While I am not opposed to the Harbaugh hiring, he better bring in some good support staff as well...
if SD is right I'm not even going to renew my Sunday Ticket!
I am right...
would you consider Harbaugh a budget HC?
Nope. He would be a fantastic HC. But we will still have the wrong GM + Jed + Paraage. So I don't think much has changed. Further people are already warning him about the Yorks. As they should. And I see it as highly unlikely he will come here. Harbaugh can have his pick of 5 - 10 NFL jobs and 20 College jobs if he wanted them. And he can name his price. Why would he come here?
lol why are you talking as if you know whats going on...
Jim Harbaugh would be a fantastic NFL coach? based on what? Hes been the Raiders QB coach for 2 years. thats his NFL experience. because Stanford has been successful, and theyre the hometown team, somehow this justifies how hed do in the NFL?
i agree that as long as the same guys stay in charge up top, were going to be bad either way, but everyone whos praying for Jim Harbaugh is out of their mind. previous NFL head coaching success. Jim Harbaugh doesnt have this. college coaches rarely work out in the NFL, and this definitely isnt the system for a college coach to breeze right into the NFL with no experience, and turn it into a winner.
hire Harbaugh, set the team back another 2-3 years, and were talking about hiring a new coach again. "Erickson is going to be great! Nolan is going to be great! Singletary is going to be great!......Harbaugh is going to be great!"
how many times do we have to do this before people realize it doesnt work...
oh boy, past success as an NFL HC doesn't imply future success either. Look at the recent teams: GB, Atlanta, New Orleans, Eagles, Steelers, Ravens. They all hired HCs with NO PREVIOUS HEAD COACHING EXPERIENCE. They were coordinators who were successful.
Then you look at coaches who haven't worked out: Childress, Jim Zorn, McDaniels, Crennel, Gibbs, Wade Phillips, Everyone in Detroit. Then you have coaches like Marriucci, Walsh, Jimmy Johnson who were sucessful in the NFL coming from College programs.
There is no exact science to this. There is no get coach with criteria A, B, C. Just get someone who can coach.
