Now that is just odd, and would explain the back and forth and the yesses and the no's as each Agent has it in their interest to make sure "their" deal is the one that Harbaugh accepts. Schizoid..sheesh
Yet Miami gets blasted by the press and so called fans for this, when Harbaugh is the real schmuck. This would have turned in to Saban redux is we brought him down here..
So: -Gruden wanted 10 million -Cowher wanted to "own" the Franchise without owning it -Harbaugh has dueling Agents Ross must think these head coach types are nutz..he probably flew home thinking "ya know, Sparano ain't that bad"
Padre, you keep throwing this 10 million dollar figure about for Gruden. I haven't see this reported anywhere but from you. Last I saw, he wanted a lot of money, but no where did it say 10 mil...? And it isn't uncommon for people to have more than one agent. Harbaugh just switch firms about a month ago (looks like SOMEONE knew he was about to cash in), so as a new high profile account, you often have more than one guy handling affairs. David Dunn is the main guy, but it isn't unheard of to have another that handles a lot of the dirty work and pre-work of a deal.
we made no offer to Gruden or Cowher... talks never got that far.. unlike Harbaugh of course. As for the two different agencies, the original reporter who broke that story is sticking by her report.
I'm fairly sure on that, I'd heard 7-10 million, and also heard when Gruden said that this past Monday- Tuesday Ross inquired to Ireland how much Harbaugh wanted and that brought everything to a full stop, they also had pitched Harbaugh at around the same time and he was cool to their approach in that same time frame. Different agencies negotiating deals with two seperate entities at the same time for only one purpose, being the Head Coach? That is a part of the reason why confusion has reigned in all of this, including Glazer saying one SF contact said they had not been in talks, the second SF contact said they had just negotiated that day.
hah... that reporter now states her twitter account could be hacked (she is standing by her story though). Someone with twitter hacking knowledge is working for Harbaugh too.
Ilya Kovalchuk of the Devils had two agents much like Harbaugh when he was a free agent last summer, at the time Kovy was negotiating with teams from the NHL and he had a seperate agent for that and the KHL - Russia's pro league - and he had a seperate agent for that as well.
You know P13, nature gives us warning signs, a porcupine has spikes, a skunk has a large dual white stripe down it's back, and potential head coaches have murky situations... just sayin'.
Get that crap out of here. So because someone doesnt agree with your opinion or is unhappy with how this whole deal has gone down they are less of a fan than you are? I hate that attitude, I don't get why so many damn arguements around here come down to that statement or something similar to it as well... My appologies for jumping down your throat with it, but I can't stand seeing crap like that.
potential HC's looking to make a move from the college game to the pro game... who happen to be underpaid and coming off successful seasons.
But have an Agent for a return to college coaching, and an agent for a entrance into the NFL? Dorsel Fins, Rattles on tails...
