Harbaugh NFL rumors begin
- Thread starter PSUJam
- Start date
Chicago Bears - not too far from Ann Arbor.
Or Indianapolis, this year he finally found the place after years of wandering around Ann Arbor like Moses in the Sinai.
Interesting….I used to think CFB was the better gig but no way I’d want to be a big time CFB coach with the portal, NIL, etc.
Exactly right. And don't be surprised to see a few CF coached with NFL experience head back to the NFL'
Don't know how reliable it is, but another site said that it's rumored that Texas A&M (donors) has spent somewhere between $20 and 25 million for their #1, all- time greatest 2022 class. Even other schools in the SEC are complaining. If this is true, CF will be ruined in 5 years if not sooner
The great thing about the NFL is once you are in the club you can stay there forever. There are so many former HC's floating around the NFL as assistants. If they want their names will eventually circle back to the top of many lists. If you don't mind the carrousel you don't ever have to get off.
By making the playoff he missed out on the top college jobs. Can't imagine he wouldn't have loved the USC job.
Jimbo, please stay. #blindsquirrelfoundcfpin21won'thappenforanothertenyears
With all the recent craziness now introduced into the college game, it does feel as though many college coaches may start to listen when NFL teams come calling.
Remember that he took a pay cut this year too and was applauded here for it.
I find it hard to believe they'd bring him in with the way it ended in Houston. But then again, that owner would be the one to pull something like that.
Probably a negotiating tacticRemember that he took a pay cut this year too and was applauded here for it.
If UM still wants him they have to return the money lost plus money up big time. Jimmy's laughing now.Remember that he took a pay cut this year too and was applauded here for it.
All the power to him if he can parlay one good season back into an NFL head coaching job.
I can't see O'Brien wanting to deal with the college game unless it's his only option. I do think coaches known for 'hustling' (like Franklin), and those with vast university resources/support, like Bama) will fare better in the new CFB landscape if they have the support and resources to do it. OB is a very good, smart coach, but I can't see him pitching NIL deals to high school kids.
I like Jim, but honestly this seems like a dumb move. He is in his upper 60's and hasn't been a HC in like 5 years and hasn't coached at all in 3. jacksonville really needs someone like a Kliff Kingsbury. Young and energetic.
I believe he meant Jim Caldwell, whom I posted was interviewing for the Jax position.
Lol, thanks. It all makes sense now. Tom, where the hell is my delete button?
Harbaugh also just went to NCAA Playoffs.. Jim Caldwell hasn't coached since 2019. I love Jim Caldwell, but taking off the BW Glasses, there are tons of coaches and coordinators that would be a better fit for jacksonville IMO.
Now if Jacksonville would have hired him in 2019, I would say it was a great hire by them, but alot has changed in 5 years.
Leftwich makes too much sense for the position. They'll probably try to lure 75 year old Tom Coughlin out of retirement.
Michigan prez has an Ivy League background and is not a huge football supporter. The team probably hit its ceiling this season. Won't be surprised at all if he heads to the NFL
I don't see Seattle or Carolina opening up. The obvious ones are Jacksonville, Las Vegas, and likely Chicago. For maybes I would add Denver, Minnesota, NYG, and maybe Houston.
This year could be one of the smallest turnovers of HC's in a while.
Carolina will def open up.. They started 3-0 and are now what 5-11? Word is he has lost the team. I am actually surprised he hasn't been fired yet.
Houston probably not, it's a mess with the Watson situation, they knew Culley was going to struggle. One thing is Davis Mills has played better lately. I don't see them firing another coach.
These teams at some point are going to have to give a guy a few years to work through this. I just don't see how firing a coach every year is progress on teams that draft top 5 every season.
Yeah, I expect Rhule to get the axe. Nobody survives a “lost the locker room” indictment, idle rumor or not.

I could also see him stepping down, as I've heard whispers that he doesn't love the NFL.
If Harbaugh bolts UM, it would be a very tempting opening for Rhule.
