John Harbaugh - Baltimore fires him

[PACardsFan]

Top 3? I am gonna guess you didn’t watch him play this year. He definitely had a down year when he was playing and he missed four games.

Jackson was borderline awful this year. I’m an hour from Baltimore. The word out of Baltimore is that Harbaugh was tired of all the pampering that Lamar got from the Raven organization over the last few seasons.

 

[slanidrac16]

this would be an incredible hire.

Don’t fall for it , Stout. Ain’t never gonna happen.

 

[az jam]

I don't think his decision will be about money.He will get paid no matter where he goes. It probably will be about going to the best team and environment that he feels he can be successful.

 

[slanidrac16]

Just so all you Harbaugh jock sniffers are aware, Ravens fans have been begging for him to be fired for at least the last 5 years. Just saying lol.

They should move to Arizona for a year.

Peter Schrager just mentioned the Giants AND Arizona as possibilities citing Monti's connections to Baltimore. Baltimore is on the hook for two more seasons so the cash outlay wouldn't be that great..
Send the plane Michael. Invite him to the Fiesta Bowl and wine and dine him

I heard NYG as well.

I mean, Jackson played great with 3 TD on 18 attempts in the final game to make the playoffs and the defensive minded coach couldn't stop a 43 year old A-Ron, but ok. Heck, that last throw to set up the FG was put in a place that only his WR could catch. And based on what you are saying, a 85% Jackson won't win you game with Harbaugh. JB will get us 2 wins then.

ok so the player is responsible for the three touchdowns but the coach is responsible for stopping the other teams qb? Okie doke

On another note, Harbaugh was primarily a ST coach and has all of one year experience as a secondary coach.

Good for them. Philly fans said the same about Reid, too.

He’s been one of if not my favorite player to watch for years. Unfortunately I think he’s gonna have a hard time running as much as he is used to.

 

[PACardsFan]

As an ELITE play caller, Reid brought a ton more to the table than Harbaugh does. And I do like Harbaugh! And Reid was a lot younger when the Chiefs hired him than what Harbaugh is today.

Need not worry. The only way Harbaugh is coming to Arizona is if the team he signs with has a game scheduled here or he’s taking a vacation.

Well, that leaves us out of the discussion.

Yes. I think Baltimore would have beaten the Steelers easily with their backup QB playing. I really like Lamar too, but you could see that he had absolutely no desire to run and get hit. His ribs were a mess.

 

[JosiahLee]

Instantly the no. 1 target for the Cardinals. Bad news is that applies to most teams looking for a new HC.

Yeah he just became the #1 target for all vacancies.

 

[JosiahLee]

To compete in the toughest division in football?

Yeah any smart coach isn’t coming here to coach against NFC West coaches, only a desperate coach, or at least a coach without options.

 

[JosiahLee]

I don't think he gives us serious consideration unless we are willing to pay 5+ million more per year than the next closest team. I would bet money he goes to the Raiders. 1st pick...100 million in cap space. Davis could give him the type of deal/control he gave Gruden.

If by some slim chance Harbaugh goes to Tampa and Bowles gets fired, I'd bring him in as my new #1 choice. He should have been the hire after BA

Yeah I think Sean Payton is getting 18 mil a year, I wonder what he’ll command. Now granted, I would be more excited about Payton than Harbaugh…I actually think Jim Harbaugh is the real winner of the two brothers.

I can almost guarantee we could have offered Payton 20 and he still would have gone to Denver. We would have had to offer 25 with the Broncos offering 18 to even have a chance.

 

[AZ Native]

Gambo says no chance. Will take 20 million a year to get

Cards are worth 5.5 billion. 20 million is chump change.

I hate to admit it but this hits hard and true.

Hold up, so Baltimore called him back lol

 

[pemory09]

If the agent sends Harbaugh to AZ for a visit it will be just to drive up his price for other teams.

Sadly yes, we function as leverage.

 

[daves]

I would bet money he goes to the Raiders

Would be interesting to have both Harbaugh brothers in the same division! But, would he want that?

 

[daves]

And Reid was a lot younger when the Chiefs hired him than what Harbaugh is today.

Reid was an unhealthy 55, while Harbaugh is a seemingly fit 63... not that big of a difference, methinks.

 

[JosiahLee]

I hate to admit it but this hits hard and true.

It isn’t meant to be an insult to the Cards as much as it is praise for the other 3 guys…Why can’t we play in the NFC South!

 

[outcent13]

I’m not sure how much strength of conference is a big deal to a guy like Harbaugh. That title changes divisions almost every year anyways.

Edit: to me that would be a bigger concern if I was first time coach
