Report: Teams are doing homework on Jim Harbaugh

Teams that are considering coaching changes don’t wait until firing the current coach to start looking for a successor. They start considering candidates weeks before issuing the pink slip.

To absolutely no surprise, NFL teams that may be looking for new coaches are doing their homework on Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, according to NFL Media.

Last week, we planted a flag on this possibility, given the events that unfolded in early 2022. Harbaugh wanted to coach the Vikings. He wants to win a Super Bowl. He has made it clear that he regards a national championship as something less than winning a Lombardi Trophy.

“bUT hE CLoSed tHE dOoR,” some will shout. His contract shows that the door is wide-ass open; his buyout this year is a mere $3 million.

If he was truly closing the door, he could have agreed to a much higher buyout, in return for other more favorable terms. He didn’t. He negotiated a reasonable buyout. Which means it’s not unreasonable to think he may be once again looking for a way back to the NFL.

Already, the Panthers and Colts have vacancies. There surely will be more. And there surely will be interest in a guy who immediately turned around a bad 49ers team, taking it to the brink of the Super Bowl in his first season and getting there in his second.

Would be absolutely thrilled to land this guy. He’s one of the best football coaches on the planet. Only question is if he would be interested in coming here?

For the record I do not want. I bet the panthers are doing research though. 

 

Me as well. Now if he had half the class of his brother? I may change my tune. The shine is wearing off at Mich. Why else would they allow such a small buyout. If they wanted him, that buyout would be huge.

Great coach but his personality can be an huge issue. Not sure about his recent work with QBs. Feels like it could swing either way with him. I wonder if he would stick around for more than 3 years and if he would want full control. I'm more of a fan of shared power with cohesion or finding different people.

I just think his personality is better suited for the college game where it's younger kids who cycle in and out of the program in 3-5 years and that in the NFL his coaching style wears thin on grown ass men over the long haul.

Were there any players who were said to have an issue with Jim Harbaugh?

From what I remember the downfall of his tenure in San Fran was his relationship with the front office, not the players.  But I could be remembering wrong, it has been a long time.

I recall the same. The 49ers went downhill after he left until Shanahan came along.

I doubt many players have an issue with winning 60% of the games they play and going to the playoffs 

 

if there is a home run hire this cycle is harbaugh

Would love to have him here, if he flames out within 5 years but those 5 years include playoff berths and a potential SB run, it’s worth it imo. That being said, I think he will want a ton of cash (he’s making $7m annually at UM I believe) and bringing his own GM which I’m not sure Tepper is willing to do. I could see him in Indy or Houston for sure tho.

Lots of players look up to and talk to Deion Sanders. And given his success coaching in college it's probably not smart to discount what he's saying regarding coaching given his experience on both sides of that coin.

I am saying is that is the only source saying that.....maybe not the most accurate take.

Personally, I will take Harbaugh in a heartbeat. Hard to think of a better hire we could make short of Sean Payton.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
