Reich was garbage in Indy and couldn’t get it done there. I’ve said it before, I live near Indy so I’m surrounded by colts fans, it would be a huge mistake to hire Reich, huge. 

Not so sure I'd take fan opinions all that seriously...

I get the feeling if he didn't have football, Harbaugh might be the country's most prolific serial killer

If those are the interviewees then Wilks has already been told the job is his

Yeah, those 2 sound like great options for coordinators under Wilks 3.0, not so much as head honchos on their own...

The Wishbone is part of NFL history too, but I wouldn't suggest employing it today.

Of the coaches listed, only Pete Carroll actually has final say. Heck, Reid specifically stated he leaves personnel stuff to Brett Veach.

Tomlin had Colbert, Payton had Loomis, Coughlin had to dial back to start winning and Parcells actually got worse the more control he got (his trophy came working with Ernie Accorsi).

Having a total control coach is not a popular model these days, and for good reason.

"These days" makes no difference whatsoever. Whether it's a good idea to give an HC final control depends upon the person. That's the way it's always been and likely always will be.

Some coaches have more control than others regardless if there's a GM there or not, and some have basically given the GM control, but they still have final say. 

Parcells has two rings, by the way, so he obviously knew what he was doing.

I can agree with that but what about front office ppl, ppl who know a heck of a lot more than either of us, they thought he wasn’t good so they canned him. So he will just all the sudden be good for us?

I was told by the Huddle Tepper would not get outbid.  Looks like he tapped out before the real bidding even began, lol!

No, if this "report" is true, it actually sounds like Tepper doesn't want Harbaugh. And that ain't got anything to do with being outbid.

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.

Did you know that Frank Reich has 2 hand and 2 feet? Got 5 fingers and 5 toes on each, too.

Can't hire Reich, he's basically a Matt Rhule clone!

Ok fair enough, but what did he do there?

It’s an interim job

I don’t get it, Harbaugh is better than all three of these guys and could arguably be the best coach we’ve ever had and we just say “meh”

I am happy to hear this news. I am just not a fan of harbaugh as a HC. Something just isn’t right with the guy. 

Let Bountygate go somewhere else. Josh Norman trying to cover receivers from his coffee shop.
