Harbaugh

I thought trading for a head coach was banned by the league a few years back after the Gruden to TB and Herm to KC deals, but who knows.  Maybe the league has quietly opened that back up and kept it under wraps. According to this story SF almost traded Harbaugh to the Browns for a bunch of picks and Harbaugh was on board with it for a bit but then decided against it. Didn't end up happening.

Bigger story to watch going forward is that Harbaugh is unhappy in SF and doesn't get along with the people above him (he flirted with the Texas job and now this.) SO, if Miami sucks this year and Ross cleans house....we know how bad Ross wanted Harbaugh a couple years back. Both Michigan guys, Ross will give him a blank check to hire anyone he wants and do whatever he wants. He might be able to trade for him and hand him the keys to the kingdom. Ross gets his guy, Harbaugh gets all the power and a ton of money...wouldn't shock me to see this down the road.

PLEASE GOD NO

I cheered for Joey Porter, but Jim Harbaugh might just be a bridge too far.  The guy is a clown.

I could live with Rex.  He's also a clown, but he's like a jolly clown.  Harbaugh is a mean, surly clown.

Harbaugh has brought his team to at least an NFC Title game every year he has been in San Francisco

I wouldn't have wanted a 3rd-year Mark Sanchez, either.

The SF CEO Jed York is fighting with an NFL Network reporter tonight on Twitter saying the story is false. The reporter though is saying his sources are high level SF executives. Interesting to watch

Jed York is a moron of an owner who got lucky when he stumbled on Jim Harbaugh.  That team has been in the shits ever since Eddie DeBartolo was forced to give up his ownership.  Only now is it back to its glory days.  Once Harbaugh leaves, those NFC title game appearances leave with him.

Really?  DeBartolo gave up control of the Niners in 2000 to his sister (York's wife).  Both Mrs Yorknd her husband had a reputation for being cheap.  Between 2000 and 2010 they're were only two playoff appearances and a lot of losing seasons including the worst record in the league in 2004.  The two playoff appearances were in 2001 and 2002 when some players from the Bill Walsh/George Seifert era remained.  Can't argue with facts.

The bigger story here is they can deny it all they want but now you got Mort and others saying this story is 100% true. Harbaugh will be in SF for another year or so but then he is gone.

[Sunstroke]

Harbaugh will be in SF for at least two hoistings of the SB trophy. After we've passed the Steelers again, he can ride off into the sunset.

Harbaugh is dead to me.  Don't want him near the Dolphins.

Jed York just comes off as a liar now. Browns owner confirms that they had talks with 49ers about trade for Harbaugh

[EDGECRUSHER]

I would welcome Harbaugh with open arms and any Dolphins fan who wouldn't is a fool. When is the last time we had a real coach, Jimmy Johnson? Everyone else has been glorified coordinators or Nick Saban. Bring this screaming child to Miami as fast as possible. I would trade our first rounder for him right now.

[Spider-Dan]

Jed York is a liar?  Say not so!

[Sunstroke]

Everyone on this board, and everyone that everyone on this board has ever met, has lied at some point in their life. Show me a human being that claims to have never told a lie, and you'll be showing me a liar.
