Mike Florio: Could Jim Harbaugh be an option

Attention Matt Rhule defenders, a turnaround can happen quickly, even with a college coach.

What if other NFL teams, like Carolina, get in on the Harbaugh action? Or how about the Bears, the team that made Harbaugh a first-round draft choice 35 years ago? Sure, he tends to wear out his welcome. But he’s effective. And his seven years at Michigan suggest that he has indeed matured and grown and learned how not to need to leave town after four years.

Money always talks. The question is how loudly it may scream from an NFL team that is willing to blow the curve on getting a former college coach who, unlike Rhule and Urban Meyer, knows how to thrive at the professional level.

I was banging the table for Harbaugh back when everyone knew he was leaving Stanford.  I'm sure he still would've ended up leaving like he did with SF, but he is proven on both levels.  He knows how to excel at the pro level and what it takes - both from a coach's and a player's perspective.

I wouldn't be mad at all if we went that direction.  I prefer a young offensive-minded coordinator already in the NFL, but Harbaugh wouldn't be a bad hire at all.  In fact, he likely would be the best coach we ever had to this point.

Harbaugh would be an improvement over the current coaching staff but I don’t love it. Doug Pederson or Matt Eberflus are my first choices

I wouldn’t mind Pederson, IF, either fitts get most of the control on roster or we get a serious high powered GM.

Don’t see it happening. 

While Jim has proven he can coach in the NFL….hard to follow up a Rhule shitshow by bringing in a a guy who has a history of being a problematic HC. 

Harbaugh has massive red flags.   You part with a winning HC for very few reasons.

He could be a Pete Carroll type:   a former NFL coach turned college coach that finally becomes a successful NFL coach.  

Harbaugh does bring many years of NFL experience as a player to the table.  That's definitely worth something.

4 seasons in the NFL and he never had a losing record as a HC.  

he lost his job because he is batshit crazy.
