Jerry Richardson: "I have not thought about Jim Harbaugh as a head coach"

[CarolinaNCSU]

And who is to say Harbaugh won't start to suck and screw up next week, or next year? Tony freaking Sporano went 11-5 his first year. I'll say it again...TONY FREAKING SPORANO. Oh yeah, he inherited a team that just went 1-15, then went 11-5, 7-9, 7-9, and now this year.

You could also pull up a lot form people who thought it would be smart to keep Foxy on for the long-haul too! :eek:

I'll take people who missed the point for 1000, alex

Tony Sporano is a Hack and a proven failure.

The fact that he went 11-5 is the NFL equivalent of a strike of lightning.

If you never hear his name again (besides when he gets fired at the end of the year) don't be surprised.

Harbaugh inherited a good team, a good team that was tired of Singletary. The Panthers have a lot of deep problems that will take at least another off season to fix.

A good team that hadn't been above .500 since 2002? San Fran has talent for sure, as do we. Take Willis and Crabtree off their team right now and see if they keep winning those close games. My point about Sporano was just saying yeah Harbaugh looks solid right now, but things can go south in a hurry.

Harbaugh inherited crap and doesn't have a once in a lifetime draft pick at QB.

Wake up.

What did Josh McDaniels start out with? 6-0 iirc...

Look at our schedule v. the 49ers this year. End of conversation.

Gantt absolutely swore we had informal contact with Harbaugh. If you believe that he was considered. Obviously JR didn't believe it :p

[thunderraiden]

Yes, Jim Harbaugh is the best coach in football because he inherited a perennial underachieving team that has been irrelevant the last decade, and has the third weakest schedule in all of football.

I was going to point that out myself.

Harbaugh's probably going to have a great career as an NFL coach but that does not mean the Panthers would be 5-1 if he was here. Please stop throwing Rivera under the bus after 6 competitive games with a rookie QB and a 2-14 team - and bear in mind 4 of our games have been vs some of the best teams in the league.

I think the Lions are decent this year.

Just my opinion.

You're calling this way too early. Just my opinion.

[Happy Panther]

I agree.

5-1 is hardly decent.
