Jumbo Elliott @JumboElliott76
Little Birdie says coach Harbaugh eyeing Raiders & Giants.
living out in the bay area last decade  
Payasdaddy : 1/17/2022 5:11 pm : link
I was pretty sick of him. But i would not complain if he came here. probably learned some from last NFL stint and he did a pretty damn good job with the niners
doubt it would happen but would be a bigtime move
I'm not saying I love the personality  
j_rud : 1/17/2022 5:16 pm : link
but name someone available who is more qualified. Aside from his actual W/L record, which is exceptional, he took two historically significant but floundering teams and returned them to prominence. He's literally already done this job. Although you could also argue that this would be his biggest challenge yet.
He’s just trying to get a raise

AcidTest : 1/17/2022 5:20 pm : link
thanks. I assume we'd have to buy him out from Michigan, and then pay him a ton of money to become our coach. The cost isn't worth it. Get someone who is in the league right now.

Who cares about the money? It doesn't impact the cap.
I would prefer an experienced HC  
larryflower37 : 1/17/2022 5:22 pm : link
Jim Harbaugh would be a huge get.
44 -19 in 4 yrs with 2 championship games and an SB. If he is interested you go fully in on him. He just needs a GM he can work with.

Why do you care about Maras wallet?
Hortiz/Harbaugh combo could work nicely  
TheWalrus : 1/17/2022 5:22 pm : link
Harbaugh can be a little annoying but hard to argue with his results.

Vic Fangio could be his defensive coordinator which would be a home run hire.
They can “eye” all they want,

I am sure glad that the Giants

finally hired a GM and he delegated choosing the HC to BBI

Totally agree. That's the ulterior motive here.
I don't think he needs to do this to get a raise

pretty sure he just got a new contract before this past year
Wherever Harbaugh goes  
Capt. Don : 1/17/2022 5:34 pm : link
it makes the GM less important. Personally, I like solid boundaries between the roles of the GM and Coach.

With Harbaugh, I see him blurring those boundaries.

Harbaugh gave money back last year. I'm not sure if the university asked, or he did it as an act of goodwill and commitment, but maybe he wants to claw that back. And then some after a very good year.
I would sign up for that.

Agree with everything you say
Just my 2 cents

I don’t believe for a second that Harbaugh is interested in the NYG. I think it’s all about the Benjamin’s and Michigan

Of course not but you have to admit that there are countless threads out there suggesting different HCs before we even select a GM. Easy does it big guy

He is by far the most accomplished potential HC  
PatersonPlank : 1/17/2022 6:03 pm : link
He has a career record of something like 163-70, including a great NFL record as pointed out above. He has won everywhere he went, San Diego U, Stanford, SF, and Michigan.

After a few years may he get sideways with management for saying stupid things, sure. But I don't care, he'd get us turned around in the meantime. He is the one guy out there who has shown he can turn a team around.
Mayock just fired  
Jimmycal : 1/17/2022 6:04 pm : link
Maybe Harbaugh gets GM/HC role there
I hope

Yeah, why would we want a guy who went 44-19 with crappy QBs and went to 3 NFC Championship games and a Super Bowl in 4 years. Not to mention if he brings Fangio with him

Raiders just fired their GM, wouldnt be suprised if this tandem gets hired there.

I know, but the Giants have to pay Judge $15 million and are still apparently paying Shurmur. I'd also be concerned that it would become a circus.
The Maras got the money

and they should give him what he wants
He doesn’t fit with the Giants  
trueblueinpw : 1/17/2022 6:52 pm : link
And I think both the Giants and Harbaugh know this is the case. I wouldn’t let him get in the way of the guys that do fit.

How doesn't he fit? The new GM is hiring him, so there would be no issues there. 44-19 with 3 title games in 4 years with lousy QBs fits
Jordan Raanan chimes in  
bigblue12 : 1/17/2022 7:46 pm : link
Definitely something to monitor depending on the GM…

Ditto Brian Flores
Id be shocked

seriously, it's one line on Mara's tax return...
Harbaugh to the Raiders makes much more sense with no GM in place

Would love to see Harbaugh in Giants blue. He’s the hero Gotham needs right now after rolling through three guys unfit for duty.

It's as if people do not realize that the Giants turn a $140mil profit every year (except 2020) even with the shitty product on the field. 168mil profit in 2019.

Paying Harbaugh 2 or 3 mil than another candidate is hardly a dent in Mara/Tisch's bottomline.
Who cares if we have to buy him out and  
Bleedblue10 : 1/17/2022 11:43 pm : link
Pay him a ton of money? I never u sees food why people care so much. Is it your money? John Mara and Steve roach are billionaires. Buying him out and giving him a huge contract isn’t even a blip on their bank accounts

Section331 : 1/18/2022 8:51 am : link
more money out of UM, I think he wants back in to the NFL. He's gone as far as he can go at Mich, and I've always thought he was better suited for the NFL. I just don't see the Mara's going for that, but if the new GM pushes for it...
