Jim Harbaugh yea or nay???

I don’t think he’s a serious option since Michigan is his dream job, but just for argument sakes. It seems a lot of people are split on him.

 

I think he’s a really good coach and probably the best candidate that has been thrown out there as a possible coach. He completely turned around Stanford, then goes to SF and revived them now Michigan is having is best 3 year stretch in 40 years in terms of wins. I think his biggest problem is that he’s a hot head and wears out his players and the front office

You have to believe either one of two things

(1) Harbaugh was such a great coach, he managed to get a terrible quarterback in Colin Kap one play away from being a Superbowl champion.

or

(2) Kaepernick was actually a really good quarterback when utilized by competent coaches

I happen to think they were both good, but I've been amused to see the same people who say Kaepernick doesn't deserve a job as a backup also talk about how Harbaugh had a 'stacked' team in SF

It can't be both

We should get the gang back together (if Cam is hurt);  Kap, Harbaugh, Roman;  run a heavy zone read offense

Harbaugh made it to the nfc championship the previous year with Alex Smith, and before Smith got hurt I think they were like 6-2

    • I'd edited to be more clear where he was ahead of league average, but realize it was easily missed, sorry.  I do hope he falls off a cliff production wise because if he actually continues at this pace it's highly likely the TDs come and then he'll be a real problem. Anyway, to the stats... Shough is substantially better than the average in completion percentage, YPG, and INT% (68% vs 64.4% and 237 vs 215 and 1.7 vs 2.2). He is pretty close to the average in Y/A (7.14 vs 7.1) and rating (91.63 vs 91.8). He is a bit below the average in TDs per game (1.3 vs ~1.5, which is hard to average exactly due to the number of players that are part of this stat), QBR (51.54 vs 54.7) and quite a bit below in TD% (3% vs 4.7%). In advanced stats, he's above the league average in intended air yards/attempt (8.1 v 7.7) and on target % (76.8 vs 74.6), while barely below is in bad throw % (16.1 vs 16.0). This jives with what I've seen - decent young player, playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter, on a bad team. I've always said (and this is true of Bryce too, I even mentioned it this year) that I am less concerned with 30+ yard bombs than consistency at 15+ yards, because you need to be able to threaten past the sticks. Shough is doing that. Vs us in week 15 he had ~one third of his passes 15ish or more yards and he was money on them, and that wasn't really an exception, he has had some nice throws outside of that.  All that said, dude is just super new to the league, and once film gets out, if he does have limitations they will be exploited. No way he can get OROTY. And thanks for the kind words - I am prone to hyperbole at times, but I'm also just impressed by Shough. We'll see if he can keep it up (I hope not, unless the Saints randomly trade him lol)
    • To be fair, going from 2 wins, to 5 wins, to 8 wins at least is a pretty big positive no matter how insufferably miserable a select handful in this group want to make everything.
    • Yeah Moore is definitely going to be a problem.  I remember he was the favorite for our job at one point in time.
