The Harbaugh/Luck 'fit' would be the best I believe. With the young WRs we have now, developing them along with a QB who has all the tools would be something to watch, assuming all stayed relatively healthy. I think we'd see some wrinkles on special teams as well. But I won't be surprised if Harbaugh stays at Stanford, especially since he has apparently turned down Michigan. And, he'll be expensive, as will Luck if the new CBA being negotiated doesn't have the rookie pay scale that the owners are insisting on. If he stays at Stanford, my guess is Luck probably will as well, despite the fact that many of the pundits believe he won't gain anything NFL-wise by staying another year there. But if they stay, a national championship might be theirs. I guess we'll all know within the next few weeks at most. I believe all those who plan to declare for the NFL draft must do so within the next week or two.

Harbaugh is pretty much a lock for San Francisco at this point.

The unheard, undiscussed, uncommited mystery is...... Where is the chin going? Anybody notice that his name has not been mentioned by anyone? I know he does not require an interview, but you'd think that somebodies "sources" would be hinting at where he's headed.

Just a point to ponder - might some of these interviews be "lets get aquainted" meetings of some future coordinators?

In the presser today, they stated they're going with current assistants, no former coaches.

Cowher, Gruden, Billick...none of them have a shot.

(and in this case, I don't think they're hiding anything)

Cowher could still end up in Miami, assuming his list was "accurate."

I think Raiders will go with their OC because frankly I doubt they can get anyone more qualified.

SF goes Harbaugh...

Denver and us are still up in the air. I hope we get Rivera kinda but I am leery of all his interviews and no jobs.

Fox has a decent chance in Cleveland but we'll see...

What other jobs are there left? Pretty sure Dallas goes with Garrett, Titans, Bengals, Jags stay put... or am I wrong?

Hurney is pretty much focused on getting John Fox 2.0

Hope you guys are ready for more of the same.

Not necessarily in terms of conservative approach. Some signs point to the opposite.

In terms of the next great coach coming from coordinator ranks, yes.

Jackson taking over the Raiders makes sense to me too, but they did give him permission to interview elsewhere (49ers) so who knows?

Denver hiring Mularkey would make some sense.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
