What are the realistic chances of Jim Harbaugh

SoZKillA : 10/19/2014 10:45 pm
Being our next HC should Coughlin retire or get fired ?
No...

8-10 million a year I don't think their offer would be competitive even if they were to make one.

does eli and the bunch unlearn this new offense after the year as well?

Eli may have to learn a new offense anyway.

I confess I had the same thought. I don't see a guy out there who is the kind of slam dunk that TC was, a guy who had Giants ties and had success elsewhere. Romeo Crennel, Mike Sullivan and Spags have kind of fizzled. I don't see Jason Garrett, Sean Payton, John Fox leaving their current jobs. Or Little Bill, of course.

I think they're going to have to go outside the "family" to get the next HC.

But y'know, Spags might be worth the gamble. He looks to me like one of those guys (like Little Bill, Pete Carroll and others) who does better as a HC the second time.
All you need to know about..

Harbaugh is that he's been wildly successful in SF and they want to get rid of him.

You really want a jackass like him patrolling the sidelines at MetLife? He's more of a Jets type of guy.

That would really suck  
Hammer : 10/20/2014 6:51 am : link
Harbaugh is a world class jerkoff.

Even I can't hold a candle to him and, in that regard, I'm pretty accomplished.
No.  
SanFranGiantsFan : 10/20/2014 6:52 am : link
Just no.
No thank you ...  
River Mike : 10/20/2014 7:06 am : link
no.

After three years here, coughlin while not wildy successful, was sucessful, he made the playoffs 2 times and their were plenty of people in the Giants organization who wanted to get rid of him, including Ernie. Coughlin was frozen out for a couple days while they debated his future after 06 season. And a lot of that had to do with his personality.
There were not..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 10/20/2014 7:18 am : link
a lot of people who have ever wanted to get rid of Coughlin outside of fans.

Stop with the fabrications.

Read "The GM" by Ernie Accorsi  
Essex : 10/20/2014 7:41 am : link
And if you say there were not meetings after 06 season to discuss Coughlin's future, you are lying. The whole leadership council derived from there.
How could anyone want that dickhead  
BillT : 10/20/2014 8:00 am : link
To coach the Giants. Shows just why TC should be kept.
For there to be realistic chances  
Giantology : 10/20/2014 8:12 am : link
You'd have to be giving us a realistic scenario.

The Giants hiring Jim "I want my cake and I want it now" Harbaugh is a very unrealistic scenario.

Feel free to react now as Jim would.





He will be  
natefit : 10/20/2014 8:13 am : link
at my U of M where he belongs. Go Blue!
As long as this team keeps spinning it's wheels  
blueblood'11 : 10/20/2014 8:14 am : link
Tom may not be back. His two best years in my opinion were 2007 and 2008. And 2007 was really a watershed year because people were calling for his head. They sneaked into the playoffs and the rest was history.

I believe they would have won again in 2008 but the Plaxico fiasco really undermined what really looked to be an unstoppable snowball rolling downhill. No one was beating that team. They had it all going in the right direction until the train jumped the tracks.

2011 I believe the offense was solid as ever but they won in spite of a defense that Perry Fewell put into place. If not for the pass rush they don't make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. Tom has had a good run but since 2011 this team has not moved forward. They are spinning their wheels. Then again under Tom that seems to have been the case also in those years he led them to the Super Bowl.

these kind of psychopathic bully types  
Moondwg : 10/20/2014 8:19 am : link
tend to thrive in college football.
Again this is no knock on TC  
Essex : 10/20/2014 8:21 am : link
but those gifs of Harbaugh, you could find similar ones in losing your control of TC on the sideline in the first three years here. I really don't have much of an opinion one way or the other whether Coughlin should stay or go. He has been a good coach; if he stays great, if we find a new direction well I won't say great because there are definite risks involved, but I can live with it. What I am saying, and what I believe, is that the people who are saying what a jackass Harbaugh "appears" to be based on some of his antics and his ability to get along with the players are conveniently forgetting some of TC's history. Maybe TC does not have the baby antics Harbaugh had, but he definitely had the inability to get along with the player and histrionics on the sideline.
I will say this much  
Greg from LI : 10/20/2014 8:26 am : link
Bill Belichick was pretty much a disaster in his first go-round as a head coach. If Harbaugh can learn from his tenure in SF and figure out how to keep his emotions in check, he clearly has the coaching chops to win.

Now, that said, I don't think there's a chance in hell the Giants would ever be interested in him, and I don't know that Harbaugh could make those kinds of changes. I agree that he seems much more suited for college football.
yeah dismiss  
bc4life : 10/20/2014 9:07 am : link
Harbaugh because of the way he acts on the sidelines - that has a lot to do with winning football games.
As much  
WestCoastGiant56 : 10/20/2014 9:10 am : link
as I may not like his personality, Harbaugh is a top 5 coach. He should definitely be on the short list if the stars ever aligned.

exactly, the man has reached 3 straight NFC title games in his first three years in the league. And, he did it with a team dead for years, I think the Niners last made the playoffs 5 or 6 years before he got there. Besides Bellichick, I would take Harbaugh to be my coach over any other in the game. And, yes I do realize our coach beat him in his building in the NFC title game. But we had Eli Manning at QB, they had Alex Smith.
as Natefit said  
NNJ Tom : 10/20/2014 9:15 am : link
they are already measuring him for wolverine gear.

His act plays better in college than the pros.
I was at Super Bowl 47  
Go Terps : 10/20/2014 9:17 am : link
Seated at the end zone where the game was decided. I have never seen a more gutless series of play calls than the ones Harbaugh's team made with the Super Bowl on the line. He was running down the sideline signaling for defensive holding when the ball was snapped on fourth down.

He wanted the refs to give him the Super Bowl...I don't want that guy as my head coach.
i will make it to three straight title games  
Essex : 10/20/2014 9:18 am : link
and take my chances despite his whining.
Essex  
bc4life : 10/20/2014 9:19 am : link
Yes and that game could have gone either way.

People step right over the fact he's been one play away from appearing in 3 straight SBs. (*The fumbled punt and Kapaernik's ill-advised throw).

the lack of respect  
bc4life : 10/20/2014 9:21 am : link
for Harbaugh's accomplishments is baffling to me.
I'm pretty sure..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 10/20/2014 9:35 am : link
if TC made three straight deep playoff runs without a title, the reactionary jackasses on BBI would start calling for his head, just as they tend to not have much respect for the rwo Super Bowl wins.

It is almost like we create an atmosphere of unlikely expectations. A work of impossibility or FICTION.

Fiction, much like Accorsi's "The GM".

you do know Ernie started as a sports journalist. He never forgot his roots....
hopefully none.

keep his whiny ass on the West Coast
So many people take the tone of "except for the super bowls" etc  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/20/2014 11:55 am : link
but if TC made the playoffs every year and never won it all a la andy reid, the same posters would be bitching and moaning about him being a terrible playoffs coach and wanting a change.
