What are you talking about?? Tepper is the 2nd richest owner in the league and there is no CAP on what you can spend on coaches..

It's not rocket science. Irsay is worth almost 4 billion dollars. He has enough money to pay any coach anything he wants (as do probably all these guys). A coach's salary is not equal to the cost of a football team, for example. If they were bidding for another franchise or something of equivalent value, then Tepper wins. Some owners have money to buy multiple pro teams, but they all can pay a coach's salary. The only thing that separates the owners in bidding wars for coaches is the willing to overpay---or grossly overpay---for a coach's services, and the willingness to give potential coaches more control (sometimes unjustified authority). Tepper has shown the willingness to do both, which holds us in good stead (at least from the perspective of getting a premier coach) when it comes to these bidding wars.

You don't think Harbaugh would believe he can fix him?

Noooo!! I think Harbaugh is smart enough to see this a physical declineing QB and a team that trade assets to get him.. 

And our team he can pick his Qb and still has assets to work with..

Whoever wants to give more money and possibly cede more control. It's hyperbolic, but if Irsay decides to pay Harbaugh 50 mil per year (even if it's only for one year), I'd dare say that he's going to win the bidding war (if not lose his credibility). One thing neither one will be losing is their billions to hire a coach.

And again you think Tepper wouldn’t outbid Irsay for Harbaugh when he did it for Rhule??

Harbaugh wouldn't leave Michigan to coach the Panthers no matter how much Tepper offered him. People overestimate the attractiveness of this franchise to a coach like Harbaugh.  Hell you would be lucky to get one of these hot new up and comers to take the job. It may not be a matter of choosing whoever you want. It quite possibly could end up being whoever will take it.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
