Yahoo says Harbaugh to Fins/Michigan because players are disgruntled

I'm sure Ross is wanting the details (or already knows details) about the cause for locker-room turmoil. Miami's pretty experienced in that category these past few years.
 
This doesn't surprise me at all.

Ross has already shown that he will go BEHIND a coaches back and pursue what he wants - it was Jim H. before and I think hes done it again. He knows that the contract is almost up...and I think there were PRELIMINARY discussions with the agent.

The biggest reason it makes sense!? Because the Pats are vulnerable...Brady will be gone in a couple years and as it looks now...the Pats are done being the undisputed #1 in the division. Its a NEW ERA in the AFC East and its up for the taking. Miami has talent and besides paying out the ass for him...its certainly the best chance to win in the NFL (Browns!? really?)

Harbaughs next best place to be is in Miami if he is planning on leaving San Fran. If he does - its a no brainer.

About the egomaniac comments ----- Dan Marino is one of the biggest full of himself egomaniacs that has ever played the game ----and yet we all LOVED him for it. Do you remember hearing ANYthing bad about Harbaugh before this year?? No...in fact this alpha male characteristic is respected in the locker room by the players...so I welcome it all. The full package. Bring it to Miami and give us some personality. Joe Philbin....while I wish he would succeed is a TOTAL PARALLEL to Cam Cameron. We need to follow up on Philbin the same way we did after Cam with a prick who will put some discipline into these guys and take us to the next level.

Its gonna happen....lets revisit this post next summer.

Saban was NOT a great football coach in the most competitive arena for us. At best he was mediocre and a case can be made that without Scott Linehan, he was actually a sub-par NFL coach... as well as a liar and quitter. And an awful de facto GM as the fleeting successes of most of his picks would indicate. He's also the moron who passed on Aaron Rodgers, drafted a part time RB and signed a journeyman QB best known for banging his head against walls. Sorry but I'm getting the same megalomaniac vibe from Harbaugh. I could be wrong but, who here would have wanted Saban if we had the benefit of a wayback machine? Now if you said "Pete Carroll" who's actually had previous NFL HC experience, wasn't a poseur, was almost as successful a college coach and is now a SB building and winning coach, I'd say "hell yeah" sign him up if we could get him!" He also proves that you don't have to be an azzhole to galvanize and incentivize the players to win big time.

Nick Saban: great college football coach - terrible human being.

All this talk about a new coach, we still have a coach. All this talk is to cause more trouble for our team, the NFL net. would bash hell out of us as they do every day. Lets just play ball for now,

Great college recruiter and defensive coordinator. Its easy being good in Alabama though. Lets see him be as good in a non power 5 school. He'd probably run away again.

Don't know why anyone would be excited to have a coach the players don't like. Harbaugh's personality rubs people the wrong way after a while. They've had a lot of success in San Francisco and they still don't like the coach...it would happen here eventually and then all you guys jumping for joy would end up turning on this guy just like the players in San Francisco.

There was a time, not-so-long-ago, that this guy's players couldn't stand his ass either:

A couple of championships later, that problem went away.

Just saying.
 
I live in the Bay Area, and I hear the chatter about Harbaugh and the 'Niners all the time. It's hard to separate assumption from fact when something like this is going on, but one thing keeps returning to the front of my mind... If Harbaugh is such a great and winning coach, why would his current team be willing to part with him, especially given that they've been moderately successful during his tenure? I don't know the answer.

Another thing, Harbaugh doesn't seem to be able to stick around in one place as a head coach for very long. As the old saying goes, the only constant in all your failed relationships is you. Even if we land him, we'll get what? Maybe a couple of division titles (meaningless in the long run) and maybe a couple of playoff wins (also meaningless in the long run)? And then he's gone for his next team. It's better than we've had recently, but I want more, and I want a coach who will build something lasting here.

Michigan can have him, as far as I'm concerned.

Same reason the Colts ownership was willing to let Joe Robbie steal Don Shula.

Of all the fanbases in the entire NFL, I can't even believe that it's our fanbase that doesn't understand how conflict between ownership and head coach can result in a great head coach being driven out of town.

Problem is ... a lot of our younger fanbase has never heard about how we got Shula. :idk:
 
I don't want him....he has had 3 championship caliber teams, they all went to the conference finals, losing two and winning one, the two they lost the team went on to win the SB the one he won he lost the SB against a lesser team, what is he going to do with a team with less talent besides make a lot of money? He is good but over rated let him rob someone else....

If he becomes a FA Philbiin will not be able to save his job even if he made it to the SB this yr....
 
No thanks. Since Shula left, Miami has become the team where HCs and QBs come to sputter their last season or two and die. I'd rather roll the dice with Philbin than perpetuate that trend.
 
So three yards and a cloud of boring? Another ground and pound coach who succeeded with the best OL in football who comes to Miami with an all finesse OL--none of who me can run block? Does this remind anyone of Jimmy Johnson nd Wanstache?

So 8n this new era of closer attention to players we are linked with a coach who gets in fights while handshaking other coaches and is the only coach in the NFL who would take Jonathan Martin just to hide his collegiate practices?

The guy has done great winning and isn't wanted by the GM whose job depends on winning and the players who he has made successful?

Am I the only one who sees red flags here?

Vaark, I agree Saban did not prove himself on the NFL level. It's hard to argue that he is not a great football coach. I think your certainly right about his GM abliities as well. But the man can COACH. If he dedicated himself to the Dolphins, I think he would have done very well. The man was a scumbag, but he is a good football coach. As for Harbaugh, Like someone else said, Tom Coughlin was a prick too, players hated him. How do they feel now?
