What are you talking about?? Tepper is the 2nd richest owner in the league and there is no CAP on what you can spend on coaches..

It's not rocket science. Irsay is worth almost 4 billion dollars. He has enough money to pay any coach anything he wants (as do probably all these guys). A coach's salary is not equal to the cost of a football team, for example. If they were bidding for another franchise or something of equivalent value, then Tepper wins. Some owners have money to buy multiple pro teams, but they all can pay a coach's salary. The only thing that separates the owners in bidding wars for coaches is the willing to overpay---or grossly overpay---for a coach's services, and the willingness to give potential coaches more control (sometimes unjustified authority). Tepper has shown the willingness to do both, which holds us in good stead (at least from the perspective of getting a premier coach) when it comes to these bidding wars.

You don't think Harbaugh would believe he can fix him?

Noooo!! I think Harbaugh is smart enough to see this a physical declineing QB and a team that trade assets to get him.. 

And our team he can pick his Qb and still has assets to work with..

Whoever wants to give more money and possibly cede more control. It's hyperbolic, but if Irsay decides to pay Harbaugh 50 mil per year (even if it's only for one year), I'd dare say that he's going to win the bidding war (if not lose his credibility). One thing neither one will be losing is their billions to hire a coach.

And again you think Tepper wouldn’t outbid Irsay for Harbaugh when he did it for Rhule??

Harbaugh wouldn't leave Michigan to coach the Panthers no matter how much Tepper offered him. People overestimate the attractiveness of this franchise to a coach like Harbaugh.  Hell you would be lucky to get one of these hot new up and comers to take the job. It may not be a matter of choosing whoever you want. It quite possibly could end up being whoever will take it.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
