Remember, Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby had said that "Jim has indicated he plans to accept" an extension reportedly worth $3 million a year.

Asked about Bowlsby's comment, Harbaugh said: "Maybe he misspoke."

Lol he went thru the trouble to correct the Athletic Director. Why would he do that if he wasn't going to be looking at other options after the season? And if he is going to be looking at other options.... the 40 other options, his chances of going back to Stanford suddenly drop to around 2%.

Don't think it quite translates to "as good as gone" but it's definitely not something I'd want to hear if I were Stanford.

yea i know, but think about his chances of returning after looking at all the other options? Multiple NFL teams, multiple prestigious college programs willing to pay way more than Stanford. I give it about a 2% chance of him returning. And that is very good news on the Andrew Luck front as well.

Maybe Im reading into this too much, well, I probably am.

But I feel as though Harbaugh's decision is more based on Lucks, than Lucks is on Harbaugh's.

That being said, maybe Harbaugh knows more than we do on the way Luck is leaning? :D

So if he is basing his decision on whether Luck leaves or not (which I doubt), then is he thinking that he will struggle once Luck leaves and he better strike while the iron is hot? Personally, I would prefer to see how he does as a college coach when he doesn't have the best college QB in the nation. Might give NFL teams a better idea as to how good of a coach he really is.

Maybe good for us.

Maybe Traidden is reaching a bit.

1 more game, and the new era begins.

Thank God. First thing that needs to happen is Richardson clean house the week after the last game. That should stem the PSL bleeding that is happening. It won't stop till a new HC is named, but he needs to act FAST to salvage the fanbase.

I dont think he thinks he will struggle, but he may think that he brought Stanford about as far as it can go, and losing his top QB that helped him get there, maybe he thinks it may be time to move on to the NFL, or a big name football school

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
