OT: 49ers lose to Cardinals, 23-14
September 21st, 2014 at 8:39 PM ^
I read today ,thank you
September 21st, 2014 at 7:22 PM ^
now you start wishing for failure and a total collapse by his team so he is run out of town, so he can coach michigan? sounds like a brilliant plan for success.
September 21st, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
that is exactly what my plan is
September 21st, 2014 at 7:30 PM ^
Damn good plan if you ask me.
September 22nd, 2014 at 9:00 AM ^
It's a good plan.
September 21st, 2014 at 7:36 PM ^
we are desperate.
September 21st, 2014 at 8:47 PM ^
Total failure is not required. He has already been treated poorly by not extending him, so I don't think it would take anything other than money to pry him loose.
September 21st, 2014 at 7:22 PM ^
Dear God, think about it. The last two Super Bowl winning coaches were his brother and his past college nemesis, and another nemesis, Chip Kelly, is now in the NFL having success too. There is no way Jim is going to take a step backward and coach college football again while his brother, Carroll, and Kelly are still in the NFL. He'll get the Cowboys, Dolphins, Giants or (most likely) Raiders job. End of story ... but would love to hear someone argue against this (the coming-to-Michigan part ... obviously lots of variable in which NFL team he goes to next).
September 21st, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
I'll bite. I don't think Jim likes to not have total control and their is no such thing in the NFL. I also think Jim see's Saban back in college and the Icon he has become and thinks he could rival such a man.
September 21st, 2014 at 7:35 PM ^
I would love to see JH come back here. My first rebuttal would be "then why didn't he come here in 2010?" To which, I suppose you could answer that he was going to try to be the next Bill Walsh, but realized what a pain in the ass NFL coaching is.
You could also argue that Carroll and Kelly were damaged goods from recruiting scandals and fled to the NFL.
I suppose my request for someone to argue my point was to show me where there's hope. So thanks.

why he didn't come here....was never offered, nor was he a serious candidate. Ross asked Brandon if we were targeting him, and if we were the Dolphins would back off...We told him that we were not interested.
If we truly want him, we pony up the doh and at the least tell Brandon to stay the fuck away from football, to fire him outright.

"see's?!"
COME-AUN, MAIN!
September 21st, 2014 at 8:43 PM ^
I think Harbaugh's Ego is big enough that there is nothing he would love more than to be the next Bo and rebuild Michigan to former greatness. It is set up perfectly for the prodigal son to return!
Imagine his legacy if he was successful! He would reach icon status and could coach here forever. Hell he could probably retire here as the AD if he was successful. Careers in the NFL rarely end with statues and buildings named after you. To this day we still talk of Bo and Yost. I can only think of one coach in the NFL that has achieved that kind of icon status!

He would come back for enough money. I think that anybody would. We would never pay him that much though. "Enough money" would probably be "the highest paid coach in all of football, then add at least $1 Million per year on top of that". No way our AD agrees to that. We do have the money though. But we're not willing to pay it out because we need the money to build the women's Jai Alai team a new practice facility.

After yesterday, I don't really consider this to be OT.
please let the Profiles in courage begin first thing in the AM
September 21st, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
This is one of the few things I've been happy about this weekend. My mom is not as big of a fan as I am, but she asked me ''Did the 49ers lose?'' and when we saw they did we both cheered. Yes...this football team might be making me go out of my mind. Just let me have this.
September 21st, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
On his way up and can develop offensive lineman
September 21st, 2014 at 7:35 PM ^
LMFAO!!!!
September 21st, 2014 at 7:29 PM ^
oh sweet baby jesus of all that is holy, please let the 49ers fire jim harbaugh...along with jon at the ravens.

Your avatar is both terrifying and very appealing.
I would be interested in subscribing to your newsletter.

It's incredible to me that the 49ers fans and front office are against Harbaugh. The guy has completely turned around that franchise. They won 46 games in the 8 years before he arrived. He's won 36 in his first 3 years.
September 21st, 2014 at 7:51 PM ^
49er fans are a spoiled group of individuals.

yeah, but he did it with someone else's players. let's see what he can do once his guys are in there and upper classmen and there's no depth issues and yadda yadda yadda... in 3 years i'll be convinced.

"hope he loses the next 13"... So the coach you want to coach here, you want to be a failure? OK...
Look, he's not coming here. That ship has sailed.
September 21st, 2014 at 7:36 PM ^
Because he is getting along so well with the 49ers. Look at Saban and you can't seriously say Harbaugh wouldn't consider coming back.
September 21st, 2014 at 8:11 PM ^
It's not about his relationship with the 49ers. It's about his goals in life. He wants to be in the NFL, and he wants to win a Super Bowl. If it's not with the 49ers, it will be with some other team. Jim Harbaugh will never, ever return to college.
We need to stop dreaming about things that will never happen and start looking for the next Jim Tressel.
September 21st, 2014 at 8:12 PM ^
I Fear your right but i Hope your wrong.

Kudos to you, sir, for fitting 5 spelling/capitalizaton errors in a 9-word sentence.
September 21st, 2014 at 9:31 PM ^
only on MGoBlog is this funny! Well done, good sir!

Missing a comma.

"He will never return to college"
Has he ever publicly said this? This is definitely the popular sentiment, but I'm not sure that there's evidence to support it, other than that the conventional wisdom is that NFL>>>>college. I'm not sure that applies as much as it used to though. College programs can match NFL when it comes to salary if they are willing (or at least come really close), and college teams play in front of larger crowds. It might be more like NFL>college, in which case personal preferences start to become more significant. If Harbaugh had more fun at Stanford than he is having now, then maybe Michigan becomes feasible. Or maybe not and you are right that he's gone for good. I don't know what goes on in Harbaugh's head.
Either way, his agent's number should be on speed dial, and Brandon should be asking him "what's your price"? The worst that can happen is that he says no.

Paying players, car's,bag men,and top it off with oversigning?
September 21st, 2014 at 7:36 PM ^
For fucks sake.
September 21st, 2014 at 7:36 PM ^
September 21st, 2014 at 7:45 PM ^
I don't think anyone is saying they know but rather hoping. I personally would put the percentage rather low to the chances of Jim coming (15%) but as long as the 49ers struggle we have a shot. Are you lobbying for Schiano?
September 22nd, 2014 at 9:08 AM ^
Lots of people are saying they know. Nobody does, but people still feel the need to pipe in with their certainty that neither Jim nor John would ever come here. I can't understand it.
September 22nd, 2014 at 11:48 AM ^
September 21st, 2014 at 7:38 PM ^
the whole "that ship has sailed" thinking. What ship has sailed? Harbaugh didn't come here in 2011, so he can NEVER coach here ever? What kind of logic is that?
Using that logic, several of the relationships I've been in would have never happened. Sometimes timing isn't right, but becomes right later on.
Doesn't mean I think Harbaugh is coming here, but to say there is no chance at all is silly. Unless you have a direct like to Harbaugh, you have no idea what he is thinking. Personally i think he wants to stay in the NFL and coach somewhere else that appreciates him, but who knows?
September 21st, 2014 at 8:52 PM ^
but took SF job instead mainly because his wife didn't want to leave Bay Area and it's a NFL coaching job.
September 22nd, 2014 at 3:07 AM ^
That is what we are talking about. The fact that he decided to take the SF job 4 years ago doesn't mean that there is no chance he won't take the Michigan job now. He wanted to go to the NFL 4 years ago, probably for several reasons including better money, location, and ego. However he's found out since then that the NFL can really suck. He's done nothing but turn SF into a yearly NFL power and almost won a Super Bowl, yet the Niners management is constantly fighting with him and has been rumored to be trying to get rid of him. Thanks for nothing right?
The only question is, will he seek out another NFL job, or come take a job where if he wins he can stay forever on HIS terms and basically retire as a legend? It just depends on what he wants. If a Super Bowl ring is the most important thing to him, well he'll stay in the NFL. But the NFL s**** on coaches every year, even the ones that win Super Bowls. Only in college will he find long-term job security and adolation to go along with winning (unless he lucks into a Belichick or Cowher type situation, which is very rare)
I've said before that I don't think he'll come back to college without a Super Bowl ring, but I also think he'd be happier as a college coach. He's made for motivating college kids to play and building programs, not for fighting with idiot owners and trying to get multi-millionaire players to care.
