CC: elway back with broncos. first order of business; bring in harbaugh.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
Even if he ends up leaving Seattle, I'm pretty sure he'd be at the top of the wish list for a bunch of college athletic directors the next day.
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:24 PM ^
It's all dependent on what he wants. If he wants to coach in the pros, he can do so today, and he will. If he wants to coach Michigan, then this is his one chance, just like it's probably Michigan's one chance to get him. If his dream is the pros, he's not going to come here and leave us later, because why take the job in the first place when he has a choice of NFL jobs? But if he really wants to coach Michigan, he probably can't take the NFL money and hope Rich sticks around a few more years for him to take the job then. He has to take it now. No one really knows what he wants. But the one thing that's for sure - Jim Harbaugh is going to land on his feet, and have a damn good job. Whether Michigan does, or say, the 49ers do, is a whole other story.

LETS ROCK!!
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:43 PM ^
I wonder how high Dave will try and outbid the NFL teams if indeed Harbaugh is thinking about coming here.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:48 PM ^
Hail yes.
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:51 PM ^
Not in a season. In one game.
Whooooaaaaaoooohhhh, Bundy!
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:08 PM ^
Stephen Hopkins is a Running Back as was Al Bundy and both wear #33
Stephen can score 4 Touchdowns per game too.

I don't see Denver for Harbaugh because it would pit two strong personalities with each other and I don't think that would work. The only way Denver has a chance is if they somehow find a way to get that #1 pick and draft Luck with that pick, and I think that's a longshot.
Besides, Elway might want to bring back the GERG. After all, he was Denver's DC during his two super bowl runs.
January 2nd, 2011 at 1:10 PM ^
GERG was a Assistant to the defensive DC or a Assistant to the Defensive Line coach or something? ??
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
Once upon a time...and with an exceptionally high level of NFL calibre talent...GERG was an effective coordinator. Srsly.

My whole world revolves around the beaver. It controls my life too.
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:16 PM ^
The other problem is Tebow, who potentially has Elway's backing. Tebow also has the backing of many deeply religious folks, and they exist in significant numbers in Colorado.
Not trying to offend, but Tebow will be a factor JH has to consider. He won't just be able to waltz in with Luck and keep Tebow on the pine or at TE/FB with Elway and a number of vocal, devoted fans supporting Tim.
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:13 PM ^
If you were Jim Harbaugh, would you want to be the #2 guy?
I think the hiring of Elway w/ an open coaching slot was a timing mistake for the Broncos.
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:17 PM ^
For 5/6 years, has a great run .. than goes pro?
January 2nd, 2011 at 2:36 PM ^
If Harbaugh wins a MNC in 6 or 7 years and rides the coat tails of a #1 pick QB to the NFL, more power to him, especially if he ends up with the Lions.
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:01 PM ^
And I'm fine with 5-6 years at Michigan for JH. We can find another coach at the end of that time.
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:06 PM ^
I just really wanted a few answers, cause it's important.
I'm okay with it, as long as we win, and the transition from Harbaugh to ...whomever, is an easy transition. That's all.
January 2nd, 2011 at 3:16 PM ^
than it is today.
Thank you JH.
(Leaving before we're "back" would be another story.)

Anyone who has worked food service in Denver has heard about John Elway and the sanctimonious little cards that he leaves in lieu of a tip, even after racking up four-figure bills. They say something like "I don't believe in tipping; if you want more money, ask your employer for a raise." I can only imagine what it would be like to work under such a person. Colossal db.
January 3rd, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
Wow, what a jerk. I wonder if Scottie (No Tippin') Pippen bothers to hand out those cards as well.
