    Aside from winning with Andrew Luck who Harbaugh said "Might be the best QB ever" Jim Rome wants to know if Harbaugh is worth all this bouncing around and is he worth 7-8 million. Valid argument

    That's the whole point, which Jim rome completely misses.

    Andrew Luck might be the best QB ever because of Jim Harbaugh.

    He wasn't a highly sought after recruit, no one thought he was anything special, and yet now here he is.

    Harbaugh certainly had something to do with that

    It's more about the willingness of our owner to want something and do what it takes to get it. That's what I care about.

    Luck was going to be good with or without Harbaugh.

    I'm not a Rome fan, but he is right, what has he done to earn this money?

    Not saying its a bad move, but he is right

    He graduated from Michigan. That's where Ross graduated from.

    Maybe.

    But to suggest that coaching had nothing to do with his success is silly.

    At the end of the day, he's done no more to earn his money than Sam Bradford did to earn that $50 million he received last year. You're making a bet on the future.

    He was a highly ranked recruit coming out of high school, I can confirm that much.

    Bradford had more of a track record than Harbaugh. I'm not saying its a wrong move, but we better hope he is good, because that is a hell of a lot of money Ross will be stuck paying if he is not.

    What about every 1st pick of the draft that get paid an insane amount of money?

    well he's right. the salary for head coaches was pretty much stable before this. If you're going to pay 8 mill per yr for an unproven commodity then someone like Belichik will be able to demand 15 mill. Basically this signing just made the costs of running a football team much more expensive and of course the costs will be passed on to the fans

    You have stats, workouts and tons of film on them back to their HS days. You follow a pay scale from years before.

    Harbaugh has what? A 29- 21 record in big time college.

    Again, I'm not saying he is a bad choice, but the money is insane.

    This is going to be Nick Saban all over again. Stupid, stupid move to pay him that much money, in my opinion.

    I agree as well.
    Hiring Harbaugh is a risk.
    There is an element of him that absolutely is unknown as far as leading an NFL team.

    However he is considered to be one of the best developing coaches in the game by both college and pro analysts.
    He took a Stanford program that has suffered historically from high admission standards and turned it into a top 5 team.

    He does have NFL experience as well and that's always been his goal.
    Most importantly I think Ross, Peterson and Ireland realize an aggressive philosophy needs to be adapted by this team and thats why they jumped at Harbaugh.

    I'm nervous about Harbaugh as well but I am excited about the philosophies and the attitude change he no doubt will bring.

    You only become great by making bold moves. Ross has placed his bet and his legacy will lie or die with the hire.

    By all accounts the Nick Saban move was a good one at the time.
    He was a cherished coach.
    I don't fault the PHins organization for making the move at all.
    Who knew his heart wouldn't be in running an NFL team.

    I see this move as similar and from all accounts there is nothing to show Harbaugh will have the same regret about leaving college for the pros.
    In fact if he wanted to stay in college at all he got a prime chance to make a run at a Natl. Championship with Luck deciding to stay at Stanford.
    You think NFL jobs wouldn't still be calling for him next year? Clearly he wants the NFL.

    every coach you hire is a risk there is no such thing as a guarantee, belichick was **** with the browns and he was awful with the patriots until bledsoe went down and brady came in, now espn worships the guy as a mad genius

    cowher was a loser who could never win the big one and he finally won one now he is the greatest, there is no guarantees out there

    Hey, it IS a valid question. What has Harbaugh done?? It seems everyone here is falling over themselves with unjust optimism all the while we have no clue what-so-ever what kind of impact this guy will make,if any at all. Its a ton of money for a coach who never had even a minute of NFL HC experience. Did we not learn our lesson with Saban? I thought he was the one, and look how that turned out. Maybe its me but I have to be impressed before I label it the perfect move.

    Coached up Gannon well enough that he gained some prominence on their way to a Super Bowl appearance in 2002 v. Bucs. Resurrected a program to national prominence. Seems to manage a game rather well from the games I watched this season (check out espn3.com and you can catch the replay of the Orange Bowl at least). Successful NFL QB that went to the playoffs. Hmm, seems to be pretty good. Worth $7-8million? You could ask the same about Dansby. To us, Dansby and seemingly Harbaugh are worth the money thrown/being thrown respectively.

    what messed up saban was choosing culpepper over brees, if the phins decided the other way around things might have ended up different with saban
    no one is saying it is the perfect move but sometimes you have to go for it and hope you hit a home run

    I agree with this and believe me I hope we finally do hit a homerun. But,with the way us fans have suffered with lost optimism in the past , I`ll wait and see if this all works out first.
