But for all the HC speculation there has been about whether Harbough is going to leave after this season, I have it on good authority that he is gone after this season to the NFL. I've even heard that he's told his players he will be leaving as well so that probably means Luck is out as well.

It'd make sense.

He accepted an offer to interview last year (Jets) so there's plenty of reason to believe he wants to be an NFL coach. Given his success this season, the timing could be right.

Is there precedent for anything even close to that (coach picking former player #1 in the draft) before? I know the rumors about Caroll giving anyone from USC a chance, but other than that...

It does make me a bit uneasy to be honest, but if Luck is any good I'll forget about it quickly enough.

I can't recall an instance of a coach and QB rising to the NFL for the same team at the same time.

It may have happened, but not at any time I can recall. If so, it was probably a long time ago.

If we get the #1 pick and hire Harbaugh, expect ESPN's research department to get right on that question.

I wonder if Harbaugh's comments indicate that he has already had a job offer, or just letting his players know he will be going after one. There's no way he had any real contact during the season already for a job offer is there? I know that's a big no no between pro teams but I don't know the situation with colleges. I don't know enough about this stuff, heh.

It'd be tampering if anyone contacted him early.

I doubt he has a job already but I think he is smart enough to know he'll have offers, whether it be near Stanford or not. It might not even be a HC job that he takes in the NFL. I can't remember a time when a QB/HC combo came out together to the same team.

The only way I see us landing Harbough is if he truly believes all the things he says about Luck and we guarantee that we will draft Luck. Otherwise there are more attractive offers for him in my opinion.

I still don't have my mind made up like others do that Harbough/Luck are best for us anyway.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
