Harbaugh to Miami: 99% Done

[Biscuit]

Hopefully this is the last lesson he teaches his young disciple. Grab the cash while you can, Andrew!

i wonder how hennegivensunday feels about this

[Anybodyhome]

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

They probably did when they spoke with the Italian-American head coach currently in the job...

Damn even better he wont be close to Luck just in case Luck was thinking of staying in College since his J.H. would have still been close.

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

Thats the same thing I was saying last night. It's the most awkward situation ever. Imagine how weird it'll be between Management/Ownership and Sparano if they DON'T hire Harbaugh. And if they do hire him I feel sorry for the guy they have to bring in for the Rooney Rule interview.

What's the penalty if Miami sign Harbaugh without interviewing a minority candidate?

Really is a slap in the face of the Rooney rule if it happens. Heck they still actually have a coach. Of course if you are oline coach or WR coach, and they offer 100K for an interview, think I would show up.

49ers fans dreams are crushed.

If it is the case, it will make it very hard for Harbaugh to trade for his former QB as they sit in the 15th slot. They would have to give us a huge amount in return and that should end any speculation of Luck demanding to be with his former coach.

In 2003, the NFL fined the Detroit Lions $200,000 for failure to interview minority candidates for the team's vacant head coaching job. After Marty Mornhinweg was fired, the Lions immediately hired former San Francisco 49ers head coach Steve Mariucci to replace him without interviewing any other candidates. The Lions claimed they attempted to interview other candidates but that the minority candidates withdrew from interviews, believing Mariucci's hiring was inevitable

Last time it was $200,000. But If I was the NFL I would up that because for organizations worth Hundreds of millions and in some cases billions of dollars, $200,000 is nothing and it kind of makes it seem like the Rooney Rule is only in place for appearances rather than actually giving minority coaches a legitimate shot.

I'm still worried he won't declare for the draft.
