790 The Ticket Confirms Harbaugh is a DONE DEAL.. Do you guys trust LeBatard/Stugotz?

Exactly. Sparano gets paid either way. Ross owns him.

 

Why is the league pissed? What do they care as long as the Rooney rule is complied with?

Is there some rule that you can't shop for a coach while still having one employed? If so, there are alot of teams in trouble including the 49ers who pretty clearly had contact with Harbaugh while singletary was the coach

 

correction, I got the scoop on Lebron, they repeated it.

 

To John Wooten, “minority” is code word for “black”.

 

Still can't believe we're giving $8 Mil to a coach with as much NFL coaching experience than I do. Here's to hoping he doesn't get college-sick and pulls a Saban on us.

 

Oh crap are you serious? I have been telling everyone and their mother it's a done deal, man I hate the internet sometimes.

 

If he got his guy I'm impressed, they way he handled Sparano, not so much

 

Don’t panic. The two don’t conflict.

Le Batard’s sources are saying the deal is done because Harbaugh and the Dolphins have agreed on the parameters of a contract. I’m assuming that 790’s news update used the phrasing “on the verge”, and they did that because that’s more accurate: Harbaugh has not signed a contract, Sparano has yet to be fired, and the Rooney Rule has yet to be satisfied.

It’s perfectly fine to tell people Harbaugh is the next coach of the Dolphins.

 

You were an NFL quarterback, and offensive assistant coach? Awesome, what was it like?

 

I went 7-9 a bunch of years

 

Maybe you should be trying to save your job and not be on a message forum.

 

Linda Cohen on Sportscenter just said that Denver was setting up an interview with Harbaugh....sorry no link it was on tv.

 

It really doesn't matter.

They can't compete financially. They owe McDaniels a ton of money.

And we can't finalize anything today anyways as we have to fire Tony and have a Rooney rule interview. Unless Harbaugh is super psyched about Tebow and is willing to take alot less coin, then denver is no threat. Only SF coming up with a last minute cash surge scares me.

 

Very funny. Not shocked at anything at this point. Not fair to Tony.

 

Season's over and exhuberant fist-pumping won't do a lick at this point.

 

If I remember correctly they reached and agreement and settled so they could be players if Bowlen will give Elway the checkbook.

 

Of course they are, they are scared now that the Dolphins will become a threat to their precious NE & Jets.

 

They are also still paying for Shanny also.

 

isnt it weird how a day or 2 espn and sports media were drooling over harbaugh talking about him being the hottest coaching prospect in history and then when the phins swoop in and throw some cash down the whole"he hasnt coached a game yet" **** starts yet it is all right to pay first picks in the draft who havent thrown a pass or played a game 30+ million guaranteed cash?

 

There is a huge difference between paying a player and paying a coach.

Plus they are fixing over paying rookies soon.

 

what is the difference? there both risks. coachs coach and players play, look at andrew luck all the talking heads out there saying he is the greatest qb to come out in history, whose to say he doesnt bust? who is to say harbaugh doesnt win a championship? no one knows anything and people in the sports media who do have there head up there ***.

 

It's important to understand the the Dolphins haven't decided they need to fire a bad coach. They have decided that they have an okay coach by would prefer to get a great one if they can.

 

There sure is. A coach's salary doesn't count against the salary cap.

 

It's possible it's true, but Dan Lebatard and someone called "Stugotz" probably aren't going to be the people who break any meaningful information that isn't accompanied by slide whistle and farting sound effects.

 

Because the coach runs the entire team and the player is a player on the team.

it is a completely different situation. For one you can bench a player, you cannot bench a coach.

 

you hire a bad coach it can set you back a couple of years, you draft a "franchise player" in the first round and they bust it sets you back at least 5 years and the coach loses his job they go hand in hand

a coach gamble is no different then putting all your chips in the middle for a player

 

They have good info and sources. Dan fills in on PTI sometimes...They know a lot of NFL people and players.

 

Generally in both cases the team is bad to begin with. Drafting the franchise player hurts mostly due to the salary cap. A good coach could work around that and still produce a good team.

You can draft the best team and still lose if you have a bad head coach.

 

well now its 50/50 apparently. talk about a circus side show

 

50/50 says whom?

 

this whole thing reminds me of the calvin pace watch a couple of years ago

 

Mortemer

 

Actually the opposite. They have broken stories with remarkable accuracy in the past.

 

He said he didn;t know, that it was a guess on his part.

 

He nailed Bosh/Wade/LeBron days ahead of time, even before that silly ESPN Free Agent Summit special that was supposed to spoof the rumor that Wade, LeBron, and Bosh had met to decide what they were going to do. He nailed Jon Gruden NOT going to UM at a time when nearly everyone said he was.

Just because he’s best known for “Bam!” and what is basically The Onion of sports talk radio doesn’t mean he’s not credible. He has a track record.

 

Spoken like someone who doesnt know who Lebetard is and who he is in touch with.
