Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 They could be pushing for him. Maybe they are just keeping it close. Because they don’t have to request permission from a nfl team maybe it hasn’t gotten out. I guess we will find out next week or so if anything comes out.

Ballard did say at his press conference that college coaches would potentially be interviewed. I imagine most assumed he was referring to Harbaugh (at least we know that’s who the reporter was alluding to). Don’t sleep on Ryan Day getting an interview if Harbaugh goes to Denver.

Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me but that doesn’t mean they are going to interview Harbaugh either. It just means they will look at the college ranks which isn’t shocking Ballard did that last time too. I am not big fan of bringing in college coaches unless it’s someone like Carol or Harbaugh who had previous NFL experience because most coaches jumping from college to the NFL struggle.

#12. Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Is there really some strong connection between Irsay and Harbaugh? Can't say I remember much, post '98, honestly. I guess Harbaugh attended his ring of honor ceremony, although I can't find a photo of it, and I do not see him at any subsequent ring of honor ceremonies. He's part owner of an Indy car and has spent some time at the track, perhaps he runs into Irsay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference is he’s on the wall of fame in the stadium. He is a revered former Colt. Not just a former player. If he had a great run here and won a super bowl he would probably have a statue at the stadium as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indyagent17 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Here are my thoughts, first of all going to Denver would put them in a hole. They gave away several draft picks for Wilson and of course he is not playing that well, and all the only thing keeping him from coming here in my opinion is that he could be frightened that Irsay might meddle. I certainly hope that our same one not rehire Saturday or Bubba. It’ll be interesting to hear all the speculation and rumors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found it funny how it was all stated around the same timeframe. But I guess what else can they say? At the very least it can give some hope for their fan base.

rockywoj Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 As most people know, reports are that Irsay recently hosted Harbaugh (and Luck). If Irsay is / was truly interested in having Harbaugh as coach, it is very difficult to imagine the two didn’t discuss this. Ergo, if the Colts have / had interest in Harbaugh, but no formal interview occurs, that tells me that one of the two parties expressed it ain’t going to happen. Hence, why there’d be no formal interview. So what I am getting at is regarding the comments that the Colts are moving too slowly, I think if they’re not moving it’s because they already know Harbaugh to Colts won’t happen or they’re truly not interested in getting Harbaugh. If they ARE interested and Harbaugh has not already rained on their parade, then there will be an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that tweet you just posted is typical, it's what happens before the two sides split, and I think the next thing that happens is Harbaugh's side starts negotiating buyout terms with Michigan. There's a lot of smoke, and Harbaugh's "commitments" to return to Michigan have been very noncommittal. Now he's linked strongly to Denver, interviewing there tomorrow I think? I feel like he's leaving, 90% right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very possible they had already discussed and had initial discussions a month ago when that was speculated. Basically that is what Denver is doing now with him. Maybe this thing with Michigan needs settled first. But what you said might also be true. I think if we don’t here something offibisl this week then maybe one side isn’t interested.

Difference between us and those 2 teams is we have the 4th pick so we can get a QB that is at least good + we have the best RB in football.

They would have no chance of winning that division with KC there. Denver has little draft capital and they don't even have a better roster or better QB than the Chargers have either. Why would Harbaugh want to go there? Only team in our division that is good right now is the Jags and they only went 9-8. I think Trevor is good but he has to show me 2 years in a row he can play at a high level before I go on some crazy rant saying the Jags rule. They barely beat the Titans Saturday who was playing a 3rd string QB and they won because of a fumble return. Trevor didn't even play well. The Jags should have won that game by at least 10 points going away if they were all that. I have the Chargers beating them this weekend. We are just a good QB away to be able to win the division and we need the right coach too. Taylor being injured all season gave us no chance of doing anything with the QB's we had and coaching we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
