: "Right, exactly, and what is Coach Harbaugh doing at 3 in the morning?!"
Kicker: "Recruiting me."
Mother to Coach: "Sure. Right. And just what, Coach, are you wearing right now"
Coach: "Uhh, Khakis"
Mother to Kicker: "He sounds hideous"
Kicker: "Well, that's because he's from Michigan."
A few years back, Cav told a similar story at one of the NOVA Hokie Club recruiting nights. He slept on a recruit's couch in order to beat the coaches waiting outside the family's front door for the signature on signing day.

+1 any SBTB reference gets a leg from me.
Sounds to me like they're gonna be buddies; they're gonna be pals.....
They're going to live in a van down by the river?
Isn't the entire conversation against the recruiting rules? How during a dead period is he contacting a recruit and/or his parents to tell them he wants to send the night in their bedroom until the dead period ends? How does he get to and into their house without "making contact"?
Doesn't the dead period only forbid face-to-face interaction?
Okay...how does he get into the kid's house and sleep on his floor during the dead period?
Because he's one sly, sneaky son of a bitch

in khaki pants
I can't stop laughing at this. Well played.
not gonna lie, I think I watched the gif about 8 times before I realized what exactly just happened, lol.
He'll actually be in the hallway I guess, with a tin can phone to talk back and forth
I believe that the dead period only prohibits coaches from initiating contact with a recruit. If the recruit calls/tweets/texts the coach, he is permitted to respond.
There's also the possibility that the entire conversation occurred before the dead period began and therefore no rules were broken. Harbaugh may be crazy, but I doubt he's dumb enough to engage in such an easily-caught recruiting violation in a highly visible way.
I wonder if they watched Netflix and made popcorn...
Recruiting is a little creepy isn't it? If a grown man was texting and requesting sleep overs with 17 and 18 year old kids and they weren't recruits I imagine the proper authorities would be notified.
Stranger Danger!
For a kicker? I could see this for a QB or some stud WR, RB, DB, LB. But a kicker?
After the way Michigan lost to Michigan State, special teams has got to be keeping Harbaugh up at night.
Haha! /wording
You sir have won the internet....
