Yeah, it’s just a dumb set of cherry picked stats. It predicts nothing.   

Johnson had no salary cap and got the benefit of the Herschel Walker trade because the Vikings GM at the time was an idiot.

It's fair to point out that most college coaches these days do tend to fail.

I've always said here on this site that Jim Harbaugh was the sure money as the most legit "college" hire out there.

Numbers prove that. Former Panthers backup QB also.

While true, Jim has a reputation for not playing well with others.  

If rumors that Matt Rhule is clashing with the Panthers southern culture are true, imagine the pushback that Jim Harbaugh would generate within the organization.

He's done great at Michigan, he's a former Panther, they speak glowingly of the actual building he's done.

Jimmy Johnson was a great evaluator of talent, and he was really was the key to the rapid turn around in Dallas. But, you're right about that trade. He wouldn't have been able to win those Super Bowls as quickly if not for the extra draft choices.

When he got to Miami he was able to field a competive team and drafted some good players (Sam Madison, Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor), but he didn't come close to accomplishing what he did in Dallas. Some of that is because he wasn't able to draft as many top players as quickly as he did with the Cowboys.

Here's what Jimmy Johnson received after fleecing the Vikings.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/140116-the-best-trade-in-nfl-history

In 1989, at the peak of Walker's NFL career, the Cowboys sent Herschel Walker to the Vikings for five players and six draft picks.

The players were LB Jesse Solomon, DB Isiac Holt, RB Darrin Nelson, LB David Howard, and DE Alex Stewart.

The picks turned into players such as Emmitt Smith, Russell Maryland, Kevin Smith, and Darren Woodson.

True.  However, some coaches personalities are better suited for college ball. 

This article suggests that Harbaugh may prefer coaching at the college level because it allows him to have more control over his players.

https://www.businessinsider.com/why-49ers-got-rid-of-jim-harbaugh-2014-12#:~:text=Harbaugh won 44 regular-season,four years with the 49ers.&text=The overwhelming consensus is that,couldn't work there anymore.

I thought there were similarities with rhule and Johnson... because the both had psychology degrees...lending to the fact they know how to motivate the mind of a player...as it turns out...rhule is just a megalomaniac....poor tep...he getting sucked in...

It’s not even about the record for me. We look worse this year than last with any easier schedule this year. I normally agree about giving coaches 3 years as long as you’re seeing something after 2 even if the record doesn’t show that. We flat out suck and look lifeless. He needs to go now.

This. I'd feel differently if there were signs of progress. Quite the opposite.

We need to hire Harbaugh, that’s what I pray happens. We fire Rhule, and go get Harbaugh. He could turn us around in 2-3 years, otherwise it will be a moving 5 year window.

Jim Harbaugh was my number 1 choice for the job before we unfortunately hired Rhule

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
