That was the worst move Ross has made yet....if he wanted Harbaugh and didn't think Sparano was the coach of the future he should have fired Sparano at the end of the season...instead he extends his contract then decides to stop Harbaugh from signing with San Fran when everyone new that was the place Harbaugh wanted to coach all along....so what did he accomplish with that maneuver? It drove a wedge between the coach and GM, the players knew Tony's days were numbered, the top prospects in coaching avoided us like the plague or they used us for negotiating purposes all that for a trip to West Coast that was doomed from the beginning.....it didn't show balls it was amateur hour.......Ross may not be dumb but he is out of his league at the moment running a NFL franchise, hopefully he is smart enough to know this.....
I have doubts now, when has anyone on this board been consistent about anything? one week he sucks and should be fired, the next week he is a pro bowler and great pick by Ireland, this week we have the best 2nd yr QB, mid week, the QB blows and we need to draft another.....one yr fire Sparano anyone would be better than him, 2yrs later this coaching staff sucks...you get the point I can go on and on and to be honest it shouldn't occur to the owner that we might fall apart, he believed in his people and players that they would get the job done, he even spoke to them (probably for the first time) mid week with a pep talk....give the guy some slack, the bottom line is he doesn't make any rash decisions, he needs to talk to the people he trust and then make a decision....I give him to Monday of next week. If he going to make a move he needs to get the next step in place which would probably be a team president who will conduct the GM search, what I don't want is him making a knee jerk reaction and we end up with a GM and Coaching staff that is worse than what we got now....
You don't lose at home to the Jets.
I agree some said Tanny-Hill was a franchise QB , even after our defense bailed out Tanny-Hill against the Patriots, with great defense, and we got lucky that Steeler player stepped out of bounds.
This is coaching and front office problems.
Tanny-Hill is not the answer, failed big in to favorable games.
He's a sack and turnover machine.
Our defense didn't really give up that many points in all its games.

I'll tell you guys, I think most of these posts are pretty funny. When someone here can prove they built a 4 Billion Dollar Empire I will take your opinion seriously on Ross. He is a smart man, maybe he still has some learning to do on the NFL front, but he's thinking about these decisions long and hard before he does something dumb and rash. At least he's an owner who does let his football people do their jobs and gives them the capital to do so, he will get this right. At least see what decisions he makes on this before we are calling him "clueless, moron, idiot etc"
Anyone here build a 4 Billion Dollar Empire?????? Speak up!
It is pitiful that the Jets have a better looking future than us
Come on guys, really?
I know it's Mando but is it really a stretch to believe a team NOT READY to play for a playoff berth, is NOT READY for action if they don't make the playoffs?
Even if he's speculating, it's probably more right than wrong.
Why are people taking speculation from Armando Salguero at face value?
You guys do realize that Armando is basically trying to save Jeff Ireland's job every time he pens something, right?
Then please at draft time tell us how it should be done. but you wont, you are a reactionist.
Any word on the NFL's investigation?
Ross could be waiting till he has everything in front of him about what's going to happen to our organization per Goodell, before making a drastic decision himself.
