Why when they can more than likely get Jim for less or similar on a longer contract. Jim gonna have that Michigan deal to leverage as well. 

Replace Chargers with literally any NFL opening besides ours haha. Ben Johnson is the hottest name out there. Raiders and Bears are both more attractive. Then add in the possibility of ATL, Jets, Patriots, Bucs, Commanders. Why would BJ come here?

Money

The Charger, Raiders and Bears are cheapskates.

He’s about to secure a 6 year 90 million dollar contract so if Tepper fires him he’s set for life generations over

If I'm getting into bed with Tepper when I have other options (and I'm tied to Bryce Young) I'm asking for generational wealth.

This is basically a message to Tepper if you want me you better pay me.

 

Tepper is like, "What luck!  I just found that in my coat pocket and forgot I had put it there last winter."

The above, plainly. 

Besides the fact that we are arguing over openings that aren't open or remotely likely to be open.  Because we think he's hot doesn't mean every franchise wants a first time HC. Much less want to go the offensive route.  Plethora of leaders of men and great coaches on the defensive side of the ball. Demeco is proving that, McDermott is still proving that even after his 2 week stint on the hot seat.  BJ might be the 'hottest' name to some in the offseason but not every franchise will be in on him.

this made me chuckle

I would be willing to bet that is the Panthers specific price.

I am guessing he would be willing go take far less at a good spot.

[KillerKat]

give him 20

fug it why not. If he takes the interview Tepper better be smart enough to ask him and every candidate the same thing. How will you get the most out of Bryce Young, if you can how can you ensure another rebuild won't happen, and lastly are you ok with keeping Evero?

 

All 3 should be answered with confidence and a lie detector test and boom, Jim Harbaugh will be the next Panthers coach (lol I wish).

Also remember that Frank Reich will still be earning $12 million per year in ‘24, ‘25, and ‘26.

Fired football coach is the best job on Earth.

If we can pay Darnold more than that in one season, we can easily afford an up and coming superstar coach. Pay him as a top 3 coach, who gives a fug at this point, it can’t be worse than our last two coaching decisions
