SimPLLLLLLLe Jim "6-13" Harbaugh (B1G Suspenders McKhakiPants, Cheater Cheater Booger Eater)

I don’t think they care about cheating, I think they care about hiring a guy who can navigate basic human interactions, something that Pete Carroll was notably capable of doing.

If an NFL team does end up hiring him, they will be prioritizing other things above this. I’d say the evidence so far, i.e. him not getting a job despite desperately throwing himself at teams every offseason, is that most teams do value not being an awkward weirdo in an interview (who also happens to be a proven cheater).
Winning. That's it, that's what NFL teams(and honestly any team in general) cares about. I wouldn't say that Gruden, or Dan Campbell would be considered normal men, and they've had/have NFL HC positions. NFL teams prioritize winning. Hairball is seen as weird and awkward to fans of other teams,
Trevor Lawrence?! That’s giving a lot of credit to McCarthy. Hell, he’s not even a McSorely or Clifford level of an NFL QB.
Yeah those are much better comparisons. I was going to say Blake Bortles. But in no was Randle El and Kordell Stewart are the worst comparisons I've seen. That's like saying Blake Corum is Barry Sanders

The weird Faustian bargain that a team is going to get with Harbaugh is that he probably will turn things around for a few years like he did in SF. Then, his completely dysfunctional personality and all-consuming ego are going to lose the locker room and create a completely toxic environment within the organization...like he did in SF. So, you run him off and then what? Because of the initial success, you really aren't loaded from the draft, and his departure sends you into the tank for several years...like he did in SF.

There were 8 openings with 1 hire completed.
Jim is listed for an interview with just 2 teams, but let's assume 3 because Vegas will probably add him.


The media is pimping his name a lot, but i don't think he's as "hot" as they want us to believe.
This is his best shot to get back in, but it's not the "done deal" narrative being passed around.

Plus, he's clearly desperate to get out. It's why he's doing everything imaginable to stall off signing a 125M contract and why he's actually humbling his massive ego to fly around and be interviewed instead of expecting to be coronated over the phone. One of their hacks said that he's interviewing the teams for the right fit. Bullshit. He'll jump on the first offer that gets him out of Dodge.

Michigan should just move on and name Moore the coach, no NFL team hires him, then he gets hit by a random mail truck. Seems 100% win but what do I know, I'm a sock puppet.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around how his ego would mesh well with the ego of the average NFL owner, but I am sure both of their egos figure they will be the one truly running the show.
Well, I think SF is a great indication of how well he can integrate his massive ego and a massive insecurity complex that makes him hellbent on showing everybody that he's the smartest guy in the room into a complex NFL franchise of professional players, a front office and ownership. Three straight NFC championship games and a Super Bowl, and at the end, they couldn't run him out of town fast enough.

One 8-8 season and they said "get the fuck on, weirdo."

Yep, and eventually some NFL franchise is going to get desperate enough, feels like this may be the year. The Chargers fit that bill and the Raiders sure as hell do as well if they decide to bring him in.
