Harbaugh not returning our calls?

[Mr. Scot]

With the GM out of the way, I'd bet Harbaugh signs their dotted line too...

They still have to do their Rooney interview though.

[Happy Panther]

They were asked if they had contact with Harbaugh...having contact with his agent is not having contact with the coach. Easy way to sideskirt the question "truefully".

Agents are also widely know as being "sources" to reporters (whether for good OR bad agenda).

JR didn't say it in passing. he made a huge dog and pony show with the newspaper in front of him...putting his glasses on to read it...to demonstrate how the Panthers had not been in contact with Harbaugh...how the Observer was dead wrong

If it comes out later that we had been in contact with Harbaugh then JR is a big fat LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

[Mr. Scot]

lol there is no way that we haven't at least spoken to his agent IF we are at all interested.

If we're making calls that he's not returning, we're interested.

(not that it matters, at this point)

[Spaceballs83]

why don't teams like coaches to have full control? I know it's a dumb question, but just wondering.

[Happy Panther]

Something smells around here.

besides my arse

They were granted permission by the Raiders to interview Jackson. Wouldn't be surprised if they have it tomorrow morning, not like they need to fly him in cross country or anything like that.

that's what I mean. people are acting as if Harbaugh is pretending we don't exist and not even entertaining an offer.

if the Panthers are interested; they've spoken to someone.

[Dpantherman]

No, I think is your arse

[Chaos]

Based on some stuff I've read it sounds like Harbaugh wants full control over personnel and that's not something the Panthers are going to give him.

Wait a minute here. If Marty Hurney is leading the coaching search (that sounded like what Jerry said today), and Marty is in charge of player personnel decisions, then wouldn't a coach wanting player personnel control...I don't know...maybe put him out of a job?

Just thinking on the keyboard.

I think he did. I just also don't happen to have a big problem with it.

Fans don't have a right to know everything that goes on behind closed doors.

Would we bend the rules? We have before, but so does every other team in this regard. Teague lets it happen, so big deal.

checks and balances are typically a good thing.

I'm not sure I understand all the assumption of Harbaugh being this great NFL coach and ignoring any other possibilities?

My thought too.

It's too big a job.

More than one guy has tried wearing both hats. They all failed.

TEH HARBUAGH GBRINGS LUCKZ OMG!!

also, he's pretty fiery and the total opposite of Fox in many, many ways.

Which is also a good indication of why we won't end up with him. For all of Fox's faults, there was a lot about him the FO was fond of.
