Jim Harbaugh Back to the NFL?

[SunsTzu]

Harbaugh would be my #1 choice by far. The guy can coach.

He’s not an ******* at all. He’s just a bit set in his ways.

Thought he had the Vikings job last year and interviewed that way. He didn’t turn them down, he was never offered.

Michigan made him take a pay cut 2 years ago. Don’t think he’s forgotten that.

He’d be ideal for the Cards. No nonsense winner. Who cares how he is at press conferences. He’ll win.

Yeah, Harbaugh is far and aware my #1 pick. It's not just his resume, which speaks for itself, but it is probably the only hire that would instantly believe the organization is serious about changing.

One would think Harbaugh would have a leg up on talent entering the draft.

Have any other teams set up interviews with him, other than possibly Denver?

bummed that we're not in the mix here yet. he's rebuilt programs from the ground up everywhere he's gone to championship game or consistent playoff level. And he's usually done that turnaround pretty quickly, repeatedly.

yes, he hasn't WON a title yet, but that can't be the only thing that matters. it won't with other coaches outside of Payton.

Me too. He is my number one candidate by far.

especially because there wouldn't be compensation involved.

especially because there wouldn't be compensation involved.

And he has a better track record of turning around bad franchises more than once.

Harbaugh ain't coming here.

Grab the copium if you need it.

 

[slanidrac16]

Asking Harbaugh to come here when Payton is the guy you want might be insulting to both parties.

Let's be clear. I'd be happy with either one. I'd prefer the coach that we don't have to give up a premium draft pick or two for.

 

[THESMEL]

Yes he is my favorite - fundamental sound football coach.

we all know there is only one thing driving Jim Harbaugh back to the NFL.

He lost in the Super Bowl
to his brother.

Can anything suck more than that? I mean holy crap that has to gnaw on him every day.

Harbaugh > Payton

You ever hear Jim Rome’s bit about Karl Malone eating Thanksgiving dinner with his daughter? (She won a WNBA championship, IIRC)

What would the Card offence and defense look under Payton or Habaugh - Roster? Schemes? Overall Approach? Anyone want to give it a shot.

Payton is on record that it needs balance and a running game to take pressure off of Murray.

With Jim, I think we all know it would be similar to San Francisco...power running, with timely passing and a QB making occasional plays with his legs.
