Think about this...who did he say hasn't contacted Harbaugh?? He has other people within the organization to do that type of stuff for him

That is what Gantt is alluding to as well

From Twitter

"Said neither he nor Hurney had talked to Jim Harbaugh. I'll leave that at that."

but our seasons are over why is it still tampering?

well the season ended just two days ago.

plus you have to remember Harbaugh was preparing for a big bowl game with Stanford. I doubt that he would have entertained any interviews regarding coaching until Stanford's season was over anyways.

I still think they're going the assistant route, but to say Harbaugh has a 0% chance of coaching here isn't right.

Saying that they had would have essentially meant a confession to tampering.

I'm getting a sinking feeling that Richardson isn't in full control of what's going on there these days. What's worse, I'm not sure that's a bad thing :(

How is it tampering for an NFL team to contact a college coach?

Tampering only applies to an NFL team talking to a coach currently under contract with another NFL team.

You can't go outside the team for any coach while the season is still going.

The reason for it is equal access, meaning that teams aren't allowed to get a head start by firing their head coaches with a few weeks left. The league knows if that was allowed, everyone would do it.

Does it happen unofficially? Yes. The Panthers did it to get Capers and it cost them a draft pick (compensatory third rounder).

It's entirely possible we've had people in contact with Harbaugh prior to now, but it'd be pretty dumb to admit it in a press conference.

My personal read: We have interest, but negotiations haven't gone well. Likely because Harbaugh wants more control than they're willing to give.

hmm, Gantt has a perspective on it I didn't consider.

Morrison has college connection. JR did say it was he and Hurney that hadn't talked to him. But why the double speak if that is the case?? Just seems weird.

The season officially ended Sunday. Harbaugh was in Florida prepping for the game Sunday and Monday and wouldn't allow for outside interests to break in.

Thus, if we have indeed talked to Hargaugh, it pretty much had to happen before Sunday.

That's tampering. So you can choose to believe one of three things:

- It didn't happen.

- It happened, and Jerry knows but is denying it (as he must).

- It happened, and Jerry doesn't know about it.
