stevegrab Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Wonder if that means Harbaugh would get significant input on the GM since they need to fill that spot too. And teams don't bring in coaches of this caliber (or at least name recognition) without planning to give them a key role in personnel decisions.

rajncajn Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 That would mean that both the teams from the the College Football National Championship and 3 of the 4 in the playoffs will have new head coaches next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 So Harbaugh isn't the Chargers coach yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know the source of the rumor "it is likely with an announcement coming on Thursday". That is why I like when people give a source for the info. Because then when the source provides BS we can discount them the next time. Not ripping on Irish, just wonder who made it sound so likely.

irish Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Mike Garafolo From The Insiders on #NFLPlus and @nflnetwork: The #Chargers and Jim Harbaugh are now in striking distance of getting a deal done as Harbaugh is in LA today for another meeting with the team.

stevegrab Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Any minute now...... Sorry it is just funny how these rumors go, a google search shows headlines touting "striking distance" and being in LA Tuesday (that is yesterday) to sign a deal, that was reported 20 hours ago. Those reports were saying a contract could be signed as early as today, again just a reminder that was YESTERDAY. I also read he could bring his Michigan staff with him, that seems odd, maybe it has something to do with suspensions they might face for infractions by the team. I am not saying he won't be the Chargers coach, but this thread started a week ago, and the announcement was imminent at that time. Good luck unseating the Chiefs as the leader of the AFCW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes things don't happen on the time-line you want. You know owners do their due diligence to consider all options. So, maybe them coming to terms with signing Harbaugh took a week. Maybe they don't sign him at all and go in a different direction. Does that mean we don't discuss it until it actually happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean we don't discuss it until it actually happens? Did I say it cannot be discussed? Pretty sure there have been a lot of posts discussing it since you first posted it. Even my last post you quoted had discussion of what might happen if he gets the job (taking some of his Michigan staff with him which was removed from the quote). I just find it humorous when the updates are a week after the initial report and still talking about something being "imminent". Maybe people should just report the facts instead of the constant speculation about a timeline that they clearly don't have the details of. "Chargers are interviewing Jim Harbaugh and may sign him soon." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Here is some actual news, regarding this. Jim is still in LA meeting with the Chargers, despite a planned visit today with the Falcons. That meeting could still happen at a later time. If he leaves LA without a deal maybe it wasn't that close. https://nfltraderumors.co/jim-harbaugh-has-falcons-interview-scheduled-today-but-still-in-los-angeles/ I also saw another article mentioning he had his wife with him in LA for this last interview. Not sure how much that means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added bonus being he won't be going to Atlanta. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
