All you are considering is the X's and the O's of coaching (which is still questionable)...College coaching is so much more than that...as DD already pointed out. Many believe a coach like Gruden wouldn't make it in college, at least not to the same Champ level.
Payton, Jim Harbaugh, Coughlin, and NFL Carroll are better coaches than Saban, Meyer, Fisher, Miles, and College Carroll?

Some NFL coaches wouldn't be able to handle the recruiting aspect that well. I can't imagine Beelicheeeech being a good recruiter, yet he is one of the best coaches in the game.
On the other hand, a lot of college coaches couldn't handle the personalities and freedom mega rich pro athletes have.

Recruiting isn't coaching, while it is obviously a big part of being in charge of a college program it is irrelevant to this discussion. From a coaching standpoint, I'm not sure anyone has presented an argument for college presenting more of a challenge than the pros.
Is anyone going to argue that Harbaugh leaving Stanford for SF didn't constitute a step forward
in his career? If not, how can anyone argue against the fact that getting fired from that job and taking a job with a college program at best on par with the one he left for SF constitutes a step back in his career?

JH can basically have any vacant coaching job he wants (NFL or NCAA)... He could prob have a few coaches fired and take their jobs if he wanted.
If he wants to coach at Michigan he can go there. Should it not work out for whatever reason, I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of NFL opportunity a few years from now.
Regardless, I still see the college scenario unlikely for JH, no matter how much money they are throwing at him. He's comes so close to a Super Bowl, I can't see him leaving the NFL until he wins one. Unfortunately this won't be in SF

Sorry for the hijack, I didn't think what I wrote would even be argued but I obviously underestimated the distortion one has viewing the world through maize colored glasses.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Capella and Gump aren't Michigan fans. Like I said when you came in, you can argue this as much as you want and never be right.

It's extremely relevant to the discussion. We're talking about whether a college job is a step down from an NFL job. You can't just throw out something that is an enormous part of a college job.

Is it being looked at through "maize colored glasses" because it's the Michigan thread? Otherwise, not sure what Michigan has to do with the "distortion". There are several from varying fanbases calling you on your comments. One or two of which are Michigan fans. If you ignore that fact, I guess you have a point? It's just one that no one understands

And I think it's big that Durkin is making Texas A&M wait so he can see what Harbaugh does. I really like Mattison, but Durkin would be great also.

The articles I've read so far don't seem to mention those particulars. Unless I'm reading right over it...

all I've seen is there is a full court press on him this weekend and they plan to leave with him and a signed contract next week. Nothing is anywhere near official though.

Dead period just means there are no visits. It could be that Rosen is saying Michigan is back in play if Harbaugh goes home. It will be interesting to see if he can persuade some of the other initial recruits too.I'mon Harbaugh...but how would they have Rosen flipping already during a dead period?

He did visit in March. I am just telling you what he said he heard from a trusted source. The guy has been pretty spot on of late. NFL guys are still not going with what he had been saying for a long time.I'm just saying...'might be bringing' is a little strong. Did he visit UM?

Source says, Harbaugh will tell SF team after Sunday's game and be introduced Tuesday. Once again, nothing signed, but UM confident.

What's the thought of going after those who were initially committed and then bailed? Part of me says screw 'em.

When you see the downward trajectory of the team under Hoke I am not sure how you could blame anyone for bailing.What's the thought of going after those who were initially committed and then bailed?

He's quoted yesterday as saying he's not going anywhere but UCLA, Harbaugh or no Harbaugh. He's also starting school at UCLA on January 5, so they'd need to work quickly.gump said:I'm just saying...'might be bringing' is a little strong. Did he visit UM?

John U Bacon says it's a done deal. Says friends of Harbaugh have already booked flights to Michigan. Don't ask who that is because he doesn't mention names. Bacon is pretty well connected though.
Does Harbaugh have a posse?

Certainly not on any of the major news media outlets. If this goes through, they've been the most wrong about this whole thing than anything I can ever remember. Kinda funny actually.

A custodian at the Michgans athletic building said it was a done deal 5 days ago. Said he overheard Hackett.

Wonder how many of those previously committed will now come back into the fold after committing elsewhere.
