Team Meeting Today....What Could Happen?
My first thread...so don't be too harsh on me. ;) I didn't see anything referencing the team meeting today. If so, the mods can go ahead and delete this. A couple of questions from me:
- Any idea when this meeting is supposed to take place?
- Rumors have been floating that it is possible that Hackett could tell team who's their next coach. You think that it is likely or unlikely? (i.e. wait until next Tuesday before the the BB game to announce to the team)
- This kind of goes with the question above, any chance that the coach himself could talk to the team via teleconference?
Just seeing what everyone's thoughts are on this and anything else relating to the team meeting today.

Colt 45 is my suggestion, but Schlitz will do.

If the team was informed that Harbaugh was coming home, there's no way that information wouldn't be leaked, which leads me to believe that it will be nothing earth-shattering indeed.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:34 AM ^
In all seriousness, it is a team tele-meeting (everyone is home by now) and I doubt he tells them via video conference.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:34 AM ^
don't worry, this board is chock-full of beta males...
Even if you post something stupid, they will still probably be nice to you.
Anyway, no, I had not yet heard of the meeting, so good knowledge to me
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
it all depends on how hot you are. Or how hot your avatar is. :-)
But hey, I'm married...so if you say something stupid, don't worry...I'll tell you about it.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:52 AM ^
That's when you can tell you're married . . . when you're not afraid to tell hot chicks they're stupid.
For some strange reason, when I was single all hot chicks were Mensa's.

to see if their ego was too fragile to take my sense of humor. If they were offended, then I didn't bother. If they took my shit and threw it right back at me, I knew there was something there worth pursuing.
No kidding...I met my wife when we were both working at the same place, and I asked her if she "was new here." She said, "No, you are." I was hooked.
December 23rd, 2014 at 11:10 AM ^
I married my wife purely for her looks and have still gotten two lifeltimes' worth of snappy retorts.
You can't win with this stuff, you know.

A fine first post. Not even the ghost of Lord Grantham (an Alpha DB in anyone's book) could legitimately complain.

It's a call in meeting (or maybe video meeting, like Skype) for the players and Hackett. I think he will tell them exactly where they are at. There are rumors already floating around that the deal is done, so if it's the case then I'm sure he will tell the players that. If the deal is done, expect the news to leak out soon after. Hard to tell 120 18-22 year olds to keep a secret.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
I believe there is another teleconference scheduled for like the 29th. I would assume this would be where any announcement is made.
Even if everything is set, it doesn't benefit Harbaugh in his last game for it to come out today.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:42 AM ^
there will certainly be a press conference in SF shortly thereafter. I could understand wanting the players to be the first to officially hear, but it wouldn't do to let things linger out west for more than a couple hours.
I think we're still waiting till the 28th or 29th if we're getting him. (I remain doubtful, but hopeful).
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:36 AM ^
are prepared to follow that up with a press conference. We are however now less than a week away from getting Harbaugh and watching Narduzzi walk on MSU and take some coaches with him. These are nice things.

If there truly is a Team meeting.
They are home for the winter hols, so just touching base....things are going well....don't listen and get caught up in the media hype and such. Enjoy the time with family etc.
I'm sure there will be a bunch of knuckleheads that will start poking around and trying to get players to talk etc.
Hopefully ppl leave them alone.
Happy Holidays to The Team :0)

AD told the team he would keep in regular scheduled contact with the players individually and collectively. Pretty sure the kids have one next week as well already set (don't ask too much of the kid but I did glean this from some quick conversations).
Doesn't mean that if there is breaking news it won't be shared but Hackett seems to be very buttoned-down about mainting communication with the players.

Occaissionally post but don't want to get too active with this.

If that is done and it gets down to plan D, the search looks like a failure. I think they will say they have a number of qualified candidates they are looking at and think they will end up with a very good coach (with the initials JH).

So many possibilities:
1. Kate Upton jumps out of a cake.
2. Denard shows up to be a part of the Harbaugh excitement:
3. Super-secret surprise guest over the rumored video conference:
4. Dave Brandon shows up for a public airing of grievances in honor of festivus:
5. Hopefully, though:

Maybe when you're older you'll realize that nobody cares what your dick thinks.

Seems like you would care a lot about dicks, being that from your post, you appear to be one. Lighten up.

Elvis' "Blue Christmas" via Skype?

I highly doubt Hackett tells the team specific details, considering the measures the department has taken to protect any information from leaking. He is dealing with 90+ 18-22 year olds in the height of social media usage.
My guess is he tells the team specific dates that they will be notified of the decision, ie. December 30, Jan 1st or Jan. 2nd.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
I think the only way he would tell them that they are getting Harbaugh is if it is actually a done deal and he plans to announce it to the public later today (which I highly doubt will happen). With social media, you can't tell an entire team to keep a secret for a week. I'd expect that all he's going to say is encouraging but very vague comments to keep them excited and feeling like they are in the mix but not reveal anything.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
I dont expect anything to be announced today because until the 28th is over there is not going to be anything official. So just be patient - its not that far away.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:45 AM ^
Can't imagine Hackett would announce JH as the new coach. Someone would tweet that out before they left the building. I'm sure he'll be ambiguous and say something like, "You will have a new coach in a few days. We will let you know exactly who at the appropriate time. Go home. Enjoy your families and Merry Christmas."
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:45 AM ^
Hackett committed to weekly meetings with the team during the coaching search, so this is as scheduled. I'm guessing that since Hackett is smart and prudent, he isn't going to say "We got Harbaugh you guyz!" unless it's a 100% done deal (which it isn't yet).
So I think he will update the team on the fact that they have narrowed in to a final candidate, dealing with contract details, and as he told them before, he will have a coach for them by New Years.
