Harbaugh played for 13 years, and he played quarterback.

NFL experience isn't a guarantee of success, but Gase doesn't have anything close to a resume' that says 'head coach'.

Add Rivera's 8 years of football career too then.

Convo ends here: "NFL experience isn't a guarantee of success". You answered your own question.

Aaaahhh... no.  Using that logic you could justify hiring a successful high school coach.

 

Rivera had 14 years of NFL coaching experience, and success, before taking a head coaching job.  He had earned the shot.  He just wasn't good enough when he got it.

 

His failure really does nothing whatsoever to bolster the notion that Adam gase deserves a head coaching shot.

Look up clips of him from 'Hard Knocks'.

Like I said, "quirky" (and some would say that's kind).

Hasn't he already been turning down inquiries from pro teams though?

I think he wants to go back to the NFL, but I'm not 100% and you never know with penn state, that's one of the greatest head coaching jobs out there, although I know he never vehemently denied the question when asked about it so there's hope.

      Thielen traded

      i wouldn't say that yet. I also wouldn't say he's done anything that makes me think he's particularly good. i think that's about right for compensation both ways for thielen considering the state of the vikings and Panthers.  The weirdest thing is that technically the panthers should be adding veteran salary cap right now; they have a high cost first overall qb on a rookie contract; that's the best advantage in the NFL in this day and age. It hasn't worked out because, well, the qb they drafted isn't good and they've ignored other parts of the team to try to bolster him.  so what's morgan really supposed to do? Are they tanking with a rookie qb in year three that the owner probably personally wanted drafted? Are they actually trying to win games this year with 80 career catches between their top three receivers? The defense is probably going to be terrible. What kind of jump are people actually expecting from Coker, Bryce, XL, and performance from a rookie to overcome that? It's not realistic.  At the end of the day I don't think Thielen wanted to end his career here and I don't blame him. Minnesota is going to compete this year and Carolina isn't. I also think this is to toss Bryce to the wolves and be done with him one way or another. There's no way this works. This is not a move you make if you're trying to win football games.

      If he helps them win a super bowl the individual award is irrelevant.

      Love the way Duke came out and dominated Elon in the second half. Did not love the way they played at all in the first half. Got a lot of missed tackles on film for this week and the next game's not gonna be easy at all.
