Todd McShay had a great reason why we shouldn't hire Harbaugh

[Sam Mills Fan]

Haven't seen this point made anywhere else so I thought I'd throw it out there. On the Mac Attack today, Todd McShay said that a Harbaugh/Luck package wouldn't work because he couldn't believe they would want to be tied together forever. Basically he thinks that Luck would want his own identity in the pros and try to get away from being linked to his dad and Harbaugh. Also, McShay said that other players on the team might be very resentful and wary of favoritism towards Luck because Harbaugh recruited him out of high school and was his college coach. For example, if you're Jimmy Clausen, do you really think you're going to be evaluated fairly by Harbaugh when the #1 pick is a guy he's known and taught since he went after him in high school?

Good points, and I can respect that.

[Mr. Scot]

Clausen already has his own reasons to be worried about Harbaugh being hired.

McShay makes a valid point though.

[Zcustom]

but, but, Harbaugh is our savior!!!!

[Kurb]

Indeed a Valid point.

I was thinking about such last night.

[The Saltman]

wow SMF bringing some optimism to the boards.

am I dreaming?

[TheRealDeal]

LOL at Jimmy being upset at favoritism.

Other than that, well said.

good point, very valid, but fug jimmy. Same guy who couldnt beat Matt Moore in training camp. I was thinking the same thing about not wanting to be tied together b/c if they failed that would be worse than failing alone

[Darth Biscuit]

I was thinking about this too, but kind of the reverse... what if we get Luck/Harbaugh and Luck was to lose out in the QB competition... Harbaugh may be reluctant to sit him and it would make for an awkward situation...

Having said that, I still want 'em though.

I've made this point like 5 times on the huddle and nobody listens to me.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!

Also consider this: at this point, how much more can luck learn from harbaugh? I would like luck to continue to broaden his skills and that comes from being exposed to more coaches.

[panther4life]

Very good point

[jtnc]

I was just thinking about how other Stanford players deal with Harbaugh's favoritism towards Luck.

[TheRealDeal]

I lowkey want Harbaugh more than Luck now I think.

I know man, I took your idea and then emailed McShay so he could sabotage you
