Jim Harbaugh could be Carolina Panthers' real deal

Harbaugh: "I think you play as long as you can, and then you coach, and then you die."

"Harbaugh also bows to no one, which former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly might remember. In 1997, while still a player, Harbaugh took a swing at Kelly after Kelly had questioned Harbaugh's toughness in a TV broadcast."

This is actually a decent article if you want to know a little more about Harbaugh.

Quote I liked...

Said Oliver Luck, the father of star quarterback Andrew and a former NFL quarterback himself: "In the parents' section, I sit there with heart surgeons, partners in major law firms - these kids are mostly from affluent families.

"And yet Jim has convinced these kids they are a lunch-pail, unionized, when-in-doubt-hit-somebody kind of team. Prior to Jim, Stanford was considered soft. Now those players smack you in the face. And that's all Jim."

Quote I loved...

Said Harbaugh: "I enjoy being out on the field and having your fingers right in the pie. I enjoy the feeling that gives you. You feel like you're walking out on a ledge: 'What the heck are we doing this to ourselves for?

Gannt seems sure that Harbaugh is in the consideration despite Schefter and every other national media talking head....I'm going with Darin on this one....

daringantt‎ They have, despite reports. RT @TedtheThird Why is all the Harbaugh talked centered on SF? You would think Car would give a look.

You're right, Darin Gantt is a much more highly respected football writer for the local Charlotte or Gastonia paper than Adam Schefter is a national NFL writer. Gantt has better sources and has open doors everywhere around the league while Schefter is some hack trying to eek out a living behind a typewriter.

Could both be right. Gantt one would think has good sources in the Panther HQ. So Gantt's assertion that the Panthers are interested could be true. Schefter could have sources close to Harbaugh saying he isn't interested in Charlotte and also be correct. Either Gantt or Schefter could also be getting smokescreens from people inside JR's secret lair.

national writers also have a lot more to cover so they don't know as much as a local guy.

I wouldn't underestimate the credibility of the writer that has covered the panthers and only the panthers for years.

Doesn't mean Gantt is the better journalist but I'm positive he's going to have the scoop better than most.

You could take a 3 star chef and he couldn't make BBQ as good as a 50 year old pit master.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
