First of all, I give Hale credit for throwing shade at Harbaugh in a very clever way.  You gotta love it.

But, looking at the end of Hale’s very short piece below, he makes it sound as if he believes Harbaugh won’t be on the sidelines next year.  Or am I misunderstanding Hale’s take here?

”Jim Harbaugh's khakis are ... ON THE WAY BACK

A week ago, Harbaugh debuted a new sideline look, rocking a pair of blue slacks instead of his trademark khakis. The result was a dominant Michigan win over Minnesota and a fresh look for Harbaugh. ‘You don't want to become stale bread or overripe fruit or burnt meat,’ Harbaugh said. ‘That's not good.’ Also not good: losing to your ‘little brother’ yet again. Michigan's 27-24 loss to Michigan State was the latest debacle for Harbaugh, who figures to be in the market for some new fashion options. We're going to suggest yoga pants or gym shorts. They're both quite comfortable when working from home.”
