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.

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

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!

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
