Miami Sticking With Tony Sparano, Jim Harbaugh Sticking With The Bay Area?

PrintWell folks, it looks like we've got one book on the Jim Harbaugh saga closed - the Miami Dolphins are reportedly moving on and sticking with Tony Sparano. This is according to reports from Jay Glazer and Chris Mortensen, they are as follows:
@Jay_Glazer: After meeting w Jim Harbaugh, Dolphins have decided to forgo that route and retain Tony Sparano. More to come
and
@mortreport: LATEST ESPN UPDATE: After meeting w Harbaugh, source says Dolphins have decided that Tony Sparano is the best man for job. Will be retained.
So officially, the Dolphins are out of this on their own accord and they were not outright rejected by Jim Harbaugh. I get the feeling that Harbaugh was not impressed with Miami and was more concerned about the situation than the dollar signs involved. The unlimited pocket of Steve Ross appears to have not been enough.
Leading up to this, it was speculated that the 49ers and Stanford remained the two biggest possibilities, and I'd say that sounds about right. Andrew Luck is staying in school and I imagine that's why Harbaugh is still wanting to stay there, but either way it looks like the Bay Area is where he'll be. Except for one little thing.
John Elway and the Denver Broncos have requested a meeting with Harbaugh, but no word yet on whether or not he'll entertain their request. THIS, my friends, is the thread. Maybe. Site decorum is on, swearing is not allowed ... NO GIFS PLEASE NO GIFS PLEASE NO GIFS PLEASE

Nah
cause then he’d lose out on money still owed to him.
he can easily get another
Job to pay the same and itd be sticking it to the phins way more by leaving them coachless
That would still be tough
I’m sure he’s not hurting for money, but to walk away from 2.5 million would be a tough thing to do. He might make some of that back if a team hired him as an assistant, but even $1 million is a mighty big chunk of change. But since it’s not my money I say go for it. Stick it to the Dolpins for treating you like crap.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
But it would be a big FU to Ross.
He should be talking to others about their job openings, and if he gets the job leae in a blaze of glory.
Seriously though, I don’t know how Ross can’t fire Sparano now after interviewing three different people for HC, while Sparano was still coach. I don’t see how that situation doesn’t have disaster written all over it.
Coaches' salaries are GUARANTEED are they not?
So yeah, he should quit as a big “F*** YOU!” to the Dorpheens
I think the commisioner may have gave ross a call to feel me smiley
not to tell him how to run his team just about how to treat head coaches and the system right.

I don't pay attention to his posts
as I never understand what he is trying to say.
Not Yet.
He should wait until preseason starts when everyone is settled and then leave. As he leaves he should flip the owners the bird and have “Good Luck :)” written on his buttocks. That is what I would do if I was him because they disrespected him in every way and he did not deserve that after going 7-9 in a very tough division. Also this would leave the Dolphins in a panic frenzy and Tony would be able to sit back and watch the entire season of losses from home then rejoin the following year.

maybe Brent Jones talked him into going to 49ers
he was talking about how much he loved him on KNBR today
Eddie D and Joe Cool should buy Great America

They should be fined anyway
for clearly crapping on that rule regardless of the outcome.
The Commish stepped in heavy it appears
Miami was going to lose a 1st round pick I bet if this continued
I bet Goodell was being pressured too
minority rights groups always get up in arms quickly.
Oh
Rooney was gonna be all on him…they said last week they were gonna make sure to hold every team’s ‘feet to the fire’
Not a first round pick.
Detroit did this a few years ago and got fined 200K.

"I may be an idiot, but one thing I'm not sir, is an idiot." - Peter Griffin
that was a pretty minor violation
this would be a violation of epic proportions. it’d be a draft pick for sure and I think a first
How is it minor vs epic?
Seems pretty black and white to me. Either it’s a violation, or it’s not. Did you interview a minority candidate or did you not?
love the pun
but it’s never that stark. it’s like McDaniels taping the 49ers in London vs Belichick taping.
one guy wasn’t punished the other cost the team in a big way
I have my moments
one guy watched it, paid a huge fine and picks.
The other guy never watched it, and didn’t tell the guy to do it.
Maybe a deal to start in 2012
… so then our current interim coach goes for 16 more weeks, plus the super bowl
Its down to Stanford now.
I really think that if Harbaugh didn’t like the situation in Miami, it’s probably the same story with Denver. Now IMO Stanford is the only true competitor for Harbaugh. Hopefully Harbs drive for competition leads to the NFL.

one word, BU$$INE$$$!!!
guy this is bussines and bouth sides are moving pieces, this is my Conspiracy Theory
Jims wants the 49ers but they offered to low, 4.5 mil its not enough since Carrol got 6 mil Jim has a big ego and he thinks he is better that Carrol, so what do i do if i were Jims agent? ok I know that Jim its very close to the phins owner cus univ of michigan and it happens that my client, jim its his idol too!!! I would take advantage of that!! wont you ?ok they agree to set up this soap opera so niners increase that to at least 6.5 mil then I call (cus im jims agent remember? lol..) Stanford cus I know they LOVE HIM TOO!!!and probably want him back who knows? or at least they can help us too and trow out some rumors that they will give him 6 mil to stay….next day Jed Dork bites and bamm!!! now he is giving us , cus im the agent : )… the 6.5 mil a year and Jim Harbaurgh its named the new flaming hot Head Coach of the SAN FRANCISCO 49ers !!! (that was orgasmic lol) and he brings hope and new blood to the team happy ending guys…
…if not thats fine guys hopefully will get a good guy like Billick, eagles/falcons OC, Grouden cus I realy think that Jr its comited to bring back the glory days and really want him to succeed and prove us wrong cus that means success for the team… for the haters stop all the bs guys remenber we are the FAITHFULS!!! let us feel like a proud NATION again!!
49ERS ALL THE WAY BABY!!! till i die!!!
or it was all done by his agent. lol

Would Stanford really just take him back?
Knowing he’s probably just going to peace out next year after Luck leaves.
They would if they see keeping him and Luck for one more year as their one chance to compete for a National Title…

He doesn't have a shot at the championship
He is losing so many starters its not even funny
Kellen Moore is awesome
3/5ths of the offensive line
just to start. From what I heard they have 5 offensive starters coming back and 7 on defense.
They are losing
Their starting FB
Their 2 wrs
3 of their 5 OL (huge hit note UW)
NT
1 DE
2 ILB
So about half the team is moving but its an important half.
Kellen Moore is awesome
They have the top rated freshman class in the country
I’ve heard that they could be even better next year.
Just because you are losing a Sr, doesn’t mean you don’t have a better Jr or Soph in the wings that once he gets more starts, will be better. Kinda like we don’t know how good Mays will become, because he didn’t get reps.
But thats the thing.
Its a large unknown. They could be better, or they might not gel right away and the get Luck hurt. Plus with all of the talk of Harbaugh leaving I wonder if it will affect any of the recruits.
They would be allowed to leave
but what I’m saying is right now, Top 5 class coming in.
That’s not to say they don’t have depth though. Harbaugh obviously knows how to recruit.
and besides a rookie is a rookie
they don’t have the chemistry on the line like multiple year starters do. They also don’t have the technique that will be needed to survive in college. They will make mistakes because they will be playing against better competition just like a rookie will make mistake once they leave college.
Kellen Moore is awesome
because technique is so huge in college?
I’m not saying the rookies will come in and be great. I’m saying by him having a top 5 recruiting class it obviously shows he can get people in. He is probably 3rd ranked team in country after all bowl games, and top 5 recruiting class, he obviously knows what he is doing.
Everyone keeps saying they will be worse, and I don’t think they will. I’ve heard that they could be the #1 ranked team coming into the season. Best QB in the country how can they not be a good team. Trust me, they will still be good next year.
Colleges don’t have the parity that happens in the NFL. That’s why USC dominated so long, they consistently had strong recruiting classes coming in. Someone above said they go in waves, and I disagree. USC always had a guy to plug in. I’m sure Stanford has depth.
Oregon is more likely to be #1
but a top 5 pre-season ranking isn’t out of the question.
they do have a lot of starters returning
But #1 QB in country says a lot.
Oregon loses, watch out for Stanford is Harbaugh is still coaching
But Stanford isn't in the NFL.
That’s going to be the deciding factor.

From what I here, he wants to win a SB
Let’s say he does stay with Stanford. If he stays one more year and decides to leave, the 49ers won’t be an option. Unless whoever they get really blows it big time. Now he hast to leave the Bay Area if he wants to move to the NFL. Now is the perfect time to leave for him if he really wants to go to the NFL but doesn’t wan to move.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
Lots of truth to that
Plus a decent roster and some nice draft positioning as well as a few extra picks to play with. He if has confidence in being an NFL coach and especially bringing in the QB he wants, this might be a great opportunity.
Except if he wants to coach in the NFL he will never be hotter.
Just like Luck, if Stanford struggles next year his stock could drop. Its happened to hot HC candidates before and you never know what will happen. There are reasons to stat, but saying there is no reason to leave is not accurate.
Nation, you're welcome...

my comment in the steven ross desperation thread:
as a native and current Miamian and longtime (site decorum)-talker to all dolphin fans down here, i can only go by what i’ve spent 25-or-so years witnessing with my own 2 eyes: just when you think things are going to go right for the fins, they go horribly horribly wrong. i’ve laughed at their fate for decades. i expect to laugh at their fate again in the next few days. niner fans, we think our team is the incompetent, laughing stock of the league. history has proven to me that the dolphins are said laughing stock…at least to those miamians who aren’t dolphin fans, and have therefore had the pleasure of witnessing the utter lack of good things that happen to the dolphins.
bottom line: don’t worry, the fins would never have the good fortune of landing harbaugh.

He is never going to have as much power as he has now. If for some reason 3 new O-Lineman that will be starting next year affects the team in a bad way. But you know 3 rookie O-Lineman works so well in all stages of the game.

fiction?
So now, the inevitable question: if terrorists didn’t cause 9/11, who did? Remember that there are in fact two towers. Two minus one is one; one one – 11; two minus one is one; one one, and there are nine members on Silverstein’s board of directors. That’s nine-one-one. Nine-eleven. And take 2 – 1 + 9/11 and you get 12, which leads us all to the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. #12 ANDREW LUCK.
Twelve contains the numbers one and two, just like the age of Luck who decided to declare for draft in ’12 instead of ‘11! And one and two with 911 and you get 914! Drop the 4 and it’s 91, the same season Stanford previously had a winning streak 7+ games, and the exact passer rating Andrew had in a flag football game twelve days after 9/11! Who has the most to gain from 9/11?! Luck! Who was nowhere to be found the morning the towers fell?! Luck! Who dropped the deuce in the 2010 NFL season? Singletary! But probably the most damning of all is the evidence seen in this photo of during the 2011 Orange Bowl! When I zoomed in I saw what first appeared to be a blur, but when I computer-enhanced it,

That's not the point
His point was that Harbaugh has practically achieved all that’s possible, and thus implying that Harbaugh has nothing new to shoot for in college… overlooking a National Championship.
And though unlikely, it’s not impossible (only 1 defeat this year. What’s to say Harbaugh can’t get some decent play out of the next guys?)

Do you think he sees this as the most upside he will ever have getting a job in the NFL?
I don’t see the risk/reward for staying in college ball very good going into next year, would have to essentially run the table and win BCS, even then could he get same amount of $$?

you recruit a bunch of kids, make them starters for you and by the time they’ve played together a year or two they’re all going to graduate because you recruited them at the same time. extremely long-tenured coaches don’t have this problem, but most do
IIRC, Stanford is only losing two O-lineman
so that helps them

LG
C
RT – Freshman
Kellen Moore is awesome
This is who they will be losing
Offense:
WR
LG
C
RT
TE
FB
WR
Defense:
DE
NT
DE
ILB
OLB
LC (wtf is an LC)
Kellen Moore is awesome
Three of them were seniors.
Not sure about the back ups, but that seems like alot of turnover.
ok here are the freshman lineman on the assumption that sr will graduate
LG
RT
ILB
oh not that bad only 3 freshman.
Kellen Moore is awesome
ILB is not a lineman,
thats inside linebacker. I don’t know if they have non-freshman waiting, but three new offensive lineman is not good.
they have a non-senior at C
But LG and RT are both seniors and the RT is a 6th year senior.
Kellen Moore is awesome
I believe one of the reasons Bradford got hurt is the offensive line had a bunch of turnover.
I could be wrong, but this reminds me of that situation.
Look at their recruiting
They are getting better. Trust me.

After his time in Baltimore, I don’t blame him. Smart move on his part unless he’s convinced he won’t get any other offers anytime soon.

I really do think he'll sign with the 49ers for this reason
He had a deal in place with the 49ers but said he should at least hear what Miami had to say. I think part of that was an effort to drive up what the 49ers were offering. He’s now turned down Miami so why would he go back to Stanford if he was all set to sign with the 49ers? Sure they’re offering a little more, so he goes to the 49ers and says, “Here’s what Stanford’s offering. Add an extra half million a year to your deal and I’ll sign with you.” The Yorks say “no” but he signs anyways because it’s what he’s wanted to do all along.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
Sorry, I forgot that part
Expect him to agree with the 49ers in two weeks
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
I tend to agree
But this man is clearly nuts/evaluating all possible avenues.
Luck
Luck staying + Stanford having more time to sweeten their package might be enough to convince to return to The Farm.

problem is,
in the mean time, Andrew Luck decided to go back. so now he will have dreams of a national championship.
i still think SF is a highly likely landing spot, but Luck returning certainly boosts Stanford’s chances.
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
It does
But if he wants to coach in the NFL, and I think he does, and he wants to stay in the area (I think his wife does) now’s the perfect time to make the jump.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.

How could you possibly know what his wife wants? Unless you’re wining and dining her on the side…

I don't know
Which is why I said, “I think”. I’m married and I know my wife wories a lot about our children. It’s not unreasonable to think she might put some pressure on him to stay in the area as to not uproot thier 4 children that are in school and have friends.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
Exactly.
This is Harbaugh’s best chance at a successful NFL career living in an area he likes and wants to raise his family. He wants to go to the NFL, and the Bay Area teams are hiring HCs THIS YEAR, not next year. This is the only opportunity he’ll have to get an NFL job in the Bay Area.

after all of this speculation wouldn’t you think that the team would have setup interviews if they weren’t confident about Hardbaugh
seems like he wouldn't make
his decision based on Luck returning. But then 49ers couldn’t stop him from talking to Ross. Unless 49ers sweetened the offer and Harbaugh wanted to go to 49ers anyway. But as long as he is not going to Miami, it is ok for me.
You think...
At the end of our lives we’ll look back at our days/weeks/months of Harbaugh obsession and wonder why the hell we cared so much and wasted our time in mindless speculation and self-torture?

Imagine you’re interviewing for a job in any other industry and you’re highly sought after.
You get multiple offers and consider all of them. You go home and talk to your family and friends and figure out what the best fit is. If anything it just seems like due diligence on Harbaugh’s part, right?
agreed.
i actually like how he’s going about it. leaving all possibilities open.

Jim Harbaugh looks at NFL coaching jobs the way I shop at Best Buy. Picking up things, looking at them, maybe playing a game.
More like a Barnes and Noble...

What is your call on the next move, leak more interview candidates or go all in trying to get Harbaugh by tomorrow?
In other words…are they actively pursuing something or sitting around and waiting for the phone to ring
i don't think they're purusing anything else right now
until Harbaugh announces. It could be as late as Monday before we know but I think it’ll be tomorrow like I’ve said all along

I am aware, my joke
Was that Ross was going to see Lane Kiffin about coaching, I went ary from your original statement.

Later guys, I’m going to tuck Harbs in for the night. So cute, he’s pretending to be asleep.
I’ll get him up bright and early and we can get this thing signed

Slaying the dragon of incompetency and broken promises
This is how a franchise is cleansed – new era in Niners coaching
Dear Mr. Harbaugh
From the Niner FO, with love:
Spending all my nights
All my money going out on the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes
I’m right back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Harbaugh come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Harbaugh come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and we just can’t win without you
All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down
I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Harbaugh come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Harbaugh come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and we just can’t win without you
Now that I put it all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the plays in your book
Nothing left for me
Ain’t there nothing left for me
Harbaugh come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Harbaugh come back, listen, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and we just can’t win without you
I was wrong, and we just can’t win…

Trade with carolina
Since the announcement of Andrew Luck not going, it might make a smokescreen for Carolina to trade the pick to the 49ers for an Eli Manning type of package. before 1/15/2011, then Andrew Luck changes his heart and declares, before the deadline, the 49ers pick up Harbough after the trade is complete and Andrew Luck declares.

but you would have had to preplan the kicks in order to syncronize them. If you are just buried in the layers alone you cant escape that way
trippy guys...seriously.

All indications are
That nobody has any clue what is going on..but it has been mentioned he will make a decision tonight, but that is speculation too.
you are an honest pundit.

Its 10:00 PM, and my prediction failed at this point.
Anyone willing to spot me an hour? I think i was closer than most “pundits” about how this would play out

Jim Harbough "The Decision"
This should be on national TV where Jim Harbough puts several hats: Michigan, Dolphins, Panthers, Stanford, 49ers, Broncos and Raiders Caps on the table. With all the owners in their seats. He takes out the first cap; its Michigan’s, throws it in the trash and the Michigan AD goes crazy, the next Hat; Raiders Hat, Al davis comes out and says F…Off, Panthers hat gets picked up, he throws it in the trash and Richardson said, F….You, why you tell Luck to stay in school. The next hat is the Broncos, he throws that in the trash and John Elway says, you are no longer my stanford buddy, he takes out the Dolphins cap and throws that in the trash and says, you could of had $8 and been the highest paid coach in the NFL, there are now 2 caps left. Which hat will he choose, we all don’t really know.
Question: what is a GIF?
Also today is my birthday and all I want from the 49ers is to land Harbaugh!
Joe and Steve were under the same system for years... don't expect ___?__ to be super so soon. Alex Smith is no longer expected to do much for this team in the future... on to the next one!!
