John U. Bacon, author of Overtime: Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines at the Crossroads of College Football, joined The Fan Upstate’s Offsides With Marc Ryan earlier this week.

When asked how he thinks Harbaugh would have his job preferences ranked, Bacon went with the following order:

 

Carolina Panthers

Indianapolis Colts

Denver Broncos

“I’d say the three—the sanest and the best opportunity—Jim would care about that. To get out of the hole as fast as possible, in two or three years, would be Carolina. And keep in mind also, who’s looking for coaches? Not the guys winning the Super Bowls. So, that’s never really an option. So, Carolina, Indianapolis, Denver—I’ve not yet heard of anybody else making a serious run at Jim outside of those three.”

I think his ranking is spot-on given those three jobs.  And I by no means think we are as close to being good as some on this board.

Both the Colts and Broncos went all-in for a veteran QB and instant success this year, and it turned out badly.  I think the Colts can actually save money by dumping Ryan after this year, but the the Broncos all-in has at least two more years before they can cut ties without taking a cap hit that Congress would be proud of. 

So, none of us has a QB that will get us to the next level, but we (for once) don't have a bill for a QB that would attached to our need.

If trends count, ours at least appears to be slightly up right now.  The Colts and Broncos have been big disappointments this year.

How bad would it suck if the Colts landed Harbaugh, then signed Darnold, and proceeded to make the playoffs in 2023 while we miss out?

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
