or he cheaps out on a very good coach and we go with a dollar store option.

Rapsheet writes that if Michigan were to make him the highest paid coach in college football, he might just stay put.

I'm not that big a Harbaugh fan.

And frankly, I don't give a sh-t how much they cost. It's what they do for the money.

This understated, now narrative of yours is low-key comparing Rhule to Harbaugh. I just can't get with it. Rhule was a NCAA guy pretending to be an NFL coach. Harbaugh has shown outstanding understanding and knowledge at both levels.

Not really. It's primarily about Tepper just throwing money at the hottest name in the media again.

But if we were to make that comparison I'd say while Harbaugh is a much superior coach, he's also a very similar personality.

Well, this is disappointing. We go from a known commodity to an unknown. Might as well keep Wilks and hire Reich as OC. 

[Kentucky Panther]

It would just be the most Panthers thing ever if we turn a proven winner away and keep Wilks. Who probably already has more head scratching losses in his short career than Harbaugh does. 
 

I don’t mind if we pass on Jim, as long as we are still looking and considering candidates other than Wilks.

Perhaps, on some level, but actual knowledge and skill makes all the difference. 

I'm sure that some of the best of all time are accused of being big assholes with big egos. The great ones also seem to have control.

[Bear Hands]

Ben Johnson could make a lot of sense.  

[Martin]

I’m guessing here, but I don’t think Tepper wants another coach demanding full control. And I agree with that. The list of demands from Jim is probably pretty long. Also, based on last years interview oddness with the Vikes, something just doesn’t feel right about this.

My gut tells me Wilks + a new Offensive Coordinator is incoming...we shall see....

[Panthercougar68]

Tepper even said himself that his next hire is gonna be a balance between the coach and GM as opposed to total control that Payton and Harbaugh want.

I liked the idea of Harbaugh but this leads me to believe that Steichen, Waldron, or Johnson are the main targets.

Got to wonder if JH really wants to come back to the NFL or if he and his agent are just jerking Mi around again for $$$$.

Some of y'all are thinking that we need a new OC; I think we need a new DC, and I'm not alone. 

Just the fact that there are fans that believe we need changes on both sides of the ball tells me that Wilks is outta here.
