NFL '22 - Coachs Hot Seat

[acmillis]

Because head coaches saying that and leaving immediately never happens.

So you're saying Harbaugh is going to take an NFL job?

Not necessarily, I’m just saying there is a history if coaches saying things like this and then… bam, they gone

And that has what to do with Harbaugh?

[Doctor]

Harbaugh going back on his word would hardly be surprising. Miami and Brady? You know Ross about it.

[King Bootz]

So who's going to step out on the limb instead of cowardly stepping on egg shells saying nothing at all? Is Harbaugh leaving or not?

[Snake]

I don’t think any of this hiring stuff is predictable from our vantage point. So I won’t make any predictions on hirings at this time.

I just wouldn’t be surprised if he made the jump. These coaches lie like rugs, man.

[King Bootz]

Again, saying absolutely nothing at all.


I wouldn't be surprised if Nick Saban retires after the Sugar Bowl. No evidence has even thinking about. Not even a rumor. But just because I can form a sentence or 2, why not? Also wouldn't be surprised if Jon Gruden wanted to come back to coaching. Wouldn't be surprised if Todd Bowles wanted to keep his job.

[Snake]

Harbaugh has made the college to NFL jump before. He’s had success in the NFL. He’s staring down the possibility of the most successful season in UM history. Would he want to pursue NFL opportunities or is kicking OSU’s ass for the next 5-10 years sufficient?

Whether or not he’d leave his alma mater at the height of his powers…remains to be seen. Let’s see how the playoffs shake out.

Yea. Once. 12 years ago...But by all means, let's pretend it's been his norm....Ya know, Saban did too. Maybe he's thinking about coming back now, right?

As recently as last year Harbaugh interviewed for NFL jobs before deciding to return to Michigan. This year, he didn't even bother to wait. He announced early that he was not coaching anywhere in 2023 except Michigan. And now people want to bring it into question. If you wanna throw shit at the wall to see what sticks, do you.

Hilarious you use Sanandaj as an example, a guy who literally went back on his word in the exact scenario you’re questioning. Bootz, you ain’t the sharpest peanut in the turd.

It's a message board dude. For fans. Not insiders.

If someone has actual news or information, they should cite it to the best of their ability.

The other 99% of this beast is people saying things.

Take your trinket. I'm gunning for a Nobel prize in literature with my Topic #666 thread.

[IronDog]

I really don't think Jim Harbaugh will leave Michigan but he will be a perfect fit for Colts

Harbaugh has already announced he's staying at Michigan and not looking for employment elsewhere.

You can't possibly believe a word of the second half of that statement. Just another bait and switch comment out of the usual suspects. I imagine he probably holds up pre-printed cue cards with answers like that.

I cited the information here. But that other 99% of "Talking outta our collective asses for the hell of it" chimed in here to say Harbaugh was wrong about his own future. Kinda makes citing anything pointless if the information is debated with.......bullshit.

This, I don't understand. I put your name into the committee.

[Snake]

Not sure where to put this. Broncos reach out to Jim Harbaugh.

We only know this because:

1. An idiot close to the situation ran their month.
2. His agent is trying to get a raise from Michigan. Again.
3. Fueling a bidding war for NFL jobs.

[GreatTimes]

Just read a story on what the Saints will want in a trade for Payton. It would be as much as the Bucs gave up for Gruden, or the Patriots gave up for Belicheat or what the Giants gave up for Parcells. Gona be multiple 1st round picks along with a few other picks. That would take Denver out of the chance to bring in Payton as their HC. Houston has extra draft picks thanks to the QB Watson trade.

I could have sworn at one point the league put rules in place against trading coaches. Was that just a fever dream?

A shiny nickel says all this came from the agent. I wouldn't even be surprised if the agent made the call to the Broncos to see if they were "interested."

Ahh, but will the breach ever be given sentencing! Proof of intent will be the deciding factor...

Bootz, just stay quiet for a few weeks and let everything go back to NORMAL.

They did after we traded Gruden. The rules have changed now you cant trade a coach technically, but you can provide compensation to a team who will then release the coach from his contract.

Thats how it works now

[King Bootz]

2 questions.

1. In reference to what?

2. Around here, what is considered NORMAL?

If memory serves even further, Rich McKay was on the committee that voted it in to place.

[GreatTimes]

For Payton to be signed there are 2 things that are necessary. 1. That team would need the draft capital to compensate the Saints. 2. Payton would want to be the HC of that team. I doubt that Payton wants to go to a team that lacks in winning players. And signing with a team that has to give up a bunch of draft choices would make building a team very difficult. That leaves Denver out. Houston is a bad team and would remain so if they had to use all the draft choices, they picked up in the Watson trade to sign Payton. Seattle has the draft choices because of the QB Wilson trade, but Pete Carrol isn't going to retire. It would be difficult for Tampa to fire Bowles after the Buc's made the play offs. So who is left in the Payton sweepstakes?

This has the Colts written all over

[GreatTimes]

I believe that the Colts HC job is the best job open for a prospective NFL coach. They had real QB issues last year and lost a all-pro caliber RB in injury. New HC, high draft pick and an owner that will spend money. Lamar Jackson (though he will probably be tagged if not signed) Carr, Brady or one of the top QB's coming out of college.

[acmillis]

But @King Bootz clearly said Harbaugh is not leaving. I’m trust Bootz more than a credentialed reporter, for sure!

Another day, another @acmillis lie. I never said Harbaugh wasn't leaving. JIM HARBAUGH said Jim Harbaugh wasn't leaving. I love how we question when someone gives the information about their own future and it gets questioned but "sources" are deemed more credible.

Oh and you can crawl back under your rock, kiddo, like you did a few days ago when you got egg on your face. Tip is on the dresser.

[BucsNBills]

Wonder if the Glazers would cut Bowles loose if they can snag Harbaugh.

Really Bootz, how many people do you think are really in here? If you wanna know who is laughing just follow who is doing the down voting and upvoting - they show their hand.

LOL, I didnt even know I couldnt down vote - havnt tried it, I just do up votes.

Yeah they have been down voting me for well over a year now.

I am surprised that now Buc2 is kissing the ring finger, I guess he has aspirations.

Got it, you can't "trade" for a coach, you can just send a team draft picks for no reason, and then they'll coincidentally release their coach from his contract with the understanding he'll come to your team. But no trading. Makes sense.
