Harbaugh: Don't count out the Vikings

Harbaugh embodies none of the above.

Now, we pair this with another move that looks like pure cronyism.

My bride just sharted in her wedding dress at the reception after making out with the best man.

2 of those 3 are absolutely false. He's extremely cooperative, coaches but loves his players, you can question whether he wants to build for sustained success. He's always in win-now mode 

Please No Harbaugh...Please I beg you Wilf family.

For the last few years Zimmer had run his course and last year it reached a peak for me as a 45yr fan.  It was the first time I could ever remember disliking the HC and QB of my team.  

Harbaugh would make that even worse for me.  All this media and insight about how he is not so bad......Actions speak louder than words and I know he is a complete ass*ole since his playing days and he has not changed with age.

I don't think his schtick would be accepted in the NFL after 8 years...it was running low when he left.  

I am feeling Kwesi the last few rumored interviews.

Now we have Ryans and O'Connell rumored to be coming in for seconds - between those 2 I would want O'Connell.

I am looking forward to Harbaugh and Watson.

Well, they've interviewed something like 10 HC candidates so far, with two of them squaring off in tonight's NFCC game, so I'd say that there's at least a few more interviews ahead.

We dont need to whisper to QBs. We already have one of the most accurate ones around. We need a leader of men.

Take whats working on offense. Bring in new eyes on D and win a friggin championship. 

I was responding to someone saying he is a QB whisperer. Did he have success in the NFL? Yes, but that was 8 years ago. Why is he such a better candidate than the others we have spoke with? Because of what happened nearly a decade ago? He was one 8-4 season away from being fired by Michigan and I would bet a lot of Michigan fans would say he has not met expectations since becoming HC

……lol……because he’s actually had success???  We’re at best throwing out a prayer that any of the young coordinators can turn a franchise around.

Success 8 years ago doesnt make it a guarantee that he will be better than anyone else we are talking to. He won one big ten championship at Michigan, it’s not like we are talking to a guy that left the NFL and was coaching for a national title contender. Maybe he would be good in the NFL again, but a lot has changed so I think it’s fair to be skeptical of the ceiling

I get that Harbaugh is abrasive but it seems like half the people bashing him for not getting along with his GM in SF also wanted Doug Pedersen… who had the same clashes. 

I’d be all for Harbaugh.

Harbaugh has had clashes since he was a player and everywhere else, he has gone.  Looking into a mirror Jim:  Geez I clash with everyone what is the common denominator?  Not me, I'm Jim Harbaugh :)

Strictly speaking as to when he coached the 49'ers, maybe he had good reason to beef with Baalke.
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/01/27/report-adrian-wilson-in-trent-baalke-out-as-jaguars-g-m/ 

A league source tells PFT that Leftwich basically gave the Jaguars an ultimatum: It’s me or Trent.

It’s a stunning move, but it underscores the concerns many had about owner Shad Khan’s decision to keep Baalke around. As one league source explains it to PFT, multiple candidates refused to even interview for the Jacksonville job if Baalke was going to remain in place as the General Manager.

I live in the Philly market - Pederson was undermined and handcuffed - I also hate the Eagles so for me to admit that is I think revealing.

Yes, I am sure Harbaugh pumps up all his draft eligible players.  But does he tell the scouts the negative stuff?

Finally, the interview process also helps the team, as the interviewee will be assessing the team.  Interviews can produce valuable insights.  So, it is a win for everyone.

Harbaugh wouldn't do this regardless? Again, if they have a relationship it wouldn't require some sort of tit for tat. And would, as you say, be a win for everyone. 

I am sorry, but I was responding to you writing this: "I'd lose all respect for Kwesi if less than a week on the job he knowingly allowed himself to be used for a buddy to get a pay bump."  Now, you are agreeing with me that interviewing Harbaugh would be a "win for everyone."  Confused.

The win win I speak of if Harbaugh gives good intel is the Vikes win from play acquisition standpoint. Michigan wins because the more players drafted the more it helps recruiting .

 The intel I am talking about is the bad intel -- the character flaws that may not be seen -- the Underwood intel.   This type of intel hurts draft status.  As you say, Harbaugh has the motivation to blow smoke up scounts' asses in order to improve the draft status of Michigan players -- so giving Kwesi more insider information would be valuable.  Moreover, this type of itching each other back is very prevalent at this level.  You are basically saying Kwesi would just be helping Harbaugh for no benefit at all and therefore you would be disappointed with Kwesis for doing so.  You don't think Kwesi doing a favor will not have an impact down the road.  Interesting view of the altruistic nature of man.

And then there were THREE...the @Vikings search for a new head coach is reportedly down to three finalists. #KFANVikeshttps://t.co/cbtvckYult

If the #Vikings can land Jim Harbaugh somehow, that will be another coach in Minnesota that believes in culture. @VernonDavis85 said Harbaugh changed the 49ers culture. Nolan to Singletary then Harbaugh he said there was no comparison w/ culture. They went from 6-10 to 13-3.
