Kparty15 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 It’s also telling that the Harbaugh interview wasn’t announced until after they interviewed the Rams coordinators. I imagine those guys potentially could have opted out like Ryans did if they new more about a pending Harbaugh interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never going to run an air raid offense in the Big 10 (or with Kaepernick in SF). He was a power run coach at Stanford, with Andrew Luck. Brought that offense with him to SF. And continued it in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kparty15 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hopefully Harbaugh and Cousins get along well. I know they’ll have that Michigan v Michigan State rivalry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, SemperFeist said: Jim Harbaugh will be the next head coach of the Vikings. Can’t say I’m thrilled. Yeah I am not thrilled either, that National Signing Day thing almost promises he is the Vikings HC. Then again better than Kevin O'Connell in terms of experience. Would love to of had Ryans but was probably a little early for him anyway and needs a little more time in his coaching development. This was my original list before all the names were being thrown around and now added them into where I would rank them all indicated by the *. Brian Flores Former Dolphins HC Ryan Day Ohio State HC *DeMeco Ryans 49ers DC Todd Bowles Bucs DC Joe Barry Packers DC Vance Joseph Arizona DC *Raheem Morris Rams DC Byron Leftwich Bucs OC Leslie Frazier Bills DC Sean Desai Bears DC *Jim Harbaugh Michigan HC Eric Bieniemy Chiefs OC Jeff Stoutland Eagles OL coach *Kevin O'Connell Rams OC I don't know anything about Patrick Graham so not sure where I would put him. Still I would rather have Flores or Day, but I guess Harbaugh is at least experienced unlike O'Connell. He is an old school coach that obviously plays a lot of TEs but then again Greg Roman and that roster was the reason he was successful on the 49ers, and he brought an energy to the team back then in the pros. Not sure he would bring the same vibe and even at Michigan his 'energy' was getting a bit old even for them I feel despite having a great year which was mostly player lead.

Kparty15 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If Harbaugh brings in Fangio I assume we will be switching to a 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithVikings28 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Harbaugh knows how to win and adapt. He’s going to be the new head coach and they team is trending in the right direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 The Athletic’s Arif Hasan reported on Saturday, January 29, that if Harbaugh returns to the NFL, he will plan to hire former Chicago Bears head coach Vic Fangio as his defensive coordinator. Fangio was a defensive coordinator at Stanford in 2010 before he and Harbaugh took over the San Francisco 49ers in 2011. The duo was credited with turning around the 49ers defense, producing a league-high 35 turnovers that season. What was expected to be a rebuilding year for the formerly 6-10 49ers became an instant contender, making an appearance in the NFC Championship Game. The duo went on to lead San Francisco to two more appearances in the NFC title game, including a victory that led to an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII, before being fired in 2015 amid tension with the front office. Fangio has produced some of the NFL’s best defenses across his coaching career. His defenses have ranked in the league’s top-five in yards allowed in five of the past 11 seasons. They’ve also ranked in the top-five for points allowed five times during that span. The 49ers defense ranked inside the top-five in points yards allowed all four years of their tenure in San Francisco, while ranking in the top-five in points allowed three of the four seasons. https://heavy.com/sports/minnesota-vikings/jim-harbaugh-vic-fangio-nfl-news/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I can't imagine a better coaching search outcome than Harbaugh with Fangio as DC. Most teams would kill for that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
