Harbaugh blows off Michigan


Mr. Scot

Per PFT...

Report: Michigan reached out to Harbaugh

Speculation is that he wants to stay in the NFL and his wife doesn't want to leave the Bay Area.

Sounds like he'll be headed to Oakland next season.

I think he's making a mistake, honestly. He's way better suited to long term success as a college coach. If he flames out in Oakland, he'll have missed the window to maximize his payday.

Because the Raiders are an awful organization and being part of them could damage your rep.

Michigan is a stories football program, his alma mater, and Ann Arbor is a nice place to live.

I was joking but I'll bite....

Jim leaves the pros to go to Michigan, they are so desperate to be relevant and a winner they fire him in three years there is no way he gets back to the NFL anytime soon after that.

Michigan has bigger issues other than Jim to figure out. They now have competition in recruiting, TV markets, etc than they have ever had before. Back in the 80's and 90's it was them and Notre Dame up there. That was it. It isn't like that anymore. They need to realize that going through two coaches in 7 years hurts them recruiting. They had 3 coaches in 37 years, now 2 in 7 years. Oh btw how is Rich Rodriguez doing now? Pac-12 coach of the year you say?

Gone are the days when Michigan could recruit kids by saying "if you wanna go pro you gotta come here" or "if you wanna be on tv you gotta come here". Times have changed, all of those big "power house schools" from the 90's/00's are struggling the same way.

Where does this idea come from I could only be a long term success in College?

I was HC at U of San Diego for 3 years and Stanford for 4.

In San Francisco in the NFL I've made 3 straight NFC Championship games and a Super Bowl in just 3 years as Head Coach.

 

Anyone would be extremely foolish to doubt my long term ability to lead an NFL team, especially the idiot currently calling the shots in the FO in the city by the bay.

And after three years in the NFL, you're losing to the worst team in the league and your employer can't wait to be rid of you.

Jim Harbaugh is a control freak.

I suspect Oakland will provide him with more of what he craves in exchange for a return to respectability.

Granted, his act may wear thin after a few years, but Oakland has never been shy about taking chances and making deals with the devil in pursuit of excellence. It just hasn't been working out for them lately, ever since Al Davis lost his mind and went to the great grid iron in the sky.

Come to think of it, Jim Harbaugh kind of reminds me of Al Davis.

    • I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
    • I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
