Adoni Beast Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It’s not like Michigan has been a joke. They’ve had a few 10 win seasons under Harbaugh. The problem is that Michigan and its fan base still thinks they’re right up there with OSU, along with the rest of the Big 10 was second rate until Urban came along. Coach Day happens to be a great successor off of that foundation that Meyer created but no one wants to go to the Big 10 anymore. Say what you will about Harbaugh. There have been 0 scandals and his kids graduate, which is part of the job for coaches in college. He’s a program builder for the NFL way and the college way. I just think he’s better suited for the pros. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I don’t know if Harbaugh would be a good coach for the jets or not. I will point out that the table was set when he joined the niners. They had some really good players after suffering through a number of bad seasons and high draft picks. I don’t think the jets table is nearly as well set unless darnold can somehow be the QB or Lawrence is drafted. Also, can Harbaugh have success without using the pistol type offense? I’m thinking yes since he also had some success with smith before moving on to Kaepernick. We’ll see. If gase is replaced I’d want the next coach to be young enough and someone who has nfl experience. The jets need someone who can take charge and already has a ton of credibility.

The cycle of unproven coordinators and proven failures like Gase needs to end. I want Lawrence paired with someone who has actually done something in this league. Great post.

68JET11 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Harbough worries me... When he left SF for Michigan, I said to myself, watch out that program is going to become elite. He should be able to recruit there like nobodies business... He has so disappointed there it's not funny. Why wouldn't top recruits want to flock there when he was hired, I'll never know, and while he has won, he hasn't been what I expected. I think he would be a trainwreck for our team, while knowing he would be heads and shoulders better than Gase. For me, I want someone that wants to commit to this team, that is a team builder and can work with our GM. I'm not dead set again Harbough, I just don't want him here because I think it won't last and he'll turn into a sour patch kid or something after he hasn't gotten his way. I could be wrong and if he's hired here I hope I am, but there's no way of actually knowing that. If he can display his brothers disposition it would be another completely different story. I'd be standing in line welcoming him with open arms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much worse could we be under Harbaugh. He has a pedigree like no other. Great college player, NFL Player, paid his dues in coaching. But some want another rookie HC? Inthink Harbaugh is too good for the Johnsons. They won’t hire him because he won’t listen to their SHlT!!!!! The biggest risk is that he tells us to shove off. I think some of the negative reactions to hiring him are coming from our well-founded cynicism that a guy with his pedigree would ever come here with Woody at the helm. If we convince ourselves we don't want him, it will hurt less when he says he doesn't want us. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JustInFudge Posted November 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2020 Just a few points to make about Harbaugh because personally, I think the negativity toward him at Michigan is way over blown. He's been more successful at Michigan than he was at Stanford. 2 losing seasons, followed by 8-5, followed by 12-1 when Andrew Luck basically showed the world he was the next best since Peyton. 2 bowl games. Brady Hoke was 5-7, in Harbaugh first year after taking over, they won 10 games and have been to a bowl game every year. His 2 worst seasons, they won 8/9 games. He's had them ranked in the top 10, every single year he's been at Michigan. The only reason he's considered a failure at Michigan is because he cant beat OSU. Does anyone even really care about this season? The Big 10 is going to play 6 games. lol Covid is King of the NCAA. Kind of a stupid year to judge any coach, if you ask me. All that said, it doesnt shock me that he's not a great recruiter. He's weird as sh*t and people didnt know this side of him until the NFL exposure. I just cant imagine, Jim Harbaugh visiting your house and it not being totally ******* awkward. Would anyone as a parent trust their 17 year old with a total ******* odd bird like Jim? I think his personality is better suited for the NFL. You dont need personality to win in the NFL. You absolutely do in the NCAA unless you're legendary status like Saban ad Meyer. Otherwise, the competition for talent is too steep and it's not a level playing field. Harbaugh doesnt have the dynamic personality to win kids over and he doesnt have the success to overlook that aspect of his personality. I'd welcome Jim Harbaugh with open arms to coach the Jets. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Harbaugh did not call his own plays. Who called the plays? Greg Roman. They didn't have such a great offense though. That team was riding Vic Fangio's defense. This is my concern with Harbough - he will need very good coordinators and im not sure what he has now will translate. Don Brown is pretty old and plays a very aggressive 3-4 defense that will require excellent corners since he brings a lot of pressure. His OC has 2 years experience with Harbough at Michigan and comes from Alabama but together they have struggled to develop QBs and I dont know much about the type of offense they run. One name Id love to see, and i have no idea if Harbough has any connection to him is Matt Canada, who is the QB coach for the steelers. Has college HC and OC experience and uses a lot of motion etc which will be key for a young QB here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayRay Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hargbaugh was fired by the 49ers because he didn't play nice with the front office. That's a consideration, considering front office disruptions are the last thing the Jets need. Plus there are a lot of other good candidates out there without that kind of baggage. But I'd I'd certainly take Harbaugh over Eric Bieniemy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that he did it with two QB’s one of which was considered a bust before he joined him and another that busted as soon as he left. Lastly, if we make the right choices he’ll be set up here. 4 1st round picks in two years, massive cap space. A franchise LT and the best QB prospect in over a decade. There is simply no safer bet we’ll find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also cost himself a chance to go to a SB by sending a punt returner out there who had a concussion and couldn't make a fair catch, and his team should have beat the Ravens except for some poor play calls at the end of the SB. He'd be the best coaching hire for the team since the 90s, I don't see how anyone could argue that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he is losing out in the premium-dynamic position players. Meyer has created a juggernaut recruiting program at OSU. Despite his success at Stanford, I don’t believe Harbaugh is suited in college to compete on the recruiting level with the top programs. He, himself as a person is borderline psychotic. He rubs people and I imagine a lot of parents the wrong way during the recruiting pitch in their living rooms. I think parents are more inclined to send their kids to a more a program run by a more conservative individual. But Harbaugh is all football, all about winning. His exit from the NFL was because of a rift with ownership, not because he couldn’t coach. I just don’t think recruiting kids is Harbaugh’s strength.

They’ve never been a top tier program since I went there in early 2000s. I definitely don’t feel this way. Also never saw them as an ivy either. Granted I went there for law school not undergrad so maybe that skews things. Funny story, a few years after graduating I was head of recruiting for my company for Michigan—flew up there every year to interview candidates. Always hung around and caught a game. Well anyway, first year going they gave me the recruiting pack—including prior candidate evals—including my own. The review basically said “he was okay I guess but our instructions are to offer a flight to philly for an in-person interview to anyone interested from Michigan.” Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
