"Speculation around the league" that we've reached out to John Harbaugh

After reading that article on the Raiders, I am placing a lot less blame on Carroll than before. He could have some left in the tank but that situation sounded like it was untenable. 

He is also turning 75 (looks to be in great shape for 75), but do you want him starting a rebuild with the top pick in the draft. Once it’s time to decide on that QB’s 2nd contract he is going to be pushing 80…

We hired Canales because no one wanted to work for Tepper.  He showed improvement in year two and made the playoffs. He deserves another year, and hopefully Morgan won't revert to idiot mode w/ player personnel/draft decisions.  

Look, Mayo deserved more time in New England but when they saw Vrabel available....decision made.

He deserves another year unless for some unknown reason Harbaugh wanted to be here. Its fantasy.

Panthers came out flat and he made bone headed decisions every time they had a chance to put the division away.

Harbaugh is going to be some team's big mistake. Mark my words; this is Pete Carroll to the Raiders all over again. Longtime successful coach gets a new job based off past success but it ends up going horribly.

Thats my hunch but its working in Denver.

He's what I would call a "bridge coach." Build culture and then hand it off.

Not sure "you went to the playoffs with Bryce Young at QB and got fired" is a great strategy for future coach hires.

I mean, the track record is already established, there is zero left to lose on that front.

If it fails, you are back to where you started. If he succeeds, no one remembers anyway.

Maybe actually win and deserve to be in the playoffs. Not this lose the last two games in a row and have to rely on another team to get you in the playoffs.

    • I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
    • I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
