Who wants Urban Meyer as coach?

[mav1234]

He's coming to Carolina. I hear he has already reached out to Carruth and Jarrett

come on, about the only thing those two share in common is a position.

well, that and letting coaches, fans, etc down big time... but the levels of that are vastly different between the two.

do not want Meyer. Do not mind Harbaugh. Dont know why people think he thinks he isn't ready.

[DirtyMagic97]

No to Urban. He's a great college coach, and that is all.

[David Duke Is a Bad Person]

Urban Meyer is not better than John Fox.

[Chaos]

He's going to do Oprah? WTF?

[Carolinator]

The answer should be something like "college coaches don't make it in the NFL", "NFW", "Not Gonna Happen", etc.

But then I read all these threads on how Harbaugh is going to come in with a rookie and save this franchise.

So I expect lots of excitement after Meyer resigns and does Oprah..

college coaches don't make it in the nfl

NFW

Not gonna happen

[TheRealDeal]

Most of the people, OP included for sure, that don't want Harbaugh feel this way solely because they are Clausen fanboys and don't want to see Luck boot him out of a job.

Try and at least pretend you are a fan of the franchise next time.

Jim Harbaugh is not ready to lead an NFL team.

I'm sorry, he's not. He knows it. The scary thing is how many people don't.

And this belief is based on what?

I don't know what kind of NFL HC Jim Harbaugh would be, but I know what kind of NFL HC his brother is and that seems to be working out pretty darn well for the Ravens.

It's true that just because John is a good HC doesn't mean Jim would be, but since they are brothers you have to consider John's success as a factor when evaluating Jim.

Ever heard of Frank Stallone?

Ever heard of Frank Stallone?

Yup... and he was as lousy of an actor as his brother, just didn't have the looks (no homo).

Could be something to it........they did draft two spread QBs this year......one disguised as a sorry wr........yall haters would all fall over with embarrassment

Amazing. You are advocating a guy with zero NFL coaching experience (i.e., less than Mike Singletary) to take over an NFL team after a few good seasons at an academic school in the weakest major division in college football.

Harbaugh's entire pedigree... intense discipline...scholar-athletes...zero scheme... has absolutely no place in the NFL.

The fact that people like you can't see that makes you who you are.

Urban Meyer has accomplished 10x more than Harbaugh and he isn't fit for the NFL but Harbaugh is because he played in the NFL. Classic.

And who brought up Andrew Luck aka the rookie who would have led the Panthers to the superbowl this year.

Putting aside the fact that most family affairs in coaching (for every Ryan there is a Shula) lightning doesn't strike twice.

Think about it this way. Why was John in college in the first place if he wanted to coach in the NFL? The answer is that he knew he would be more successful there. Having a few good years coaching the smartest kids in football does not prepare you with how to handle Vince Young type players or Bill Belicheck's scheme. The NFL is a business and it's been proven time and time again that college coaches do not transition well at all.

I guess I just find it funny that so many people think the solution for the Panthers is to bring in a green coach and a green quarterback. I have no problems if Harbaugh ends up in Carolina but can think of a host of other coaches I would rather have and all of them are currently in the NFL. I could see bringing in Luck but Harbaugh = big mistake.

Your post is so full of fail.

And who brought up Andrew Luck aka the rookie who would have led the Panthers to the superbowl this year.

Looks like you brought up "Andrew Luck aka the rookie"

It's not about what they accomplished in college it's how they accomplished it. Harbough took a bunch of nerds and made them contenders. Meyer took a bunch of athletic freaks and just let them be using an offense that has zero chance of working in the NFL because it is based on having better, quicker athletes than your opponent which doesn't happen in the NFL.

Pac10 worst among major conferences is laughable. Now I know you just watch ESPN for all your sports news and cannot formulate an opinion for yourself. You probably still believe Jimmy was the most NFL ready QB in the draft :rofl:

[mav1234]

First of all, the points you raise are why I don't think Harbaugh is as hot a commodity as some fans think, but he WILL get some serious looks and will have a job if he wants one, be it as a coordinator or even very likely as a head coach. I do not, for instance, think he can walk into any FO in the country and demand to be the highest paid coach in the league and get it like some believe he will here.

That being said, he's got a lot of what a team like the Panthers want. He has a history in the NFL, he's known to be a good coach, isn't a strict "my system" guy, and is young. He's taken a team and clearly coached them up. This is not meant to be a knock on his guys, because he does have a decent amount of talent, but let's be realistic about the level of player Stanford brings in compared (in this case) to Florida.

He is also missing some of what the Panthers want, which is why I would not be surprised if they go to someone else.
