Rampant Edge of Internet Rumor Mongering Re: Harbaugh
Both Henson and Moss (YTM) have for some reason become much more positive about Harbaugh in the last 15 minutes. Henson was already very positive but just went "way more positive" and Moss (who Brian did not shoot down as a source a few weeks ago) said "I was never convinced that Jim Harbaugh was coming here until about 15 minutes ago."
The "crowned one" says 8 years, 49 mil (6.125 a year) is the deal. That would make sense - puts him in the "top 5" of NCAA coaches (#2 behind Saban) as Brian reported he wishes. And a $1M+ bump vs NFL salary.
Some connection to the Moeller stuff but seems like something happened in addition in the last 15 minutes. The Moeller stuff has been going on for 48 hrs - it would be strange for that to be a "new" surprise to 2 guys focused so intently on this hire within a 15 minute time span.
Again, "edge of internet" so eat your salt.
It's happening?
EDIT 11:20 PM EST - more Henson rumor mongering is Harbaugh looking at DJ Durkin as DC. He is current interim coach of UF and served 2 years under Muschamp as DC. Connection to Harbaugh = special teams coach for Stanford in 07-09. 36 years old (!).
Durkin is a Youngstown (!) OH boy, who has tons of Midwest ties via Bowling Green, Notre Dame in 2001-2006 as a GA and position coach. Been at Florida since 2010.

Just out of curiosity what does your family friend do for the Raiders? Custodial? Concessions? I'm just curious.

I hate to discount news because its not what we want to hear...but isnt that against NFL rules? The Raiders have a coach and Habaugh is under contract with the 49ers. Doesn't make sense
December 15th, 2014 at 11:30 PM ^
I don't believe you.

Brian is strangely silent. Must be cooking up the Hello: Jim Harbaugh post.

If it wasn't Henson reporting this I would be a lot more excited. Just can't really understand how he would be the one to break this thing.
December 15th, 2014 at 11:43 PM ^
I'm in the same boat. Henson strikes me as incredibly unreliable, the type of shit-thrower who gets it right by sheer volume but isn't particularly connected or insightful. Again, I think people need to take a step back and consider the source before reacting this way based on these far-afield sources.
That said, all signs point toward Harbaugh being solidly in play. Considering how the situation looked even 2-3 months ago, that should be taken as a positive.

I'll absolutely believe it when it happens; until then by all means get hyped but this feels like it's going to be a couple more weeks before anything definitive comes out, unless SF lets Harbaugh walk early from his contract.

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

What our rivals will get out of this coaching search when we don't land a high profile NFL coach we had a small outside chance of getting in the first place will be just epic.
