Could we be going after Harbaugh again?

It's a delicate situation...but it's all moot if the wifey ain't on board..need to interview her first..

Just have to respect the process, let this coach prove he can motivate this team thru this adversity were going thru and then inquire...Harbaugh isn't gonna talk to anyone until his season is over so it's all good, just lets see how the team performs, it should tell us how they feel about their coach.

I can't believe (if this story holds any weight), that we have learned exactly jack **** from the last go-around.

One of the big reasons Miami couldn't land him last time, and maybe a big reason they will stand a chance if they try again -

Just setting yourself up for disappointment. The Harbaugh's love the WC love the bay area and have no connection to Miami. If you are thinking Ross as Michigan alum is the Key think again. JH has never had a good relationship with the school so that connection doesn't exists as well as the Ross conection. There is nothing magical that brings him to the team no tradition that isnt 40 years old, nothing.

Enough money will bring him.

Unfortuntely I have to agree with you. I would love to see Harbaugh as the next Dolphins head coach, but I think he will have many other opportunities to be a head coach for teams which will entice him more than the Miami head coaching position.

I too believe he and his wife prefer the west coast, but if he does decide to take a job on the east coast, it will probably be in a more high profile job with the Jets or Giants.

I would put put the chance at Harbaugh being the Dolphins next HC at less than 5%.

Agreed but if matched or even close he wont be in Miami. imo

Get it done Ross....you failed once before, don't strike out again, do whatever it takes, pay him 10 mil/yr, I mean you can clearly afford it, if he wants to fire everybody fine with me, he can wipe out the entire front office and scouting staff for all I care, I don't give a **** if he wants to let the front office receptionist go, just do it so you and your franchise can finally earn some respect in this league

I hope so, but he'll probably just stay in California for the Raiders.

But let's put it this way...

Last Super Bowl Appearance: Dolphins - 1984. Harbaugh - 2012
Last Conference Championship Appearance: Dolphins - 1992. Harbaugh - 2013
Last 12+ win season: Dolphins - 1990. Harbaugh - 2013.

I don't know why this conversation in particular causes a bunch of people to form pet opinions and treat it as fact.

No one has any ****ing clue if Harbaugh would be interested in the Dolphins job, affirmative or negative. We don't know if Ross screwed the pooch last go around. We don't know if the team is palatable to Harbaugh. We don't know what his inclinations are. We don't know if his wife is or isn't OK with moving.

I don't know why the "his WIFE doesn't want to move here" thing gets attached to players and coaches every other year since John Tait's wife got her consecrated undergarments in a bunch about coming to the Sodom and Gomorrah of the South.

i mean can we please fire the coach in charge this time before doing this. Could you imagine us losing out on Harbaugh again and having another press conference with a phoney extension?

I would laugh.

Can someone start a count on how many Harbaugh threads open up this week? :)

FWIW, Armando has been the only guy reporting this all month now. He has been acting as if Ross has zero'd in on Harbaugh and its already in the works on Ross's end.

All he is basing that on is the fact that Ross tried it a few years ago.

Everyone else is also saying we will seek Harbaugh, b/c of course we will, as will every other team with a vacancy. But dont buy this hype from Armando.

I bet Hickey, if he has any input at all, won't be willing to drop draft picks on a new coach.

No way, why would he come out here when he can drive a few miles down the road to Oakland and bring the Raiders back to prominence?

Plus the Raiders actually have fans at their games.

He's a Cali guy. Oakland is just a few miles away...easy decision..

It's my belief every new coach deserves four years, minimum, unless he loses the locker room.

Because its a message board and people can write their opinion in any form they wish as long as it's with in the TOS. just as it's your right to engage in the conversation or not. I see a ton of opinion i don't agree with on all sort of MBs but don't climb up on my high horse to tell others how they should post those opinions. So they sound like fact BFD.

Good lord. Another year of this for what possible purpose?

This is one of the best things I have read on this forum in a long time. Thanks!

Tannehill has improved every year.

7 wins, 8 wins, maybe 9 wins this year. Tanny maturing. We seem to be making incremental progress.
