report: Jets and Raiders looking to trade for Harbaugh

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

there were rumors that we had reps waiting in the tunnel after the orange bowl and harbaugh just ignored us

 

the press conference debacle might have just been terrible damage control for that

[X-Clown]

why would we give draft picks for a coach that a team is desperate to get rid of.

 

Did anyone in this thread suggest that?

[blackcat]

Could we trade Rivera?  Seriously?

Few if any remember, but Gantt actually wasn't the only one who reported that we went after Harbaugh,

 

Tim Kawakami, a  Bay area reporter, also said at the time that we were trying for him.  Kawakami reported that he '"wasn't returning our calls".

 

I've long believed that we made overtures which were rejected, then pretended it never happened to save face.

You think somebody'd take him at this point?

[Jeremy Igo]

Lol no. If Rivera is fired he won't be a head coach again in his career.

ok so i'm reading up on this and the nfl seems to have put a stop to trading picks for coaches after the 2002 season and the gruden thing

 

so... what could a team conceivably trade for a coach?  just cash?

I remember them stopping it, but also vaguely remember allowing it again.

 

At this point, I'm honestly not sure (and don't feel like looking it up)

No they didn't, Herm Edwards got traded to the Chiefs in 2006. Jets got a 4th round pick for him (turned into Leon Washington). Using this scale Jim would fetch at least a 1st and a 3rd. 

[FootballMaestro]

Can the Panthers trade Rivera away; no matter how they get in return???

[Kurb]

He is a great coach, but would be a horrible fit for this Front Office.

I have a few close connections that were on the Stanford side now with Nevada and still with Stanford who mentioned this.

 

 

A lot of guys tied to our later Capers year staff and roster have a poor taste in their mouth with the organization/JR and vice versa.

Rivera will be here next season. We should all come to terms with that.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.
