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.

Outside of Belichick, what full control coaches are dominating the NFL right now?

(hell, even Belichick isn't looking so good without Brady)

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 $$$$.

He is a complete mercenary and will go where ever pays him the most along with the required power and then turn around and do it all over again at the next opportunity. He is a good coach but that is by far his greatest skill IMO.

My guess would be some of the same folks who convinced themselves that Harbaugh was interested in the Panthers job above all others probably also thought Deshaun Watson was pining to be our quarterback and didn't want to play anywhere else.

Yep. We seem to be the team used for leverage. The actual target is never really interested in being here.

And both equal an automatic championship...I just don't see it myself.

I don't think we would be bad with Harbaugh, I just don't think he has it in him to win one at any level. It would be entertaining but not always the good kind. Meanwhile the Bronco's new owner is about to make himself a first time owner mistake and I hope Tepper is watching what that looks like from the outside.

Loser franchise now with Tepper at the helm. Probably sign Wilkes and be right back here in a year or too. This time we will be the ones begging. 

I completely agree. I like Wilks. Seems like a good guy and a decent coach...but we've had him as coach with Rivera and Fox. Time to move on.

If I had to guess I would say Harbaugh wants full control and to pick his GM. I don’t think Tepper wants to go down that road again. It makes sense with a proven coach like Harbaugh, but I’m more than ok with that being a deal breaker.
There is also a chance Fitt has been told he will get a chance to be an actual GM with Rhule gone. That probably isn’t possible with Harbaugh.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
