Incredible interview of Jim Hackett just now on the Huge Show. Hackett told the entire story of how Harbaugh was hired. Too many highlights to list, but among them:

- The hiring process was code-named Project Unicorn.

- Harbaugh wanted to make totally sure that Hoke had been treated fairly before he’d even talk to Michigan.

- He didn’t name names, of course, but Hackett said that he was talking to several college coaches whose teams were in bowl games, and some other NFL coaches (he didn’t specify if they were head coaches or assistants).

- The day that Harbaugh and Hackett each signed the contract, Hackett couldn’t get his computer to work, so he had to take a picture of the contract on his iPhone so that he could send it to Harbaugh.

- Harbaugh wanted to make sure that Hackett was going to be sticking around as AD.

ALSO:

- A night game for Ohio State is highly unlikely; a night game for Michigan State isn’t quite as unlikely.

Incredibly honest interview. Jim MF Hackett is the anti-Brandon in every way.

It wasn’t uploaded when last I checked, but the Hackett interview should be uploaded soon at:
