The reporting on this perhaps misses an important point: What I'm hearing is that certain UM leadership WANTS a superseding agreement that articulates specific termination language based on NCAA, etc. penalties. The new agreement is much more onerous in terms of Harbaugh's burden and offers a far more convenient off ramp to separating from Harbaugh, et al. The new contract accomplishes four primary goals: (1) It indicates strength to the Harbaugh loyalists. (2) It signals strength to casual onlookers. (3) It incentivizes Harbaugh to keep his mouth shut. (4) It is much, much, much more explicit about causes for termination without relief or severance. Harbaugh is currently under contract. There is no real need to offer a new agreement. Harbaugh is under contract - he isn't going anywhere. IT IS THE CAMP MOST WEARY OF HARBAUGH AT UM THAT IS EAGER FOR HARBAUGH TO SIGN A SUPERSEDING DEAL. THE NEW DEAL MAKES IT FAR EASIER FOR UM TO TERMINATE HARBAUGH FOR MUCH MORE EXPANSIVE DEFINITIONS OF "CAUSE."
