Harbaugh to meet with Chargers next week, Raiders also interested

[NAS]

 

After months of speculation, things are about to ramp up on Jim Harbaugh's potential return to the NFL.

Sources say it's believed the Chargers will speak next week with Harbaugh, who has indicated to associates there's a real possibility he could leave the University of Michigan to become Los Angeles' head coach.

The Las Vegas Raiders also continue to weigh a potential pursuit of Harbaugh, who led his alma mater to its first national championship in the College Football Playoff era on Monday night. However, sources say there remains support among many in the extended Raiders family for interim coach Antonio Pierce -- including in the locker room, with All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby will explore a trade request if Pierce isn't retained, according to sources.

Meanwhile, sources say negotiations are ongoing with Michigan as the school makes an effort to sign Harbaugh to a contract extension, particularly in light of other recent movement within college football.

It has always been said he had a west coast bias.

Harbaugh to the Chargers is a match. It’s honestly the best situation for an established coach like him looking to make an impact quickly. Harbaugh took a talented but underachieving 49ers roster and made them a Super Bowl contender in literally one offseason. 

Meanwhile the Raiders should view the Panthers as a cautionary tale when considering passing over a successful interim coach, as well as themselves a few years back even making the playoffs with an interim head coach. You’d think they’ve learned their lesson.

I can’t imagine Harbaugh is genuinely interested in the Panthers job with so many other more appealing openings available. Aside from the fact that David “there’s no salary cap for coaches” Tepper might pay him an insane and fully guaranteed contract.

The chargers are really cheap. No way they will pay him what he wants.

That’s why I say…the only way the Panthers could sway Harbaugh would be with $$$ the Chargers might not be willing to dish out.

We should be all in on this. But Tepper is a dumbass

Yep, been hearing it all week (even before) on different media. They must be really really cheap. I also heard somewhere (maybe 99.9 The Fan) that the son John thinks he's some kind of football savant and that he and Harbaugh would bump heads, so it would never work. 

All that being said, Harbaugh absolutely thinks that Justin Herbert is the next best thing since sliced bread according to Greeny. They had a random conversation that gravitated to QBs and Harbaugh went on for five minutes straight about what a superstar in the making that Herbert is.

We'll just swap Herbert and Young in the middle of the night. No one will be able to tell the difference.

Harbaugh to Vegas, Crosby to Panthers via trade for Young, Crosby/Burns/Brown/Luvu, sign a temp vet QB, draft a QB in 2025. Profit.

The coach they just fired was being paid $4 million a year. 
 

That has to be the lowest paid HC job out there.
