The 9ers swung in late and hired him, right? I seem to remember the 9ers being a surprise, but that was so long ago i could be way off. Yea - he has a connection with the Dolphins’ owner who is a fellow alum and big Michigan donor. It’s enough of a connection that when the Dolphins fired Flores, their owner came out and stated he wouldn’t try to hire Harbaugh again. I think Harbaugh has a pretty ideal situation at Michigan and I agree that he’ll probably stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I’ve had Daboll and Eberflus on my short list from the beginning, so I’d be perfectly happy with either one. Feels like Daboll would be the best hire for Fields, while Eberflus might be the best hire for the franchise. So it depends how much more importance you put on the QB vs the Team. And I suppose more importantly, who Eberflus could bring in as his OC. I get how important Fields progression is, but if he is the real deal, and we don’t let him get completely beat up, he’s going to shine through regardless. To me, an offensive minded HC, or even the OC of a Defensive HC is less important than the guy who would be working most with Fields, the QB coach. But they are all important with a young QB With that thought process, depending on how Vegas plays out, I’d love to see Eberflus get the HC job, and then do what Sean McVay did off the bat, and surround himself with HC knowledge throughout the whole staff, grab Marinelli for his last few years as DC and even Bisaccia as the AHC and ST guy. But also fill in with a bunch of young hungry up and comers as well, like an heir apparent for a DC in a few years when Rod likely retires. I really do think Eberflus is the best choice as a HC, and he would actually take more of a Leader approach than just a “defensive guy” where I feel Daboll would be more focused on the Offense. He’s shown the potential since all the way back at Mizzou under Gary Pinkel, and he would likely follow his style 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOGRIESE Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Ok so the last few GM candidates that we don't know if they've interviewed yet or not are Rick Smith, Omar Khan and Ryan Poles. Ryan Poles may be the new Giants GM soon so that would cross him off the list if he gets hired. We know Brown is on Monday. Almost at the finish line. The one weird thing is we haven't heard a peep about Rick Smith at all for over a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be confused - Former Bears coach Dave Wannstedt, under whom Jim Harbaugh played QB in 1993, said he talked to Harbaugh and Harbaugh told him that the Bears hadn’t called. Seems legit enough. The guy who said they should be forced to sell the team is just some meatball idiot fan lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hope the Bears continue to not contact Harbaugh. Keep the lunatic in Michigan. Or, "let" him migrate to Miami. Whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBears019 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 At this point I’m expecting to see a tweet soon that they are interviewing Lovie Smith to be the HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I wonder if the Reggie McKenzie interview was because Brian Flores mentioned he'd like him to be GM. Curious how this all weaves together, but I'm also getting impatient and bored of this ****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
