Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross has traveled to the West Coast in an urgent effort to convince Stanford's Jim Harbaugh to become his next coach, according to two sources.

Ross was accompanied by general manager Jeff Ireland and former NFL executive Carl Peterson to make the pitch to Harbaugh to replace Tony Sparano as the team's head coach, the sources said. Ross is willing to make Harbaugh the highest-paid coach in the NFL, which would place his salary in the $7-to-$8-million range, the sources said, after receiving a signal from the Stanford coach that he was now willing to listen seriously to the team's presentation

Highest paid coach in the NFL!!! Wow

This gonna be good

[PantherFan52]

Sorry but paying a coach that has never coached a game in the NFL that kind of money is just dumb.

[Darth Waya]

Highest paid in the NFL without so much as running 1 NFL practice as even a coordinator?

I'm gonna go with no.

I'd like Harbaugh, but that's fricking insane.

This guy will reinvigorate fanbases, he knows it.

That's why you see teams offering to shell out this much

[Pox 08]

How desperate are the 49ers when it comes to fan approval? No way is Harbaugh worth that. Not even close.

Coaches salary don't count against the cap. I say get the best guys you can and pay them whatever you have to.

And that why we never contacted Harbaugh, and if thats it I am totally ok with it. He is gonna be the best thing since sliced bread or the biggest turd ever. Time will tell, but I wouldnt spend that kind of money for a college coach period.

[The_Cannon]

Wow he has epic fail written all over him, if for no reason other than the fact they are putting such extreme expectations on him.

[SCP]

Wow.

Stupidity never stops

I think we contacted him, but after hearing what he wanted via control and pay, I can't blame them for backing off.

I wanted him to coach here too, but that's too much to ask.

Hearing Dolphins offered Gurden $7M/ year and it was turned down - not that offer could be coming to Harbaugh. 49ers have been in $SM range

Looks like gruden was first choice.... Now they are about to go all in on JH.

Poor 49er fans.... they were sooo happy earlier, now Miami is about to come to their backyard and steal him at the last minute.
