JR to consider Harbaugh for Head Coach

[Future of the Funchise]

not gonna happen =\

[Mr. Scot]

From Steve Reed:

When asked if that precludes the Panthers from going after a college coach Hurney said, “I think when you go into the process you try to keep an open mind and you don't cross anything (off). Again, the last time that we did this we went the assistant coach route and I think that it worked well. We went from 1-15 and we were in the Super Bowl in two years.”

Owner Jerry Richardson, speaking to the media for the first time in almost three years and at is his first news conference setting in nine years, called a published report that he or Hurney had been in contact with Stanford's Jim Harbaugh for weeks completely false.

When asked if the team has an interest in Harbaugh specifically, owner Jerry Richardson said, "I'm sure it's a nice man, I'd be happy to talk to him. I have not thought about talking to him as a head coach.... But I would be nice and cordial to him if I saw him."

Panthers focus attention on hiring an NFL assistant as their next head coach

Makes it sound unlikely, but he doesn't really rule it out. Especially when you look at Hurney's comments.

I don't think it'll happen either, but the Observer (Person, Fowler and Sorenson specifically) aren't entirely accurate in saying he's slammed the door on the possibility.

That story is just full of fail, can't imagine why JR hates the media.

If he really hadn't considered talking to him until now, that's pretty dumb.

Agreed if he hasn't considered him, thats worse than the stupid article.

Except you didn't win the Super Bowl, had only three winning season in nine and just dumped that guy because he didn't get the job done. ARRRRGH
