After watching Mississippi State straight up destroy Michigan in every facet of the game how attractive does that job look? 3-5 in a weak conference, low level of talent defensively, unreasonable boosters, etc.. 49ers can offer a job close to home but that is pretty much it. They have a mess of a front office, a horrible QB situation, bad ownership, and so forth. Harbaugh could go to Carolina, get paid, coach up his big time QB from Stanford, and he would inherit a team that has young talent all over the roster. If I'm Harbaugh it's a no brainer to sign with the Panthers.

The san fran thing being close to home is only so relevant. I assume he only lives out in ca cuz of his current job. I really think its down to us and Michigan.

NFC South is the hardest division in the league, from top to bottom. A few tweaks and Carolina is a contender again. Why wouldn't a coach want to come here and prove how good he is or isn't. Yeah, he could go easy and go to SF and into the shittiest division, but does that really prove anything?

Of course competing with Carroll again is probably tempting....

Don't count out Stanford keeping him. I think they will make a strong attempt.

I think this was a very good thing, even if Harbaugh doesn't come to Carolina.

Michigan getting owned pretty much assures that Rich Rodriguez is OUT. That alone pretty much guarantees Harbaugh won't be at Stanford next season, which increases the chances of Luck entering the draft.

I personally don't see Harbaugh coming here. I think he goes to Michigan, and Luck declares so he doesn't have to deal with a new coaching staff.

Stanford will never pass up either Oregon and USC when they are back. Not to mention Washington who is on the up and up in that conference. It's just an easier job getting in talent to those programs on a yearly basis than Stanford. He's best suited making the jump to a respectable NFL team in a nice city.

it was ridiculous how ugly that game was. MSU could have put up 70 if they had wanted to. I don't think Michigan scored outside of the 1st quarter.

and if he doesn't choose the NFL; Michigan will for sure offer him a better chance at success at the college level.

Harbaugh is looking at a 3-5 year rebuilding job at Michigan. In Carolina depending on Luck that could be a year or two. With how fast rookie QBs have adapted lately he could do pretty well immediately with the Panthers. I just don't see how he could win quickly at Michigan. He would have to recruit the players for a pro-style offense when he has a cupboard full of spread option guys, a JV quality defense, and the perception of Michigan being a fallen program since Carr's 2nd to last year or so. That hyped up OSU-Michigan game in 2006 seems like a decade ago.

Just like with a draft pick he's taking a risk no matter what he decides to do.

He could go to Michigan and (theoretically) immediately win...somehow - he could also come to Carolina and be in a black pit of losing despair for years.

I do think you're right in that his odds are better in Carolina though - assuming the "wtf college coaches can't coach in the NFL" bug doesn't bite him.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
