For #Michigan fans curious about Jim Harbaugh: Booster Stephen Ross is much more interested in him at U-M than with #Dolphins

The Cowboys and Eagles are playing great football, and the Cardinals are somehow rocking that division.  Obviously, with Palmer out that position has become a huge X factor, but SF still has to get out of that division with Seattle (still 6-3 despite all the media attention of how they're falling off a cliff) and the Rams, who have a ridiculous front 7 on D.  

I'd give SF about a 15% chance of making the playoffs this year.

First of all, as a Bay Area Blue - thanks for cheering on our World Champion Giants!!! You're the best!

Second, the Niners COULD squeak in as a wildcard and be done playing by the day after the San Francisco fight Hunger Bowl (or whatever they're calling it down at Levi's Stadium) - which I hope we play in for personal reasons.

IF the Niners make the playoffs at all they'll almost surely be the lowest seed, playing a potential 10am PST start in the cold/snow. Of course as I type this Kap just suddenly hit Crab for a LONG TD in the Meadowlands in their 2nd consecutive 10am game, so maybe they'd survive that?

Either way, unless Harbaugh gets SF back into the SB (which may keep them playing all the way til NSD) - he's worth waiting for. Even if the '15 class gets decimated, he's proven he can take what you've got and mold them into winners. Check USD, Stanford and SF for teams that hadn't seen any success for years before he arrived.

Cal has had a decent turnaround this year under Sonny Dykes. That job is definitely not going to be open. San Fran is the only job he'd be able to take in the Bay Area if they will have him back if we assume the Raiders are too much of a mess to make for a likely destination. What about 

Do we really thing Harbaugh's wife wanting to stay in the Bay Area is the be all end all of him never accepting a job outside of that area? I understand the need to compromise with your spouse for the sake of happiness and a health relationship, but coaching is a nomadic profession and he is the bread winner of the family (presumably). If he really wants to take the Michigan job, I don't see his wife's Bay Area preferance ultimately holding that process up.

Will someone PLEASE post a direct reference, qoute, link or something of actual evidence that Harbaugh's wife has said she won't leave the west coast and effectively hold her husband land locked? I find this all BS. If there is no real source can we stop making her out as a major hurdle. We should not bash our future First Lady.

Speaking strictly for myself, I'm not disgusted at the fact that J. Ira and Nicki decided to plonk down millions of bucks to endow the HC position... I'm disgusted that they got their name attached to the position. Isn't having their name in big letters on the stadium structure itself enough of a monument to their egos?
