Maybe, but I don't see it that way when the players have already came out and openly criticized him. He's lost them. It's pointless to let him finish out the season now. He's lost us too many games to count.

Well it's not like we're going to bring an outside head coach now, we would make either Chud or McDermott the interim head coach. If the players then rally and win a few games around them, do you want that guy to be your head coach next year? If so, ask niner fans how that worked with Mike Singletary, raiders fans with Tom Cable, and Chiefs fans this year with Romeo Crennel.

They did but reportedly Harbaugh wouldn't even consider it because he didn't want work for JR.

Where'd you hear that from JR? I don't recall that. From the reports I remember, we never even attempted to make contact with him b/c we knew he'd be out of our price range.

Gantt has said all along that Harbaugh was contacted for the coaching search, but I never heard that he flat out turned us down

Oh yeah, I forgot about that... And the huge argument on here about whether Gantt was right or JR and Hurney.

I was under the impression that we contacted him b/c I trust Gantt, but I think we found out how much money/power he wanted and we ruled him out very early on.

I don't really remember but I heard it being reported on some national sports show when ....not sure if it is out in print anywhere or not, Had something to do with Harbaugh and Polian being good friends and he wouldn't even respond to the Panthers request to make him and offer. Also it kind of tied into why Luck stayed in school because he was told by Polian and Harbaugh that coming here wasn't in his best interest.

Take all that for what it's worth...just someone reporting something that they supposedly had an inside track on. I remember thinking at the time that he was very convincing.

Wow, hadn't heard all of that before but it makes plenty of sense.

Well, before the game I made a thread about Kalil's tweet being a clear sign the players know how to fix the glaring holes.....and it is a coaching issue.

People said I was reading 2 much into and a grown ass man who starts as a NFL C just liked to buy other people's jerseys to wear.

Luck's dad came out after his decision to stay in school and said that going to the Panthers had zero to do with them owning the top pick. It sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
