Ravens Harbaugh Fired

Apparently rumors are Lamar Jackson has been unhappy with Harbaugh and the staff overall. I've largely been rather indifferent to Lamar but I don't see why he has that kind of organizational pull considering he can't even get over the playoff hump. If he continues to fail to move forward in the playoffs or fails to make the playoffs at all with a new staff he only has himself to blame. Regardless he is now putting the pressure squarely on his own shoulders. Good luck bud.

I agree but I think its a mix of two things.  One is that it's been 18 years so that change was going to come at some point anyways.  He's been there forever.  The 2nd is that they are heavily financially committed to Lamar Jackson, so its a chance to push all the chips to the middle of the table for them.  If it flops, they can say they did everything they could to get Lamar over the hump.  If they keep losing in the playoffs with Harbaugh they can't say that.

When Tepper bought the Panthers we all expected his wealth to be an advanatage because he could basically buy any coach or GM.  As we all know, it hasn't gone this way and if Tepper was smart, he'd give Harbaugh or Tomlin whatever they want to come here because these types of coaches would instantly change the culture.  

His wealth isn't his issue and he has blown chunks of it just not effectively. He is a terrible manager which includes hiring and control. Good managers let their people do their thing until they need to step in, that's not Tepper. He is also partial to snake oil salesmen and loves him some yes men.

He still hasn't shown the ability to work with someone with a giant and earned ego that wouldn't kiss the ring. Those guys have 'poor interviews'.

    • Rico is 0%. I think we would really like to have Mays back but we have a value in mind and aren't willing to overspend. I think someone probably will so I think the odds are pretty low but not zero.
    • Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though. 
    • 13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
