N/S Harbaugh Will Take Raiders Job If Offered (1 Viewer)

I know the interest is real. Sarah has been wanting Jim to return to the NFL since 2016. Jim was never going to be a lifer at Michigan, and he is kind of surprised he has stuck around this long. I’m sure Warde will try to convince him to stay at least another year even though they have a kind of love-hate relationship. But a return to the NFL is inevitable if only to fulfill the wishes of Sarah.
 
That’s what getting your butt kicked by OSU every year (except this past year) will do to a person. He should go back to the NFL. He won’t take Michigan any further than he did this year.
I don't know if anyone can take them farther than they did this year. Unless Michigan goes crazy with NIL money then the Big Ten will continue to be Ohio State and then everyone else.

I'm probably in the minority but I think Captain Comeback is just a bit overrated. He's done well in college but he's never been close to winning a championship. With the 49ers he inherited one of the most loaded rosters in the league. They had Pro Bowlers up and down the roster but they couldn't win it all.

Harbaugh's stint with the Niners was one of the most successful in franchise history, and his . 688 winning percentage from 2011 through 2014 ranks second best and only behind former head coach George Seifert.
 
Jim is a burnout waiting to happen. Wherever he goes or stays, the inevitable will happen. It's just a matter of time.

He's better off in the college ranks where he doesn't have to answer to an NFL GM or an owner. College ADs are milquetoast by comparison.

We're talking about the same franchise that gave the former coach total power and a 10-year deal. There's a real possibility he's peaked at Ann Arbor, so why not try and match his brother and get an SB ring. Also, coming in the door with an established QB and team that just made the playoffs is pretty attractive.
 
I have been impressed with Harbaugh as a coach, not just at Michigan, but at all of his stops. He burns out, but before he does he lifts those programs out of the trash. USD, Stanford, 49ers, Michigan. They all required a lot of heavy lifting to get them to where they were when he left, and he typically leaves things better than when he found them.

The burn out has to do with administrations not being familiar with success such as what he brought them. Michigan is a great spot for him because they want to build a winner, and they are giving him flexibility for days. I hope he sticks it out because Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Michigan has a few more years before they are fully accepted as a National Championship threat.

While all true, it doesn't change the fact that he's an absolute a-hole.
Mark Davis isn't the sharpest crayon in the box so we need to factor that into the equation as well.

NIL can’t help. The SEC is supreme and players know where the big dogs play. In fact, NIL is making the SEC stronger. Hardbaugh knows that. Hardbaugh needs a change. He knows how coach and he somehow connects with his team. I think he would be a great fit for the Raiders. Lots of temptations in Vegas obviously, so I think he can keep those players grounded to an extent.

Yeah no doubt. Those were some good 49er teams and he was obviously a big part of that success. But they couldn't seal the deal. Harbaugh is a good coach but I've never bought into his legendary status.

It is not so much burnout as it is Jim wears out his welcome. He is not an easy person to work for/with. Trust me.
 
He's negotiated his reup with Michigan, you have to set the market and his market expands beyond College Football. After he took that pay cut last year and proved his worth this year, The Michigan Brass is going to have to open up those wallets and purses and pay him for his value. he's already hired more people for his staff on the Defensive line and offensive assistants so he's staying.

Yeah, but I doubt he will want to continue to have his future determined by having to talk 17 and 18 year-old kids into going to his school. Recruiting takes a lot of time up for college coaches. He may not want to do it anymore and he may not enjoy it. Also, with all the NIL stuff coming and the musical chairs in the transfer portal, he may not want to have to learn a new way to run a college program when he can go to the NFL and not have to worry about any of that.
