Harbaugh not returning our calls?

I don't buy for a second that Harbaugh would just go off what the media says about what we'd pay him.

If he knows anything about what we would or wouldn't pay, or will and won't give, it's because he got it from the source.

I'm sure he wouldn't either, being that he played here, but I'm sure it has jaded some candidates to a degree. And not just the media, I'm sure Foxy is letting anyone know how he feels that's willing to listen.

What I found really interesting is, there's only 53 guys on the roster each year during the season, not counting practice squad guys...

So, JR's reaction basically inferring that he didn't know him and sure he was a nice guy was awkward. So we had him for over a half season in the final year of a pretty good career and you didn't even meet him then? I just found that weird.

According to Gantt, it had already happened or was already in the works.

But today, the team claimed to not be interested.

So did they just all of a sudden get interested after the press conference, or had there already been contact?

Which one sounds more believable?

Valid.

None of the above.

Gantt had a bad source and this beat writer in SF is speculating.

Far more believable, imo.

Well, I personally believe in every case, despite rules, that tampering and talks go on all the time that we never hear about. So, I think it's very likely that it already happened... Which would make it easy to assume if they discussed parameters at all that Harbaugh cut off conversations b/c they weren't in the same ballpark money-wise.

To further that... My source, Dpantherman, just re-tweeted a tweet (stay with me) by Joseph Person (observer writer, I think) that Hurney was spotted at the Orange Bowl last night. Easily believable for both Luck and Harbaugh.

And if you ask me, Harbaugh wasn't just in a hurry to blow off reporters for the sake of not talking to them. Also, Hurney did look a bit tired in the presser today.

I would just hope that if we've already talked, Harbaugh at least gave us a listen and we didn't insult him.

JR needs to pony up and pay for a good coach. There's no salary cap on coaches. He probably makes 6 million a year on Brat sales alone! I used to think he was the best owner in the league. Now I think his new little grinch heart is ruining him.

I find this report to be more believable than what was presented at the press conference today...how could the panthers not have ANY interest in Harbaugh?

he has virtually no pro coaching experience, and is about as far from a "Steelers hire" as possible.

To be honest, if Harbough is looking for control of personell decisions then I wouldn't want anything to do with him in Carolina. I would find it hard to even justify giving him the contract he seems to think that he deserves, which seems to be a top tier contract in the 5-6 million range.

Now if San Fran gets him with no strings attached and a contract at around 3-4 million a year then I would be upset that Carolina never even tried to get him.

      I know the offer to Lloyd came out, but I never saw that anything was officially offered to May or Donovan. Not saying it didn’t happen, just curious what the source is.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By strato · Posted

      I haven’t scouted them to say, because I am not GM and have no say. The Miami kid, but he will probably be gone. Freeling. Proctor is interesting. Like I said I haven’t really scouted but I would look closer at him because I have seen some claiming he has the quickness and feet even at his inflated size. So I would look closer at that.  My ideal outcome is one of the top guys who are probably not gonna fall, falls and we use 19 on him. Obviously, I guess. I am  not wanting to trade up or anything - not putting it like code red at all costs, but if we get a chance to get that covered I would for sure want to take it.  Also it looks like we might be able to drop down a few slots and find a future RT at decent value which I would also be fine with.  I think if someone fell that made 19 a hot pick, then I would want to trade out unless it was a top T.  I would probably want to get a run stopper for the DL if the tackle thing didn’t fall right. That is what I voted for here because I feel it is more likely that we don’t have things fall to fit my scenario.
