Trade Manning For Jim Harbaugh?

[Flash7]

This is purely just for kicks, but what if Jim Irsay hasn't canned Caldwell yet because our next head coach is still in the play-offs? Once harbaugh and the Niners are out of the playoffs, Jim Irsay proposes a trade of Peyton Manning to the Niners for Jim Harbaugh. Yes, a player for a coach.

The Niners would get their missing piece of the puzzle for a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl and we would get a coach that has played for the Colts and has now proven that he can take a losing team to the playoffs. And of course, Jim harbaugh would coach Andrew Luck, who already has a head start running his system.

Okay, keep in mind this is just for fun....and now let me have it.

I love Harbaugh as much as anyone, but he's a bit old to be playing QB isn't he?

Sadly Caldwell will not be fired, Irsay is just letting time go by, so the fans cool down,the yes man will be retained.

Can he bring Patrick Willis and Frank Gore with him....?

[shakedownstreet]

aren't there any other harbaugh brothers! i'm pretty sure there is a winthrop harbaugh. lets get him!

[SilentHill]

I'd be more willing to trade Curtis Painter... let's offer that first.

[colts_mp]

What does Irsay say when Harbaugh wants to bring Vic Fangio with him?

We'd get a Harbaugh shoe string if that is what we offered. Maybe if we played hardball we could get a crinkled up gatorade cup.

Too bad Harbaugh didn 't wait for a year to jump to the pros. I always liked him and I was impressed with what he did at Stanford. To get Harbaugh and Luck at the same time and possibly still have Manning for a couple of years would have been great.

But I think we will need to look elsewhere. I don't think Harbaugh would leave on his own and I don't think the 49ers would be willing to trade him for anything right now.

The Harbaugh family has shiny, new contracts and are not going anywhere. While I am aware that this thread is just for fun, there are people on here who seriously think we could get one of them.

Technically u can in sense that Robert Kraft gave up a 1st round draft pick for Belichick, <<< That worked out well for him

Personally I never would trade a healthy Manning

Tom Creen is a brother in law? Maybe we can hire him away from IU...joking of course...

[WSO]

Luck and Harbaugh would be real nice

Teams have traded draft picks for coaches. I don't think there's ever been a player traded for a coach. That would really be something.

[JCPatriot]

If the Colts wanted Harbaugh, the time to nab him would have been right after Dungy retired. He had not jumped to the pros yet and might have accepted an offer from the Colts.....unless that bridge has been burned beyond repair. Irsay and the Colts did kick Harbaugh to the curb to draft Manning. He might not want anything to do with Indy at this point.

Since we're just talking for fun, though, how weird would it have been if Harbaugh had ended up coaching the QB that replaced him.......or if Indy ended up trading the QB that they drafted to replace Harbaugh to get Harbaugh back?

I believe Jaric was making a joke.

I believe Jaric was making a joke.

And it made me laugh.

[unitaswestand]

I want to trade Peyton for Jeff George

[bigunjohn]

Maybe Harbaugh could do with Painter what he did with Alex Smith!!! We could loan them Painter for a year....or 2....or 3

And it made me laugh.

me as well.
