Harbaugh to Carolina Makes Too Much Sense...

[chknwing]

But will it happen?   Dun Dun Dunnnn.  The Bucs are fading away.  Brady gonna call it quits soon.  Carolina has more talent than the Saints and Falcons.  Harbaugh could easily build a multiple year NFCS champion with the right QB and coaches.  I doubt he would consider Denver because that division already has super bowl contenders.  All Tepper has to do is write a check.  Good thing that's what he is good at

Agreed this is a no brainer, just pay the man. Tepper's gonna fug it up though, he always does.

The concern is that he might be a "complete control" coach again. If that is the case, I am not sure I want him. 

He is easily the most accomplished coach available this cycle but we just got over that kind of thing. I don't think I want to make that mistake again.

[Bear Hands]

I can see him right there for the taking if we want to engage.

I see the Colts as a hard no--Harbaugh is pretty tight with the Polians and certain circles that simply won't work w/Irsay.  

Broncos will likely be a no from him for reasons mentioned, but it's not impossible.

Only real competition for him are teams who haven't fired their coach yet.  I'd usually think this is a bit long shot discussion, but this is a very real possibility this time around.

He may want full control and as Tepper is ‘once burned’ , that may be a deal breaker 

I don’t know how I feel about him   I know it doesn’t matter how I feel but it is cautious   

also, the nfl has changed since his time in it

saying he is ‘odd’ is an understatement and that oddness or quirkiness, as I understand it, grated on players and staff alike in San Fran   

oh well

I think if you go Harbaugh it's with the full knowledge that he is probably here at most 5-6 years. But, if you get a ring in that timespan, it was worth it. Or, really, if we are a consistent 10+ win team. At least then we are a very attractive option for the next round of coaching hires.

I do think he will wear out his welcome no matter where he goes.

Do not want. He seems to be a tool and they had very mixed reports when he left the 49ers. I know a lot of you are Harbaugh stans but this is just my opinion. I want a current NFL coach.

Tepper needs to open his check book if there is any way possible that the Panthers can get Harbaugh.

If there is a better head coach candidate out there than him, I certainly don't know who it would be.

That’s what I’m afraid of, not that Wilks would be a bad choice, but I don’t trust Tepper to make the right one.

He'd better bring a heck of an OC into the fold.  I'm so over the run, run, pass, punt mentality of our past HCs.

[1of10Charnatives]

I'm with Fu that Harbaugh is the most attractive option out there but likely wears out his welcome half dozen years down the road give or take. I'm willing to live with that at this point if he can change the culture of this place to something that wins more consistently, but am extremely leary of giving full control to any HC.

It just never works in the modern NFL. The job is too big for any one man. You need a fully empowered GM to run the FO, not a HC's puppet.

[cookinbrak]

Harbaugh would have gone for it on 4th and a foot.

Well there are plenty of cunty head coaches(or just coaches in general) in the NFL. What Harbaugh was able to do with those teams was pretty great. 

If we eliminate all asshole HC's that might narrow the pool more than we want.

Remember who own the Broncos now.  Tepper could get outbid.  The old Broncos owners could not have got into a bidding war with Tepper, the Waltons, however...they have money to burn.
