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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
