He likely never works again in the NFL. Sooo...pretty much the same thing that's going to happen, but with no settlement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see what he can do with Lawrence. Didn’t work out for him with Wentz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 If the owner needs to write something like this to talk up the new hire. It’s probably not the best choice they could have made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more year as an OC might not be the worst thing for him. But I really did want him to be Jacksonville's HC this year. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think Pederson is being underrated significantly. Maybe I’m guilty of doing the same to Leftwich, just super skeptical because there was hardly chatter of him until Brady showed up.

vike daddy Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Harbaugh: “There was a tugging at me that I was once that close to a Super Bowl and I didn’t get it. Some NFL jobs came open. I was contacted by the Vikings. For better or for worse, it was something I wanted to explore. I went in thinking, ‘I’m gonna have 100 percent conviction on this, and if they have 100 percent conviction on this, then it’s something I’m gonna do.” But when the Vikings didn’t offer him the job, Harbaugh says he let Michigan know he won’t be looking for NFL jobs again. “I called Warde [Manuel, the Michigan athletic director] and I asked him if he wanted me to be the head coach. And he said, ‘Yes, 100 percent.’ And I said, OK then. That’s what I want to do.’ And I told him, ‘Warde, this will not be a reoccurring theme every year. This was a one-time thing.” “Sure, the Super Bowl is the greatest prize in our sport. But winning a national championship, that’s pretty darn great. Let’s do that. There was a pull to the NFL because I got that close to the Super Bowl, but this was the time [to try and return.] And this is the last time. Now let’s go chase college football’s greatest prize.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/02/04/jim-harbaugh-vikings-interview-was-a-one-time-thing-im-done-chasing-nfl-jobs/ i see this as Harbaugh having a mid life career crisis. and the hot young girl he was pursuing turned him down.

How’d that turn out for Zimmer. Guess he got the young hot girl in the end but he can’t coach defense anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t think anyone would dispute that. But it’s very obvious from the candidate who withdrew from consideration that the Jaguars settled for a candidate who was willing to work with a GM who no one else wanted to work with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same mistake the Giants owner made last year. They knew that the people they hired were wrong after the first year, but they didn’t want to admit the failure so they let everyone return for another year. They almost let the mistake continue again, but common sense prevailed and now they look to be on the right path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with wc here...the worst thing for an unstable organization is to hire a guy with a history of causing instability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
