Perhaps, on some level, but actual knowledge and skill makes all the difference. 

I'm sure that some of the best of all time are accused of being big assholes with big egos. The great ones also seem to have control.

Outside of Belichick, what full control coaches are dominating the NFL right now?

(hell, even Belichick isn't looking so good without Brady)

Got to wonder if JH really wants to come back to the NFL or if he and his agent are just jerking Mi around again for $$$$.

He is a complete mercenary and will go where ever pays him the most along with the required power and then turn around and do it all over again at the next opportunity. He is a good coach but that is by far his greatest skill IMO.

My guess would be some of the same folks who convinced themselves that Harbaugh was interested in the Panthers job above all others probably also thought Deshaun Watson was pining to be our quarterback and didn't want to play anywhere else.

Yep. We seem to be the team used for leverage. The actual target is never really interested in being here.

And both equal an automatic championship...I just don't see it myself.

I don't think we would be bad with Harbaugh, I just don't think he has it in him to win one at any level. It would be entertaining but not always the good kind. Meanwhile the Bronco's new owner is about to make himself a first time owner mistake and I hope Tepper is watching what that looks like from the outside.

Loser franchise now with Tepper at the helm. Probably sign Wilkes and be right back here in a year or too. This time we will be the ones begging. 

I completely agree. I like Wilks. Seems like a good guy and a decent coach...but we've had him as coach with Rivera and Fox. Time to move on.

If I had to guess I would say Harbaugh wants full control and to pick his GM. I don’t think Tepper wants to go down that road again. It makes sense with a proven coach like Harbaugh, but I’m more than ok with that being a deal breaker.
There is also a chance Fitt has been told he will get a chance to be an actual GM with Rhule gone. That probably isn’t possible with Harbaugh.

      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.
