Harbaugh to Miami: 99% Done

[Anybodyhome]

Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News reports that "indications are" Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh will accept Miami's record-setting contract offer and become the Dolphins' next head coach.

Kawakami acknowledges that it's "not a done deal," but Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is reportedly willing to continue to increase his already monster offer if the 49ers improve theirs. It's clearly come down to a matter of money, and Ross is willing to pony up more. The Niners have reportedly halted negotiations with Harbaugh since offering him $5 million annually. Ross' standing offer is at $7-8 million, and may eventually exceed that. Jan. 6 - 12:32 pm et

Poor San Fran

Actually... Miami probably just did them a favor and saved them a ton of money

Nobody knows nothing. Last night he was supposed to go to San Fran.

I bet Bill Parcels is cussing about that one, if true. They are gonna screw up everything he did there.

Around this same time yesterday it was 99% Done to San Fran...I wish he would just sign somewhere and stop blue balling these teams.

[panther4life]

I feel much better about not getting him now.

[Happy Panther]

But we haven't interviewed him yet.

But we haven't interviewed him yet.

We will be cordial to him, though

its pretty funny that while this is going on Tony Sparano is still the coach lol

[Dpantherman]

Kinda low class to do all of this will you STILL have a Head Coach in place. Now they have to interview a minority candidate to satisfy the rooney rule. and if it were me, I wouldn't take the interview

All I want right now is for him to sign somewhere so Luck comes out. Period.

I'm sure there are some assistants in Miami they can interview to satisfy that.
