Harbaugh Leaning Towards NFL Per Schefter

I just peed a little.

Now this from Fowler's new article just posted on Harbaugh:

Yup, he has connections here. There is a chance, but I think it may be somewhat slim. It really depends. I think JR is aware of the hype about Harbaugh and Luck and I would not be surprised if he and Hurney aren't discussing this right now.

Also, the whole "we passed on Rodgers so we'll pass on Luck" thing is kinda weird. So totally different situations...

Yeah, kinda like when Aaron Rogers was sitting there and the Panthers took Thomas Davis.

When healthy, Davis is a good LB, Rogers, an all Pro QB, and will be for a long time. Some things never change.

A few other teams missed it with Rogers too. And Foxy did not like to draft a QB.

This is a new day.

"team source" supposedly is why ESPN is saying Harbaugh won't be getting an offer here. Wonder who or if it's just made up?

I honestly don't expect JR to go after Harbaugh, but I wish he would. It's not that I think JR is cheap or whatever, I just think he is too much in the "Win the way the Steelers do" mentality. He has to realize a break with that tradition would really energize this fan base. But I think he ultimately plans on winning a championship more than making a big splash with a big name hire and he probably thinks a coordinator is more likely to be capable of it... but all that is speculation so I hold out hope.

Where did you get that from? I mean, I'm sure like most national guys they say it came from a team source, but I never heard Schefter actually say it came from a source.

I think most of what Schefter says is pure speculation... throw enough crap at the wall and something will eventually stick.

I really want Luck, so I'm mostly interested in seeing Harbaugh leave Stanford because that will most certainly cause Luck to leave for the NFL. Harbaugh in Denver would be interesting, because Denver holds the 2nd pick in the draft and Luck might pull an Eli Manning (or John Elway) on us. Elway would most certainly support this approach since he himself employed the same tactic by refusing to play for the Colts.

Don't mean to be a downer, I really want Luck but this whole Denver thing just crossed my mind... if Harbaugh goes to Denver I'm going to be really concerned about Luck.

Schefter on ESPN - but I can't find it in text so not sure if I misheard or what.

EDIT: Found it:

Despite the speculation, it will not be Carolina, according to sources. The Panthers are expected to move in a different direction that won't involve Harbaugh; they are likely to hire an established NFL assistant coach

Though in that one he just says "sources" so maybe "sources" didn't mean team sources but "poo I made up to throw at a wall." Also, he says Harbaugh won't want to go to SF.

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/rumors/_/date/20110103#7476

Now wouldn't it be amusing if the Panthers refuse Harbaugh, Harbaugh refuses Michigan, Luck remains at Stanford and so does Harbaugh? It would make sense with our luck.

Wonder if the "team source" is John Fox. He has been speaking with all the outlets recently.

I love how when someone like Schefty says that Harbaugh isn't coming here, people jump on him but when someone says that Harbaugh is in the mix here, that person gets praised.

Fact is, this forum is so biased its ridiculous, its like fans want to hear what they want to hear and not take anything else seriously...

There are other candidates, you know? To say that none of them wouldn't be successful but Harbaugh will is stupid considering that like most of the candidates he hasn't been a HC in this league

Again college and pros are completely different levels

In his 15th and final NFL season as a quarterback, Harbaugh was a backup to Chris Weinke for the Panthers' 1-15 season of 2001.

"I didn't get in any games that year," Harbaugh told me Sunday. "I signed late, and they had eight games to go. I loved it - loved the coaches that were there and the organization. I especially loved throwing to Steve Smith. We were both on the scout team at that time. It didn't take me long to realize that he was really good. I just kept throwing the ball to him and we were making plays and having fun."

See, Harbaugh can get the ball to Smith. Sign him, damn it!

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      It's actually interesting you mention Richardson because I've seen it suggested here Bryce will have 500 or more rushing yards and 5-10 rushing touchdowns this year. And if big Anthony Richardson can get hurt carrying the rock what's that tell you about the practicality of thinking Bryce won't?

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
