Apparently Harbaugh Still wants the job here. But Tepper doesn’t want him

Nobody cares, sure, but if for whatever reason the NFL decides to partner up with NCAA to punish Harbaugh, as they did with Jim Tressel, then we've got a real problem. Do you want to bet the reset on that uncertainty? Didn't we just essentially make the same mistake by drafting Bryce?

I mean what are they gonna do, suspend him for 3 or 4 games? Fine him? Take away a draft pick. Who cares, the long term benefit will be worth it.

Not surprising.

 

Tepper wants control. If he's not the voice then he won't hire you. Same reason he didn't hire Wilks. Players had his respect Tepper didn't like that.

 

We will most likely hire his yes man Ben Johnson.

So what you intel on Ben J being a yes man? Outside of just making it up?

This is BS. Pete Carroll was cheating like a mofo at USC and left for the NFL without any consequences. 
 

I doubt anything significant will happen to Harbaugh from the NCAA. Michigan would probably just sue the ncaa and they will fold like always. 

Pete Carroll was the reason the NFL allegedly decided to crack down on college coaches jumping ship to escape NCAA penalties. Remember, the Tressel thing happened after Carroll.

If this is true, we have no hope. This is more depressing than I had imagined because I thought Tepper would be backing up the brinks truck for him. 

Lol. The poo people believe. Harbaugh’s got a legit shot at a national title and people really believe a talking head who wants hits/views/clicks/whatever? Of course Harbaugh is really focused instead on the Panthers job and Tepper has already responded no.

The suspension could be a year or more. That's what it looks like. I live in the midwest, so I've been following this saga much more closely than, say, folks in Carolina. Harbaugh is in some really serious poo. There is no doubt about that.

I just dont see that happening, the nfl know Jim brings ratings, no one likes the ncaa, no one trusts them and no one cares. I doubt it will be anything grave.

I can only image how thier communications went with each other lol.

The only real positive about JH here is that he would have taught Tepper a few things along the way. He was never going to be 'the answer' the fans had hoped for but if it ended up like in SF where shortly after his departure they finally figured it out that would have been the big win. Tepper is years away from being ready to run a decent team.

Us fans don't like the NCAA. NFL doesn't care about our feelings. The NFL as an organization views its relations with the NCAA differently than you and I. Expect the NFL to honor whatever the punishment NCAA hands down. Now, if the NFL decides to water down the eventual penalty, then fine, but we had better get a precise measure before we decide to pull the trigger. 

The point is that we need a new coach now, but the NCAA investigation won't conclude before the next season starts. It's too dangerous of a gamble to be making by chasing after Harbaugh.

Doubt it. UM got the resources and alumni to take it to the NCAA and beat them in a court of law.

    • I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer  
    • Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?
    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
