Sporting News Top 8 Candidates to Replace Gruden include...
Yes, of course its Jim Harbaugh. Here we go again!
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/redskins-eight-best-coaching-candidates-to-replace-fired-jay-gruden/ar-AAIoQyS?ocid=spartanntp
Also on the list: Eric Bieniemy, Lincoln Riley, Josh McDaniels, Kellen Moore, John DeFilippo, Todd Monken, and Kevin Stefanski.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:28 PM ^
Lincoln Riley should take the job. Then when he fails miserably he can come be our OC for a few years to rebuild his resume.

The days of blue blood college coaches leaving for the NFL are gone.
College can pay the same or more, has less games, less roads games, and far more job security.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:11 PM ^
But you have to recruit which means you are somewhat stressfully working 365 days a year
Beilein for example
October 7th, 2019 at 6:24 PM ^
That's where the army of assistants and recruiting coordinators come in.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
Harbaugh would have to be insane to take that job. Snyder meddles all the time through his Redskins President, Allen.
As an owner Snyder isn't much better than Yed Jork.
October 7th, 2019 at 6:12 PM ^
Synder has a comparable track record with Yed as an incompetent asshole owner. And is probably a bigger asshole. He's the guy that cut down a forest to improve his view of the Potomac River - despite that it was illegal to do so and he specifically defied Park Dept orders not to do so. He got his money when Daddy asked him what business to purchase to get him started.
Jack Kent Cooke fucked his children upon his death. His will put the team up for auction, instead of passing it on. Synder won the auction. Couldn't have found a less qualified human being to own a team as beloved as the Redskins in this town...
October 7th, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
Agreed, here's a link to a local guy's take on Dan Snyder's early years as owner. Dave McKenna who wrote this left the Washington City Paper soon after this was written back in 2010. I've always suspected Snyder got him fired. Read and enjoy...
"made a great view of the Potomac River for himself by going all Agent Orange on federally protected lands"
October 7th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
Jim and John could share a house together in Columbia.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
But have they considered Ryan Day?
October 7th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
Ryan Day will be a NFL coach within 3 years.
October 7th, 2019 at 6:17 PM ^
Or in three months if he leads OSU to the CFP or all the way to the title. Don't underestimate the power of Dan Snyder to buck conventional wisdom to hire an unprepared college coach. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a play for him or Urban based on their ties to Haskins.
October 7th, 2019 at 7:11 PM ^
Day is 100% going to the NFL. Guy has no ties to Ohio and checks all the NFL hotness boxes.
TBH if he got a good enough offer, he could be a one and done at OSU.
October 7th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
i think that's wishful thinking....not that I object to it... BUT
1. 6 games into his career.
2. he isn't leaving OSU this year or next year. He does not have a history of 'heart trouble'
October 7th, 2019 at 10:08 PM ^
And Urban would be magically healed with his entire infrastructure still in place.
I mean only OSU could get that f-ing lucky.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
Wrong Gruden. Jim is only in play at Oakland.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:44 PM ^
That's a cool T-shirt. Where did you get it?
October 7th, 2019 at 3:47 PM ^
The UP Yours or Oakland is still in play?
Just Google it. I bought one in Marquette.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:08 PM ^
Thanks
October 7th, 2019 at 4:42 PM ^
Usernames check out - the UP bromance.
October 8th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
Heydare, where'd ya get that sweet Watersmeet jersey at?
October 7th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
Sweet
October 7th, 2019 at 3:30 PM ^
was kinda hoping they'd float Gruden to replace Gruden
October 7th, 2019 at 3:31 PM ^
OAKLAND IS STILL IN PLAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
Oakland is in play...for ever...and ever...and ever...
October 7th, 2019 at 3:34 PM ^
Amen
October 7th, 2019 at 4:41 PM ^
Let’s swap Jim for Jon and call it a day.
October 8th, 2019 at 1:10 PM ^
Who's Jon?
October 7th, 2019 at 3:32 PM ^
Only one choice. Ryan Day.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:46 PM ^
You really think that would change how well OSU does? They've built their $y$tem up over so long, they could plug in just about anyone to be HC and he'd do well.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:54 PM ^
im not even kidding, brady hoke could coach that osu team and couldnt screw it up.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:47 PM ^
2011 is your evidence.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:47 PM ^
October 7th, 2019 at 7:27 PM ^
Dynasties always seem like they'll last forever but that's never happened. Think of Miami, Florida State, Texas, USC, Oregon, etc. Look at Notre Dame in the decade+ before hiring Kelly. It just takes one mistake hire to make everything implode and take years if not longer to fix. Look what happened to us…
October 8th, 2019 at 2:21 AM ^
Florida State went like 20 years without finishing out of the Top 5.
It was inconceivable that they could ever be bad . . . until they were.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:32 PM ^
Good. They can have him.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:34 PM ^
Not for this job, I don't think...
But this is the first season I've thought Harbaugh might consider going back to an NFL gig. Last year I thought he was in Ann Arbor for life. This year I'm not so sure...
October 8th, 2019 at 2:25 AM ^
If he were to recover this year and beat Ohio State and win the Big Ten, you would have to think that there is a realistic chance that he would leave to go back to the NFL.
I mean, does it look like he's having fun in college football?
October 7th, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
Rumor in these parts is its Tomlin's job if he wants it....
bwahahahaha... nothing would make the Yinzers happier.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:11 PM ^
Tomlin is PERFECT for DC. Vastly overrated, but the national media loves him. Seriously, Pittsburgh has had more talent than any NFL team for past decade, but Tomlin finds a way to mess it up. All you need to know about Tomlin is what Michelle Tafoya reported after the 1st half of Pats - Steelers.
Belichick: "we expect the Steelers to change things up in the 2nd half, expect the unexpected, but will be ready for changes".
Tomlin: "we know who we are and just have to execute better". Hey dipshit, it was 20 zip! Pittsburgh might be good again with a capable coach.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:39 PM ^
I wouldn't be surprised if Harbaugh leaves if M goes 7-5 or worse. But he isn't going to the Redskins.
October 7th, 2019 at 3:42 PM ^
No coach with any common sense should take that job. I'm sure some college coach will give it a shot, but the Redskins aren't remotely close to competing for a SB and have one of the worst owners in sports.
October 7th, 2019 at 7:01 PM ^
They'll probably just take the next Pats coordinator. Works for everyone else...well not the LIons, but you know.
October 7th, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
No one with a good chance at getting another NFL HC job would seriously consider that clusterfuck. He has gone thru 8 coaches in the 17 years he’s owned the team. It sounds like the perfect landing spot for Jeff Fisher
October 8th, 2019 at 2:30 AM ^
Plus their fans have that Notre Dame thing where they expect nothing less than a championship every single year because they won a few of them in a previous century.
October 8th, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
Also sort of a Michigan thing...
October 7th, 2019 at 3:46 PM ^
What NFL team would Harbaugh leave for?
Chicago maybe?
October 7th, 2019 at 3:47 PM ^
I could see Jim going back to the NFL at some point in the near future, but it is not going to be Washington. No way he works for an owner like Snyder after his run ins with York in SF. Jim has exhibited some off the wall behavior in his career, but he is not that crazy.
October 7th, 2019 at 4:38 PM ^
I have a 20 min phone call that is saying hold my beer on line 2 for you sir
October 7th, 2019 at 3:50 PM ^
I doubt Jim is going anywhere until he feels like he did what he came here for. He's been Michigan since he was 10 years old 'fergodsakes'.
October 7th, 2019 at 5:02 PM ^
So what did he come here for?
