Jim Harbaugh has convo with David Tepper

No, he linked Will Krunkel as the source.

Person doesn’t really put his neck out like this unless he’s hearing it too. He’s doing the professional thing and giving Will credit for posting it first.

Is this considered tampering though?

That was my first thought last night but for Joe Person to back it up is pretty big.

Fair, but the fact that everyone is linking back to Will still makes me wary.

I saw the Kunkel tweet and was skeptical at best but if Person is backing up the info I'll buy it. Let's just get this hire done then.

yup, Person is why I believe this rumor.

I assume he also checked sources and didn't just spray that out there without doing that.

Well, that is what journalists USED to do.

Tampering is only with NFL coaches, right?  I guess I don't know any rules.

We also have no idea what was said. For all we know, Tepper said "naw man thanks anyway, Wilks is my dude, I love a coach with a sub .500 record afraid to take a chance on 4th and 1."

Per Allbright call was placed to gauge his interest in interviewing:

Granted, in the case you cited, the guy in question inherited a juggernaut.  But, at a minimum, he did not eff it up.  His next job, though............

Sounds like this was Tepper calling Jim, so the interest is pretty obvious.

I'm skeptical he can replicate his performance with the 49ers. But I'd prefer him to some of the other candidates being discussed.

I like Ben but he’s been pretty 50/50 when it comes to Panther stuff.

It feels hella disrespectful to be talking to coaches about a vacancy while you have a head coach preparing the team for a game. This conversation couldnt wait ONE WEEK?

Eh.....strike while the iron is hot but I get what you mean. Probably one of those loose lips situations. I doubt this was supposed to be for public consumption.

Also shows that Wilks is merely a consideration and not the guy.
