Rich Rod out at Mich.....does this affect the Dolphins ?

Damn, That's disappointing as long as he stayed there the buckeyes would have kept beating them.

So much promise for that guy coming out of WV and...adios

Hurts our pursuit of Harbaugh, I consider this unfortunately newsworthy

It won't affect us unless we hire Rich Rod. Harbaugh is gonna stay on the west coast. He's gonna take the 49ers job.

RR for OC... :shifty:

I think unaffected. We're not going to hire RR, nor is any other pro team.

I think it messes up some that wanted Harbaugh....But I don't see Harbaugh
leaving Stanford. Why would he leave? I would NEVER leave Stanford. His expectations
of winning are never high, but, his recruits overachieve, are smart, and respond to him.

Not to mention, some of you have probably never been to the Bay area. It's a great
place to live and work if you can afford it. He can, and, it is.

This wont hurt our chances.....

But this might:

Carolina likely to draft Luck if he comes out

There has been some speculation that Luck and Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh could be a package deal.

The Panthers already have requested permission to interview San Diego defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell. Although the team officials said they won't rule out candidates from the college ranks, they said the hire likely will be an NFL coordinator.


This seems like good news to me. :)

Weather wise..see Miami. Take into account ambition and the desire to coach an NFL team. That is likely a part of what he is weighing in his mind. Could go either way.

Have you been to the BA? The weather is not like Miami at all. I've been to both places, and it's dissimilar in just about every way.
I had to wear a sweater every morning when I got up (Around 5 AM) and old folks were falling out when the
temperature hit 83 degrees. In August. The BA is almost like paradise, and, when you have the means to live
well there, it's a beutiful thing. He's a fool to leave if he does, which I am not certain of.

Are we seriously thinking WEATHER is going to change his mind? Cmon now. That is most likely the last thing on his mind.

I think he meant Miami has the better weather. However, I've lived in both places and really loved the Bay Area weather...

You'd be surprised how much weather affects the choices of where people live.

Clearly there are lots of factors. I settled in TX largely for the weather. Other things colored my choice....Gun laws...
No tax based on how much you make solely....Though I don't make that much. I like the idea of it, and, I still hope to one
day!

Weather can affect people's choices...but Harbaugh is about to cash in to the point where weather is irrelevant. I live in the Bay Area (about 15 minutes from Stanford) and love it here. But if an owner of a football team in Siberia offered me millions of dollars to coach...I would be gone in a heartbeat.

Besides...Harbaugh went to college in Ann Arbor, coached in San Diego and now Stanford. The guy has seen all kinds of weather. Weather isn't a deciding factor.

Based on his press conference last night, he is clearly leaving Stanford and most likely for the pro game. He avoided the question 20 times over which pretty much tells you where his head is at.

I can also tell you that the local Bay Area sports shows are CLAMORING for the Niners to hire him. They will throw more money at him then anyone else.

He'll be hired at Michigan by the end of the month if not the end of the week.

Also with the labor talks in the NFL and the possibiltiy of a lockout, i don't see a rookie HC coming into the NFL unable to even meet and work with his players until later in the season if at all. i seriously doubt he wants to put himself in that position. And according to ESPN and local Ann Habor chat he's comming to UofM.

Our fine South Florida school systems will DEFINITELY be the deciding factor...in him choosing the Niners.

And no, he will NOT be in Michigan. It will either be Stanford or a pro gig.

To me, taking the SF job is a no brainer. I can't stand lots of things about CA, but, if you can make a mil or three, you
are an idiot to leave the place.

Then again anyone with that kind of loot, will have his kids in a very exclusive private school, which are in any location. So schools wouldn't be a factor.

I absolutely agree with this. No way is that guy going to MI.

No kidding, right? I'm sure there's a great school or three in SOFLA if you can afford them.

Plus, added bonus for Harbaugh...he doesn't have to buy new shirts since they are the same colors. He can just put a sticker SF logo over the Stanford one.

It makes zero sense for Harbaugh to go there other than the fact that he went to school there. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Les Miles ends up there though.
