I thought jim came out and shot down all nfl rumors??

I know someone can offer the moon, but seems like hes staying at least for another year. 

That is Booster and recruiting talk. If there is a job he likes and the price is right, he will be back in the NFL, regardless of what you read and where you read it from.

I don't think he had a bad experience here at all as a player.  I just don't see any reason why he wouldn't.  You think he became successful and then just started turning his nose up at us? Would take more to prove he wouldn't come here then would.

Dude, he was here for like 5 minutes. If Chicago's, Indy's, Baltimore's, and San Diego's coaching needed to be filled in a hypothetical universe, Carolina would be dead last.

But he’s got a reputation for being difficult, for wearing people within the organization down to a fine nub.
 

I don’t care

 

This team needs a leader with an edge, someone who will demand accountability and will exude toughness — a Mike Vrabel. Look, Bill Polian was as difficult and crotchety as they came, and he was brilliant. Go back to Ryan Grigson, who was as cuddly as a dyspeptic grizzly, but enjoyed eminently more success than Ballard has had.

Yes, the word on the street is that Harbaugh wears on people. Things ended badly in San Francisco. Tell me, though, how much success did the Niners have after Harbaugh left San Francisco? Remember the Jim Tomsula Era? What about the Chip Kelly era?

Harbaugh’s been at Michigan for eight years. He’s on the cusp of his second straight CFP appearance and quite possibly a national title. He’s gotten his butt kicked by Ohio State, and now he’s returned the favor with two straight victories over the Buckeyes.

Even after his dance with the Vikings last year, Michigan welcomed him back to the family, and yes, there’s a reason why he has such a low buyout number ($3 million).

Irsay has been in the nice-guy business for years. He hired Tony Dungy, the Patron Saint of Good Men, and he hired Jim Caldwell and Chuck Pagano and Frank Reich and now, for the time being, Jeff Saturday. Ballard? Nice guy. Some will see his willingness to accommodate the media as some cynical attempt to curry favor; my sense is he genuinely enjoys (most of) the give and take and understands the requirements of our jobs. But whatever …

Too often in recent years, the Colts have sided with sentimentality over cold, harsh objective reality, like when they stuck with Adam Vinatieri, who was making 78.6 percent of his extra points. They signed a way-past-his-prime T.Y. Hilton, despite clear evidence that he was done. This is a cold, hard business. Deal with it.

How familiar are y'all with Harbaugh and his antics? You seriously don't understand why that would wear thin in a locker room of grown men?

Aren't you the one who preaches constantly abt taking risks with QBs?

Harbaugh's a weird fugin' dude and I have no doubt he's not at the very least an eccentric but he's exactly the type of coach with this roster that could give us the edge.

If there's a fallout, there's a fallout.

    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
    • Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
    • very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
