Michigan hires Jim Harbaugh

Michigan has told its biggest boosters that a deal for Jim Harbaugh to become its next head coach is done and that a news conference is scheduled for Tuesday, a source close to Michigan told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Harbaugh, wearing a Michigan cap, landed at an airport in Detroit shortly before 6 p.m. Monday evening and left in a convoy of six cars that included interim athletic director Jim Hackett.

Harbaugh is expected to sign the richest contract in college football history, a source told Schefter.

Even though the agreement is expected to be announced Tuesday, NFL teams such as the Bears, Jets and Raiders have continued making overtures to see if they can change Harbaugh's mind, NFL sources told Schefter.
