I'm not sure why coaches leave the life of a top college football coach. $10M-15M a year to coach in usually low cost locations. Recruiting factories that always have better players than the other team in their conference. And they have a long long leash if they have won and can not do anything socially dumb (see Ed Ogeron). They are kings and win at least 9 games a year no matter what happens. There's no better example of this that Steve Spurrier. Left Florida. Downhill from there. Never should have left.

Ego and excitement. Same reason guys married to super cool gorgeous women cheat. I think Harbaugh wants to win a Super Bowl. He wants to win at the highest level- especially because he came so close before both as a player and coach.

Challenge. NFL is the king. Why wouldn’t you want to see if you could win a Super Bowl?

Spurrier did everything you could at UF and was there a decade. At some point you want to see if it can work at the biggest level.

So does Harbaugh go out out top and flee to the NFL?

I believe so 100%
The Bears would have been wise to swoop in when he was under more pressure and the start of the investigation
Lot of rumors about the Raiders

 

[Timmay]

I don't understand why he would want to leave unless the investigation truly comes to light and exposes him. He could go down as the one of the best Michigan head coaches of all time. Win 2-3 championship in a 20 year span while continuing to whoop up on Ohio State every year.

I can see the Raiders, Chargers or Commanders trying to get him.

I don't see the Panthers or Falcons enticing him to come their way. Even Commanders is an outside shot imo, but Raiders and Chargers can attract based on roster and location. Albeit, I think the Raiders would be stupid to not give Pierce a shot at the full time gig.

So does Harbaugh go out out top and flee to the NFL?

I think he is going to the NFL. Most likely Chargers or Raiders. Back during the middle of the season, I heard some rumors about Chicago as well.

 

[ChiefD]

Ego and excitement. Same reason guys married to super cool gorgeous women cheat. I think Harbaugh wants to win a Super Bowl. He wants to win at the highest level- especially because he came so close before both as a player and coach.

And because his brother has one. You just know that continues to stick in his craw.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Chicago with all those draft picks maybe.

Like I said in the other thread, I'll be surprised if UW doesn't put up at least 30 tonight.

37-34 Dawgs.

SURPRISE!

I feel like having to recruit teenagers would get very old

And it never stops plus with the transfer portal, you have to keep them happy. Tough job managing all those kids.
