Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
The bastion of truth, Myth Albom, has published a sickening puff piece on Jimmy in today's freep. It would be comical if not so pathetic.

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
I won't even waste my team reading that article. Myth Albom indeed!
It appears some within the Vikings organization weren't completely sold on the notion of hiring Harbaugh. The GM certainly was, but the team's ownership may have been a bit skeptical of the move. Probably helps explain why the interview lasted nine fucking hours.
Suspecting there was a chance the Vikings would announce a new HC other than himself (in which case his tail definitely would've been tucked between his legs), Jimmy decided to cut things off at the pass by announcing his return to Ann Arbor before an opportunity would've arisen of being embarrassed.
I agree this recent drama may cause a few future recruits to think twice.

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
Don't believe the lazy nfl narrative. He could have taken the Miami job if he wanted it. I truly believe this was an ego thing. The reporting that he was unprepared for the interview was 100% bullshit. I think the new contract will be reflective if what Jim has said regarding this not happening again.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 8:02 pmI won't even waste my team reading that article.

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
I agree completely that some other teams would've been interested in interviewing him if given the chance. I also agree any claim he was unprepared for the interview is likely utter b.s.
I think it is a near certainty his new contract will be significantly juicier from a compensation standpoint. But that doesn't address the elephant in the room, which is NIL.
I think the appeal of the Minnesota gig was his cordial relationship with that team's new GM. If that GM weren't there, he would not have interviewed with the Vikings.

Oops! Gattis gone. Now Jimmy needs a DC and an OC!

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
They have 3 candidates on staff. Gattis is going to be a head coach in the next cycle anyway.

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
He didn't leave for head coach job, he's gonna have the same OC position at Miami. I'm sure Michigan isn't gonna miss the Broyles award winner for best assistant coach. But I thought all was well with Jimmy and Gattis? Wasn't Jimmy gonna get more bucks for his staff with his new contract he's gonna sign after turning down the Viking job?
As soon as assistants get a whiff of another opportunity, they bolt. Jimmy finally gets his OSU win and tries to cash out. There's a pattern here.

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
I get it, you are only interested in shitting on Michigan, but Harbaugh has done a pretty good job of putting together staffs throughout his career. Gattis likely saw success under multiple coaches as an OC as a path to a higher level first HC job.

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
Harbaugh pissed his staff off the way he handled the Viking situation, whether you want to admit it or not. This will linger on with future hires and recruiting.
EDIT: Yeah, this sounds like a healthy situation....

In a text to some Michigan players, Josh Gattis said, “Unfortunately the past few weeks has told a different story to me about the very little appreciation I have here from administration. In life I would never advise anyone to be where they are not wanted…”

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
Likely a Gattis issue, but go ahead and try to shit on Michigan...

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
Uh-huh, because you always take the high road when you talk about MSU. Does the term, "midget cunt" ring a bell?
Besides, last week you said Gattis was a head coach possibility, and now he's the problem?
Seems like other Wolvies realize how serious this might be:

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
I agree with Honeyman to an extent.
All clearly is not well in Ann Arbor.
That said, Gattis' offensive schema didn't exactly work well his first two years in town. Last year's offense, however, looked a lot more like a traditional U-M offense. The on-field results were certainly improved.
Sounds like Gattis is pissed he wasn't rewarded with a handsome contract extension and pay increase.
So, I think there's a decent chance Gattis would've bolted regardless of Harbaugh's NFL exploratory activity. In terms of "shitting on Michigan," seems to me that's precisely what Gattis did!

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
Gattis was not an actual candidate to be considered for HC at any point, and that is why he left. I made an educated guess that based on his resume and background that he would be high on the list. There is some stuff out there about what allegedly happened, but it's just conjecture at this point.Honeyman wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 2:09 pmUh-huh, because you always take the high road when you talk about MSU.

Brandon is persona non grata with the program - he's our Antonio Brown. BTW, here's a little trivia for you: what do Antonio Brown and Braylon Edwards have in common?

Re: Jimmy Harbaugh fails in quest to get NFL head coaching job
Harbaugh, Hart, and Moore are probably deserving of the most credit for the offense this last year. Gattis came into his own as a playcaller, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was encouraged to leave. Notice that no current players appear to be upset at the departure...MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 5:15 pmI agree with Honeyman to an extent.
