Warde Manuel is a Harbaugh Guy, I don't know if he was hand picked by Jimmy but I'm sure he had a say. When your boss makes a small percentage of what you make, who's really in charge anyways?
John U. Bacon and other insiders are pretty much singing the same tune, when it comes to Jimmy and his future at Michigan. Jimmy has at least a 3 year contract extension on his desk ready for signature. His contract will be at a lower salary, with a lower buyout, bonus for teams performance, with a few extra dollars for his staff.
