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

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.Comment -

#38that 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.

#39i 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.Comment -

#40Harbaugh is not your average coach. He is bored with success. He likes a hard road.Comment -

#41I 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.Comment -

#49W 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 lolComment -

#50Harbaugh 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.Comment -

#52The 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

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 regressComment -

#56The 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.Comment -

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 dumbassComment -

#59The 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.Comment -

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 awayComment -

#62Mcconnell 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

#63Sbr 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!
