I am aware all of this crap out there are rumors and who knows what is true, but if I were an owner that was obviously trying to circumvent or ignore the NFL's Rooney Rule because I wanted just one white guy, I would want the media to say exactly that. You said that everything that you are hearing/reading says the opposite. Why don’t you post it? |

I'm sure he would. They won't. I agree, but they should call. He is the only coach out there with actual experience turning around entire programs (SF, Michigan). They should talk to him at least - same way they are picking the brain of all these GM candidates. |

Who wouldn't have liked this guy over the last 3 HCs? |

And I can't imagine any of the candidates going in this direction. |

The only thing this guy has ever done as a HC is win.
Of course we should call him. Mara should hand the keys to Jim Harbuagh and tell him to: "Have at it. Call me if you need any advice." An awkward silence insues and then Jim says: "Ah...sure." and turns and walks away.

His ego wouldn’t be able to fit through the George Washington bridge. He would want carte blanche of the whole team. From the players, to who’s working the concession stands. He wouldn’t last a New York minute coaching here. I think Harbaugh is a whiny little bish….. I suspect he’s just trying to use us to leverage either Michigan or another team to get a new contract. |

You Guys do realize Michigan owns his contract and he is bound to it.

McAdoo stood up for himself and everybody crucified him for basically saying what your eyes could easily see that Manning was done. |

Until, he had no choice but to “retire” him. if John doesn’t like coaches with backbones, he might as well hire a slug.. |

He cannot coach any team if Michigan does not release him from his contract. It is no different if an NFL player decided to go play in the CFL. The NFL team would sue the player for breach of contract. Harbaugh can quit, but he can't coach without Michigan releasing him of his obligations. |

I was probably as mad as Coughlin was when he was fired and Reese was allowed to stay. The ****** up thing of it all. The very next season when Tom was giving the heave ho. They spent over $200 million dollars in free agency. The previous two seasons, the Giants couldn’t pay for parking. |

Watch his last season, you think the old tyrant who doesn’t miss a thing on the field didn’t see Beckham go nuts against the Panthers? If anyone believes that, I got a bridge in Brooklyn that’s begging to be bought. Tom, was coaching for his life that season. And Beckham, was his best player. Benching him, would be cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. After that game, I knew he was finished.. |

It was who replaced Eli a backup QB who wasn't in the future plans that had people pissed. I'm sure if we had a decent replacement nobody would have cared except the Eli mafia. |

Harbaugh can quit, but he can't coach without Michigan releasing him of his obligations. Harbaugh would be tough medicine but when you’re this bad, you’ll take any possibility of winning. I think Harbaugh would get the program turned around before wearing out his welcome as he does everyplace he goes. But this is all moot since the GM is gonna pick the HC, right? |

I was just making the point. He can't load up his box. Fly to Newark and start his job with the Giants. It is more complex than some think it is. |

Contracts are binding. If they weren't. NFL players could play in The XFL of they wanted to. I am sure he probably could get out of it. But Michigan can say no. I can't think why he would want to leave. He is making big bucks and the press doesn't f with him. |

According to this article, and if I am reading it correctly, he can buy his way out of his contract for 1.5mil. www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/jim-harbaugh-bonus-money-michigan-ad-staffers/1hbb0zzq7shmv1lgl0xcrt8na6 |

Everything I am reading/hearing is that IF he leaves Michigan he is going to Miami. Their owner Steven Ross has connections to Michigan and one of the reasons (maybe the main one) Flores was let go is because they basically have an agreement in place. However, the Dolphins need to "clear" the Rooney rule before they sign him and he will likely resign his position at Michigan before the Dolphins announce it. Flores’ departure is tied to another idiot owner. Just a bit south of ours. |
