No harbaugh coming here

how did you get cheap from this? He's said repeatedly he'll spend money on a coach. Their primary concern is winning and they pointed out that the winning coaches have come from the assistants, that playoffs teams are built that way, and of course (ugh) that the Steelers are.

Won't sign players until the CBA is done is his stance... has been all along.

I got cheap because it is cheap. He didn't have to say "I'm cheap." It's obvious. He doesn't want to go after a big name because it will cost more. He'd rather play duck, duck, goose, with loser assistants like Perry Fewell that shouldn't be anything more than positional coaches.

So that way we can come back 5 years from now looking for another new coach and say that one didn't work out, but hey, he saved a couple mil.

he didn't have an opinion one way or the other about harbaugh or any coach for that matter. all he said is that money wasn't going to be a factor. he did say that they were going to be a lot pickier about what they expect from them.

wow some people are just fuging stupid.

Harbaugh is a college coach, before the Luck/Harbaugh scenario arose every single one of us would have scoffed at hiring a college coach.

Now he's the second coming of Jesus The Golden Calf of Bristol and JR is "cheap" if he doesn't hire Harbaugh. Jesus what a bunch of pussies

JR isn't getting in a bidding war for Harbaugh, since he's never been an NFL Coach is my guess.

Personally I think the Harbaugh/Luck scenario, while expensive up front would generate enough buzz to more than Pay for the investment down the field. Compared to where we are going, Russ Grimm

So many fans are acting like spoiled brats, have you ever seen somebody run a business before?

Should we hire Cowher since he won the Superbowl 5 years ago? We did that with Seifert I don't remember that working out too well.

He was paying Fox and staff 11.5 million which he said was 5th highest in the league. How is that cheap?

Harbaugh might want more than just a lot of money. He might want more control of a team than we are willing to give. Also, how many times does the man need to say he's not going to be cheap before you believe him? Having the 5th highest paid staff in the NFL is by no means cheap.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
