NFL and Jim Harbaugh

[edawg]

Once the DC at Michigan went to Baltimore you knew he was coming back and to an NFC team.

that DC coached under his brother John Harbaugh at Baltimore for 7 years before going to UM for just the one year as DC. i don't think it had anything to do with him looking at Minnesota.

some of the best jobs out there in terms of best media markets (CHI and NYG) and best rosters available (Vikings) just happened to be NFC jobs. It's just coincidence IMO.

Relax guy your going to get him. It is a done deal.

i am not a minnesota viking nor michigan wolverine fan, i am just a fan of Jim Harbaugh since watching him coach back in the Univ of San Diego (private school) days as the school is not far from me and i got to see his teams in person back in the mid 2000's and they were awesome to watch.

[Roger T. Bannon]

Harbaugh is not your average coach. He is bored with success. He likes a hard road.

[Roger T. Bannon]

I can see why Harbaugh would take the Vikings job. It's an iconic franchise that has never been able to win the Super Bowl. It has a huge loyal fan base and it is located out of the media glare. You can just be Jim Harbaugh in Minnesota. Nobody expects anything else. Plus he is probably getting total control. So it is his job.

He can do something that no one else has ever been able to do. That's Harbaugh.

sounds like the Vikes didn't want to give him all the money and control after all

[MinnesotaFats]

Vikings don't hire retreads

I give you guys inside info

You constantly ignore it

This was a shakedown for Michigan

Yeah, if it came out that he interviewed, he had the job and backed out.

[stake1]

All about the cash. End of story

apparently he went into the interview unprepared and very arrogant thinking he didn't really need to interview. no offer was made to him..

So he never got offered job

lol

[homie1975]

W all the major markets (Chicago and NYG) and attractive landing spots in terms of roster (miami, Vegas, new Orleans and Minnesota), I am honestly shocked that harbaugh did not take one. He had his best run at Michigan and got shellacked in the playoff and I thought he was ready to go back to the big leagues. It goes to show that it's almost impossible to understand certain ppl. He is a different breed lol

[thomorino]

Harbaugh can coach but his ego makes working in the NFL hard for him. He had many issues with the front office in San Francisco and given that Zimmer and Spielman had trouble getting along I don't think Minnesota wanted to deal with him. He's a guy who wants complete control.

The Vikings are the only team that needs a coach and has a quarterback.

The gm wanted to hire him. both he and his pal Captain Comeback, thought it was a done deal.
For whatever reason, someone went above Adofo-mensah and over ruled the deal. This is about one thing: money
Sloppy-seconds Kevin O’Connell is coming in to MN at a microscopic fraction of what Harbaugh commanded

lol and failed interview @ Vikings on plane back to michagan

[edawg]

Wilf didn't want to pay now their GM/Coach combination
will be the laughing stock of the league.

Strange Harbaugh “family farm” deal. After the Don Brown disaster, big brother John calls Jim. says I have this 33 year old LB coach: Mike Macdonald. he would make a good DC at Michigan on your coaching staff. now Macdonald never called a single play. Anywhere. Now he is DC at MI
granted he did a good job, but compared to what? Don Brown wrecked MI defenses for 4-years before Harbaugh woke up
Older brother John now saying Macdonald is a Raven, one of them, who he farmed out to learn how to call defensive plays to bring him back as DC
no doubt he knew his younger brother planned to leave MI for the highest bidder. That all fell apart, and now MI looks to regress

[thomorino]

The decision had nothing to do with money, someone obviously didn't want Harbaugh and his ego. The owners are billionaires, the difference between 4 and 8 million for a coach was not an issue.

His buddy: Adolfo-mensah thought he actually had power as Gm. Nope. Came down to cash, and Adolfo not realizing he didn’t have the $$$$ to pay Harbaugh

Mcconnell is “discount aisle” replacement. Wilfs clearly do not know what they are doing. they gave a package deal to: Zimmer/Speilman with contract extensions. Connected both at the hip in a huge mistake
Now they owe $56 million to not have neither guy work for the Vikings
You are on the mark, they are the joke of the league
Harbaugh wanted $10 million at a minimum
mconnell? He will likely get $2-3 mill and Adolfo-mensah looks like a fool, a real dumbass

[Seattle Slew]

The Vikings are fools, but that's no surprise. Feel bad for their fans.

Miami should have made a run at Harbaugh when this news broke, now they have nobody either.

Yes, Harbaugh is arrogant. So was Jimmie Johnson, Bill Parcells, Belichick and other top coaches.

Minny big mistake

He took an over 50% pay-cut at MI this past season. Good point, he is very arrogant. And that is important to be successful.
So Harbaugh bet on himself, and was going to either make up for it at MI with record breaking contract or in the Nfl. hard to see MI giving him the huge deal now, knowing he was a Viking until the wilfs money went away

Adolfo is not even a football guy the biggest winner here is Andrew Berry the Browns GM getting picks from the Vikings for shipping this guy away he is laughing his ass off.

Great post Edawg Sbr won’t let me nominate it, since I already nominated your post above
I did not know about the MN draft picks until your post. So read about it, and man Browns fleeced them, Two, third-round picks!

I think the Browns just get extra third-round picks the next two years, Vikings don't lose picks. It's one of those new minority rules. But still an absolute steal for the Browns.

Vikings are clueless. Just incredible.
