If he says yes to coaching in the NFL it's a no-brainer. He should be #1 on Teppers list. This guy has done it as a coach and player.

Same background as Ron Rivera as a player under Ditka but a QB. Toughness would be the first requirement with Harbaugh. You won't see a minute on that field playing soft.

They tried to trade him to Cleveland and then it all fell apart stuff really got weird. Players were having criminal charges and there were nasty leaks in house.

I know not all of that was him but I do have reservations about the guy. A HC that doesn't or can't work well with others is not something I need more of at this time.

If that applied to a guy now on the streets. He's gotten rave reviews at Michigan so that most recent assessment may be more correct. 

He had a stellar career in the NFL as a head coach in spite of all that and went to a Superbowl as an NFL HC. Who else has his resume? He's not Fhules gold.

And ppl around here complain  about Culture and the effects Rhule has on the player and all the coddling.. Not to many coaching candidates and Coordinators are coming with a Culture and instant respect..

That's the thing, control in school is god level. The fugging towns will hide criminal activity for the team, it's that big. The NFL is a lot harder. Saban comes to mind, he was built for school.

He was a very effective HC in the NFL, I just don't know enough details to be comfortable with him. I didn't like his GM who had the owner on a leash but the 49ers did some weird stuff back then. I have reservations and unless we start talking to him I'm not going to do any research. 

I would look at Leftwich, also a former player. It may be too soon but that's a guy with a small resume that I see much more positives than negatives. I also don't see potential bagage that is a red flag for a dysfunctional organization, which we sure look like right now. There would be options if we wanted to not be awful next year.

If you want to win now (1-2 seasons), then it is Harbaugh. If you want to wait (3-5 seasons) then someone else. Harbaugh can get more of what we have, while a new coach will more than likely require more players and scheme adjustments. Last I looked winning curse most problems. I want a winner, do you want a winner?

Instant respect in the locker room. Michigan hasn't suffered from him being there, just the opposite so the past doesn't look like it was all him.

People talking about "leader of boys" need to remember he played and coached(with great success) in the NFL. This is a professional. The resume stands.

      Week 12: Other NFL Games

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....

      High praise for TMac

      With a strong finish to the season, he has a real chance at being just the 3rd Panther to make the Pro Bowl in their rookie season (and just the 2nd as a non special teamer) after Cam and Smitty. He won't make it on the original selections, not over JSN, Puka, Pickens, St Brown, London, Jefferson who should all finish with at least the same amount of yards and TDs, if not more.  No rookie is getting selected over all those big name vets with similar statistical seasons. But a couple injuries and/or reaching the NFC Championship and pulling out of the Pro Bowl, he very well could be one of the first couple alternates and end up making it.  Last year the NFC ended up with 7 WRs making it in the end after players who pulled out got replaced.
