San Jose Mercury News reports Harbaugh could be Niner coach by Thursday

[communist]

I read that Harbaugh and Baalke have the same agent as well...

Idk how I feel about this though, because I'm worried that if he stays close to Stanford then Luck may be more inclined to stay. I know it isn't a very likely scenario because being an NFL coach is a full-time job, and he won't really be there for Luck to help him anymore... But, in terms or familiarity and comfort, I don't like that he's staying close by.

BTW, is this THE BAALKE?

Intense, I think the media turned to stone.

Good, the minute Harbaugh leaves Stanford Luck is ours!

I would much rather see Harbaugh go to the 49ers than Denver... going to Denver might mean Luck would pull an Eli Manning on us.

Bill Voth just tweeted this, interesting:

#Panthers claim they haven't talked to Harbaugh. Maybe it's because, according to @timkawakami -- he's not returning their calls.

hmm, that puts a TOTALLY new spin on what was said at the presser earlier today, LOL

It also does not bode well for Luck wanting to come here - if his coach hates us enough not to return call... what does it mean?

I hope that's not the case. But, if Luck knew this before the game I think his responses would've been more telling and he would've been more willing to say he was gonna stay in school.

Could just be time for them to make a clean break form each other and it won't influence him at all.

Not really, JR said he had not considered Harbaugh for the HC position and such that hadnt talked to him.

I'd agree with you if he just said he hadnt talked to him.

I feel that Jim really doesn't want to leave the West Coast.

Can you imagine what he, and the 49ers, are going to want for Luck?

If I was the Panthers, I'd be tempted to be like, you give us your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks from this draft, and your 1st and 2nd from next years draft, and you can have the number one pick.

Do you really want Hurney handling more draft trade negotiations?

I think that this trade would be so straight-forward, it would be hard to mess up. Seriously.

I'm talking about making sure that the Niners trade almost everything that they have. If they truly want Luck, they would have to pay a true King's Ransom.

And maybe we could grab another one of those QBs out of the Draft.

[Mr. Scot]

Or we could just say "screw you, we're taking the pick".

[Ruff]

Or we could just say "screw you, we're taking the pick".

That would be even sweeter.

the issue here is the availability of pot.
