Good. I don't want another college coach who's an unproven commodity in the NFL. The biggest part of college success is recruiting. Whole different ball of wax than coaching professionals. Harbaugh is likely going to want the same sort of giant guaranteed money deal Rhule got. f*** that. I don't care how many college games he's won.
all with Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick at QB...
I admittedly did not know that. Don't follow coaches closely.
It's definitely his ego and his insisting on being such a hands on owner (often a very very bad thing). We'd be going into the 2023 draft and Tepper would have opinions about who to take and Harbaugh wouldn't hesitate to call him a dumb f***ing idiot who has ran this team into the ground since he bought it and tell him to shut the f*ck up when it comes to running a successful football team. And like you said Tep's ego wouldn't be able to accept that. Egos are the exact reason the Niners got rid of Harbaugh, Trent Baalke and their owner couldn't handle him. The reality is, Harbaugh has a massive ego but with the results to back it up. Others with big egos like Baalke and Tepper are not able to back it up like Harbaugh but Harbaugh rubs people the wrong way. Tepper has a massive ego but in the football world he has zero track record of any success. He's a successful hedge fund guy which doesn't mean a damn thing in the NFL but he won't accept that as the owner of the team worth billions.
Pretty much the only thing that would get through to him would be a hit to the checkbook but the NFL is freaking lucrative I'm pretty sure he would make money playing to an empty stadium 9 times a year.
Yeah given the bullshit around the Rock Hill campus, I fully expect him actually trying to get the team to play in front of an empty stadium so he can threaten to move the team in order to get taxpayers to build him a new stadium, either in Charlotte or anywhere else.
Fitterer is an awful GM. How he still has a job is beyond me.
That is Pejorative Slured due to Ickey alone. He looked the part of franchise LT all year, an incredibly important piece for any championship team.
Cats dodged a bullet. I have zero faith in Harbaugh coming back to pro sports and learning how to coach pro athletes. Is actually not that good of a college coach TBH. His record in big games is very unimpressive.
