Well, looking at the best teams currently in the NFL they seem to share one thing (other than KC)...great defense. Baltimore, Dallas, SF, Philly, and Cleveland. -
He lost a power struggle with the general manager, Trent Baalke, who ended up getting fired a few years later after he replaced Harbaugh with Jim Tomsula, who got fired after one year, and replaced Tomsula with Chip Kelly, who got fired after one year. This is why you allow Harbaugh to pick the general manager he wants to work with, as the Seahawks did with Pete Carroll.Originally posted by Fouts2herbert View PostComment

Are you seriously worried about what might happen if we win the afc west 3 straight times and maybe get a Super Bowl trophy?Originally posted by Fouts2herbert View PostComment

I agree about Baalke being the problem. However, I do think that it is interesting that there’s still tension between him and people in power, even if they go way back.Originally posted by DerwinBosa View Post
Manuel followed Ono's answer by mentioning, unprompted, the reported tension between him and Harbaugh. Michigan insider John U. Bacon reported in January 2023 that Harbaugh and Manuel had not spoken in months.
The fact that Ono broke the news on social media that Harbaugh would remain at Michigan for the 2023 season -- after speaking directly with Harbaugh -- rather than Manuel, who isn't on social media, amplified speculation about the Harbaugh-Manuel dynamic. Manuel and Harbaugh were teammates at Michigan in 1986 under Schembechler, when Harbaugh was a team captain and Manuel a freshman lineman. Although Manuel did not hire Harbaugh, the two remained in contact. Harbaugh interrupted Manuel's introductory news conference at Michigan by presenting him with a personalized Michigan football jersey with the No. 79, which Manuel had worn for the Wolverines.Comment

I'm not worried about power struggles against other hires, my concern is him butting heads with John Spanos, a HC like Harbaugh would mean a significant decrease in John's influence inside the FO...I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not worried about Jim, my concern remains and will continue to be the family...Originally posted by DerwinBosa View Post"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

Really nothing we can do about that. It will always be a concern, no matter who the head coach is.Originally posted by Fouts2herbert View PostComment

I loved this quote: "I've been around a lot of highly competitive people before," said Bowlsby, who led athletic departments at Northern Iowa and Iowa before Stanford. "But I don't know if I've been around anybody that's any more competitive than he is."
The former general manager of the Chicago Bears said the two most competitive players he's ever seen were Walter Payton and Jim Harbaugh.
Then there was the time he punched Jim Kelly.
And there was the time he and Jim Schwartz had an issue.
Harbaugh is exactly the type of guy I want us to take on the Chiefs (the most at this particular time), Raiders, and Broncos.

Can’t wait or him to knock Sean Payton out. And he’ll get another shot at Schwartz as we play the BrownsOriginally posted by DerwinBosa View Post
