That is per PFT.

If he is coming to the NFL, then we need to get him. He has the most success and would bring the best staff. Of course, if he is coming back to the NFL, why wouldn't he interview with us first? Is Ross that more loyal to Michigan over Miami?

I am not a fan of his but even he would be a better choice than the guys we short listed.

He can't interview with MIA first.

The whole point of the "I'm not going to be the one to take Jim Harbaugh from Michigan" song & dance is for Ross to have clean hands if Harbaugh leaves.  If Harbaugh's FIRST interview is with Miami, then the Dolphins wooed him away to the NFL.  But if his first interview is with another team - or preferably, several other teams - then Harbaugh had made up his mind to go back to the NFL either way, and so the Dolphins were just the best landing spot.

I'm honestly starting to believe this "conspiracy". Then again, I might just be using it as a coping mechanism for how poorly we have done so far in the head coach search.

ESPN is reporting the interview went very well and Harbaugh has legitimate interest in the job. It's probably his if he wants it.

So, balls in Miami's court now. We interview McDaniel again today and he has fans within the organization. I think we will have a new HC by Wednesday due to process of elimination but I have no idea who it will be.

Most of us thought that as soon as Flores was fired. What we didn't see coming was Ross and Harbaugh trying to save Michigan recruiting first.

Ross puts his money where his mouth is. The city wouldn't build a new stadium for the team so he renovated ours with hundreds of millions from his own pocket. I have a lot of respect for that and feel it should be that way with all owners.

That being said, it seems clear that Miami is not his #1 sports priority and may not even be Top 3 when it comes down to all his business interests. I genuinely believe he wanted to save Michigan recruiting first but somehow it leaked that Harbaugh had an NFL interview and now we will see how that affects the whole thing. If he does leave, Michigan brought it on themselves. Cutting his salary in half after a bad Covid shortened season that was pure insanity all around.

From a Dave Hyde article today  .... made me chuckle. From what I keep reading there are a lot of people who have no idea how involved Ross is with Michigan football. Dave Hyde does though.  

I’m not saying Jim Harbaugh is the greatest and most essential football coach on the market. It’s not clear if he’s great, essential or even on the market.

I’m just saying if University of Michigan owner Steve Ross won’t let Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross hire Harbaugh out of some schoolboy allegiance, it’s an injustice to his pro team. And its players. And its fans.

As fans, if this is the case, what do you even do about it? I can't see how it's illegal by NFL Rules standards but it certain is immoral and shows your commitment to another football team over your own. If Harbaugh goes back to the NFL and it's not with us, I'm not going to have too much confidence in the upcoming season.

I got to be honest with you. If the Dolphins completely screw up this coaching hire, I'm seriously considering giving up on them. I don't live in Miami and I never have. I started rooting for Miami because of Shula and then because of Dan Marino. I'm tired of this franchise being where they are and not being able to do anything positive. If they screw this up, I might be changing allegiances. I barely watch the games as they are now because I don't enjoy watching them, mostly I only watch once the game is over and I know whether they won or lost so it's not so painful to watch. I'm close to my breaking point with this team and this coaching hire could put me over the edge. When they started to look for a coach and Ross said he wanted to hire one with some experience, I was excited, but that seems to have fallen by the wayside and they're back to just finding a hot OC that doesn't appear to know the first thing about being a head coach. If that happens, it might be the last straw for me.

Then go be like that wacko TommyNoleFin and root for Tampa Bay.  They've got their Lombardi Trophy but they are about to enter another elongated period of suckitude.

I live in NY so I understand. Thing is, I wouldn't be able to pick a new team. I would just stop following them or barely know what's going on like I did with the Knicks for.....umm, a decade.

I read something wrong, Harbaugh did not interview yet. The Vikings are flying him in tomorrow for the interview and NFL Network reports he is already deep in the process and a finalist for the job.

Several times I've been furious with this franchise, usually I am just apathetic. Wannstedt refusing to move on from Fiedler is one. Winning those December games in 2019 is another. Letting Harbaugh go to Minnesota would be another one. There is no way he prefers Minnesota over us, we are the far superior team on the field and have better draft(next year) and salary cap capital. If he is coming back to the NFL, and it looks like he is, make him the Godfather offer today. He can't board that plane for Minnesota.
