Panthers Unlikely to Pursue Harbaugh

[kungfoodude]

Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper is unlikely to pursue Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh for the team's head coaching vacancy, a source told Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

 

Tepper had conversations with Harbaugh last year before hiring Frank Reich, Russini adds.

 

Harbaugh is expected to draw interest from NFL clubs with head coaching vacancies. The 60-year-old has been with Michigan since 2015 after a four-year stint with the San Francisco 49ers. Harbaugh could face further discipline from the Big Ten and NCAA as a result of their investigation into a sign-stealing scandal that already saw the Wolverines' boss receive a three-game ban from the sidelines.

That house isn't big enough for those 2 egos.

Can he not stay in school? Seems like a better fit with how he works with others and all I heard was some light wrist slapping punishements from the sign stealing tthing. Just asking, don't care to dive too deep into that level's drama.

He is a master of creating leverage for better contracts. I don't see how this is really any difference.

Of course we aren’t going after him. He is a proven winner.

Harbaugh is living on borrowed time in college. He incensed the NCAA by literally not cooperating with a very trivial investigation, causing them to throw the book at him. Now the entire Big Ten flipped on him about the sign stealing which the NCAA hasn't even delved into yet.

He would be a buffoon to not pull a Pete Carroll and get out of dodge ahead of the coming storm.

I am in the shadow of Ann Arbor and the rumor mill here is quite the opposite.

Exactly, why try and get the guy this team needs, a builder. We are a disaster from the top down, Harbaugh is the right guy for the job. Johnson would be good too, but would he come here? Who am I kidding, would Harbaugh even come here?

Has anyone really tried to pursue him other than fans?

All we have to go on is the report that he called us and Denver met with him.

Yea from what I remember he was the one that kept reaching out to the Panthers, not the other way around.

We're unlikely to pursue anyone who isn't willing to be a yes man to David Tepper. That's been the reality since Tepper bought the team and I'll believe it won't be the reality when I actually see some sign of hope that it's not.

Harbaugh has a proven track record. Ben Johnson has zero track record.

Not saying I wouldn't be happy to have him but those guys are opposite ends of the scale, IMO.

Harbaugh: My plan is basically the opposite of what you’ve been doing.

Tepper: I think we’re going to go another direction.

I feel they dont want Harbaugh because of his desire to be HC and GM to an extent. They are worried about too much on the plate for one person and further adding the hindering of producing wins. I understand this thought process but Harbaugh knows how to build a team that is strong from the ground up and I would take that chance over another unknown or retread any day. We will see how things shake out but we need someone to develop Bryce through developing his support system around him on the field and ensuring the defense stays strong and focuses on stopping the run and PA since we have been abysmal in those departments almost a decade now.
