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? 

This is the reality of the NFL, we just have a poo ton of leaks in our organization.

I mean.....cross that bridge when it comes. I don't think you will struggle to get those interviews filled. 

Even if it's a sham, it's an excellent opportunity to go through the process for the candidates and potentially make an impression. Definitely can lead to future opportunities if you treat it that way. 

Obviously if you are a guy that is a former head coach or have other opportunities to be a head coach, it might get declined.

I used Harbaugh but I wonder what would happen in that situation. Obviously it hasn't happened yet, but you have to think at some point it will in the NFL.

Teams are already doing work you can’t fall behind, Wilks knows he has to interview for it as well so this shouldn’t surprise him.

I get it. Harbaugh is a legit good coach. But this is messy and that kind of sentiment trickles down to other parts of the organization.

This is always happening, though, and any coach or player that thinks its too early to start getting together potential interview candidates is fooling themselves. Teams have been having these conversations since mid-season.  Just most teams aren't filled with OOU idiots, and no doubt our org has a bunch of dipshits from Rhule's days still.

the plan all along was to look at and interview other coaches. i'm more surprised that this kind of thing hasn't been done earlier. it's not like we've got a full time HC here. He's an interim. The job isn't his after this year.

Aren't there people on this board who think one of the reasons Andrew Luck declined to declare for the draft in 2011 is on advice from Harbaugh?  Lol

I bet it has been ongoing honestly. I think this is just the first to leak, and I think it's in response to the previous fake rumors this weekend about it.

Gotta think if we hire Jim he is going to want to bring in his GM

That’s fine with me

[BerryLoMein]

I wasn't aware that Jim was an offensive guru. How many QBs has he developed? Don't say Luck. He didn't need much development.

[HPPantherzfan]

Sounds like there is interest from Harbaugh as well

Not as disrespectful to the fans who have had to endure with this garbage since SB50. 
 

everyone likes Steve Wilkes. He is a great guy and respected by all of us but he came up short this year. I hope he can stay on as the DC but that probably won’t happen either.
