I heard John Clayton on the radio today and he was saying that the thought around the league is that this is Harbaugh's last year in San Francisco, and that it doesn't seem like college is the best fit for him.  He mentioned Miami being a very possible place to end up.

Interesting.

ugh . .and exactly what has he done in san fransisco that warrants him a job in miami ?
just another loser retread coach.

he'll probably end up with a under 500 record this year as well.

Super Bowl appearance and 3 conference championship games with a team he inherited. Not bad. Ross would cut off his left arm to get him. It would mean letting him be a czar like Saban was and giving him 100% power over everything though.

Jon Harbaugh might be in play too. That Ravens scandal isn't over...he could be run out over it. But Jim is more likely to be on the open market

that's the problem . .he inherited a good team and he's been going downhill since then .. where's the improvement ? . .all i see with harbaugh is regression.

He didn't inherit a good team, they were 6-10.. He cleaned up the Mike Singletary mess. Coming here he would clean up the  Philbin mess. Not a horrible team but not a great team either. Just like what he did in SF

I feel like Harbaugh has the right make-up for what this team needs.  I'd like our next coach to be a hard-ass no-nonsense guy with attitude and flair.  I don't want another "nice guy" - although it seems like that's what Ross (or maybe it was Ireland) likes to hire. 

Perhaps Ireland liked submissive "nice guy" coaches so that he didn't get his own power overridden by some other alpha-male personality.

Harbaugh is gonna be a guy who will coach a team 3 or 4 years...wear out his welcome because his approach just burns the team and others out...and then he will move on. I don't see him as a guy who will coach 10+ years in the same place.  His abrasiveness is what makes him great as a coach but will also wear out his welcome fast inside organizations

The guy is a clown.

Harbaugh isn't my favorite type of coach, but I do like the guy.

The coach that I want is the smartest guy in the room.  I don't really like "motivator" coaches as I think that's all smoke and mirrors bullcrap.

Harbaugh would be a great coach for Miami. Fortunately, I don't see him leaving the 49ers any time soon...

Are you kidding me??  He took a 6-10 team and had them in the conference title game the following season and they were a muffed punt in OT away from a Super Bowl appearance.  The following year they were a botched pass interference call away from winning the whole thing. 

I'd love to have a coach who can put the Dolphins in that position

Is there any way to speed up that gif?  ;D

^^^ Yeah, blink your eyes really fast while looking at it.

Fuck Harbaugh and the horse he rode in on. I'm completely serious about this. He basically played Miami against SF to get a better contract there. Fuck him. I hope he's out of the NFL if he doesn't make it in SF.

^^^ You might want to see someone about that misplaced anger issue..."I'm completely serious about this."

Or he wasn't keen on a team that already had a coach in place trying to hire him. Farfetched I know...  ::)

Jim Harbaugh is basically Andy Reid minus a sense of professionalism.  Andy Reid accomplished virtually the same thing in Philly (multiple back-to-back CCG appearances, along with a Super Bowl loss), and I wouldn't be thrilled about getting him, either.

Yeah, why hire coaches that have actually gotten their teams to Superbowls. Perpetually missing the playoffs is so much better.

I hear Bill Callahan and Jim Fassel are both available.

Take anything that Spidey says about any 49ers player/coach with a metric ton of salt...he has deep-seated inferiority issues that he's still dealing with from SF's dynasty years.

Cue trademark Spidey circular argument/filibuster rebuttal in 3...2...1...

Sounds like you'd prefer Cam Cameron.

Actually he didn't. Ross flew out to him, if Jim wanted the job he would have flown to Miami. Ross chased him not the other way around

If that was the case tell Miami don't bother interviewing me I don't want the job.

Maybe, but on the bright side I got a feeling that Ross feels pretty much the same way.

I don't ever remember Jim Harbaugh telling the media he had no interest in the Miami job prior to getting the job in SF. Maybe my memory is faulty. I am over 50 now and on the down slide of my life. I have no problem being wrong and if I am and someone wants to go to the trouble to prove to me that I am, then I'll back up and punt, but for now I don't want Jim Harbaugh coming to the Dolphins especially if it doesn't work out in SF. What an ass he must be if they want him gone.

I said that I was glad Miami didn't get Harbaugh back in January 2011 (http://www.thedolphinsmakemecry.com/forums/index.php?topic=18002.msg221800;topicseen#msg221800).  That was before he made his clown antics a trademark.

At least Harbaugh played in the NFL and has more credibility than coach Philbin. 

He said that they didn't have the right guy making decisions (referring to Jeff Ireland) and that was the biggest factor in him turning down Miami at the time.  Him and Ross are both Michigan alumni.  I'm sure if Ross offers him the conditions he wants, along with a substantial pay raise, he will take the job.

and it'll be Jimmy Johnson all over again .. but without the championship history

Best .gif in the history of .gifs.

Looks like the Harbaugh rumors are picking up steam

http://www.thephinsider.com/2014/9/29/6868025/jim-harbaugh-rumors-could-dolphins-be-interested-in-49ers-coach-as

SBNation + Phinsider + LaCanfora. If they could have gotten a quote from somebody at PFT in there, they would have hit for the ridiculousness cycle. You could get more accurate information if you'd just ask a homeless dude on the I-95 offramp what he thinks.

Wait...hold the presses!! I just heard from an unnamed reliable source in close proximity to someone who is near to the team that someone who knows Stephen Ross believes he has possibly spoken with someone who is allegedly a voodoo witch doctor about a potential scenario where the organization resurrects Vince Lombardi to be Miami's next zombie head coach.

Jay Glazer on FOX pregame show this morning said he doesnt see any way Harbaugh returns to coach SF after this season. Even if they win the Super Bowl. That this is Harbaugh's last year in SF.

Glazer isn't one of these guys who floats rumors, for him to take such a strong stance....he knows something.

^^^ He knows Ultimate Fighting, or WWF, or one of those angry fighting sports that isn't as good as boxing.

For the eleventy billionth time in the past two years, Harbaugh isn't going anywhere.

To clarify, when you say Harbaugh isn't going anywhere, do you mean that he will still be coaching the 49ers three seasons from now, or two seasons from now, or just finishing this season... what, exactly?

Because I think most people would agree that Harbaugh isn't going anywhere this season.

Considering that SF wanted to and tried to trade him last offseason and now every NFL reporter has the same story even someone like Glazer who is reputable and accurate in his reporting and has a solid reputation is now reporting this and citing sources, it's more than just a silly rumor at this point.

I'm gonna side with Jay Glazer over Sunstroke who is just hoping and praying at this point that his favorite coach stays with his favorite team and has nothing to back it up. Keep crossing your fingers and praying every night though stroke, maybe it will pay off

If a coach is under contract, the new team has to give the old team compensation in order to hire him.  Do you know if that compensation can be negotiated or is it set in stone?

He can go back to college and not have to worry about it. If he wants to stay in the NFL it will make things interesting.

The compensation is negotiated

Harbaugh's contract runs through the end of "next" season, so he's going to be here at least another year after this one. This means that sheeple will have the opportunity to sink their/your teeth into a few hundred more "Harbaugh is getting traded to Cleveland," "Harbaugh is going to get fired" and "Harbaugh is leaving to join the Romanian circus" unfounded rumors from unnamed sources.

He can leave any time he wants and take the Michigan job. Which he very well might

You could leave at any time to undergo a transgender procedure, but until it happens, I won't refer to you as MichelleO...

Bad comedy which doesn't change the fact there are reports Michigan and representatives from Harbaugh's camp have talked

So you think Harbaugh will finish his last year without a new contract?

That is exceedingly uncommon for head coaches in the NFL; I would struggle to think of two examples in the last 20 years.

^^^ No, I think he has his contract extended after this season. Short of that, I think he coaches out next year with the 49ers, rather than any of the half-baked goofy-ass rumors that pop up every other day.
