The Browns Board

  • ~     Well  Jim Harbaugh did  NOT  have to leave the  Michigan Wolverines  but this was his chance to win a Super Bowl trophy .....

    Nearly 11 years ago, Jim Harbaugh’s San Francisco 49ers were in the Super Bowl, first-and-goal from the 7 with 2:39 remaining. They trailed the Baltimore Ravens by five.

    That meant four shots at the end zone, four shots to likely win it all, four shots for Harbaugh to ascend to the top of the coaching world. It was all there for the taking.

    None of those plays found pay dirt. The vaunted Ravens defense stuffed the Niners and moments later, it was Baltimore (and Jim’s brother John) that was hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

    “No greater coach in the NFL than Jim Harbaugh,” John would say afterward, and it sounded like he meant it even if he wasn‘t talking about his younger brother.

    That’s how close Jim Harbaugh got to winning the Super Bowl as a coach. The desire to eventually get one never left him, even after he returned to the college ranks for the past nine years and led his alma mater, Michigan, to a national championship ....    ▪︎-->  CONTINUED at  yahoo Sports  1/24/24  lead Jim Harbaugh   ▪︎-->

    Have the Browns been renamed to the Chargers? No? Then who TF cares? 

  • There wasn't a chance in hell he was staying in Ann Arbor.

    He knows what is coming down the pike for them.

    The Ann Arbor Asterisks are about to get their staff raided.

    About that National Championship Trophy - we would like to thank Elvis Pressley for the foresight:

    He pulled the ol' Pete Carroll, that's for sure.

    Can't blame him though- coaching in college has to be fucking hard now. It makes my head whizz just trying to follow the news let alone be boots on the ground.

  • Did I miss something? How was Michigan not suspended after they were caught cheating? Oh...money

  • I''ll guarantee he hires Vic Fangio as his DC who Miami just let go...

    I've heard that a lot in the last day or so; but I'm gonna predict he hires his DC from Michigan Jesse Minter.    Getting Mike Macdonald and then Minter in succession from the Rats to Coordinate Michigan's Defense - was the game changer he knows he should stick with.

    Harbaugh was good for Michigan too.

    He was getting his ass handed to him every year by Ohio State, absolutely ducked them in 2020, then cheated their way back to relevance, now he's getting out of Dodge before the NCAA drops the bomb on them.

    But sure, we'll call that "good for Michigan".

    Hahaha you OSU fans are just too much. Still clinging to whatever delusional nonsense you can. 

    Hopefully Day's attempt at a Texas A&M strategy works for you, huh?

    In the meantime I'll just have to enjoy being National champions, I guess.

    LOL nothing new there

  • This is going to be a great litmus test for Jim as he is inheriting a really good NFL roster, especially at the one position that matters the most, QB. If he is even 1/2 the coach he thinks he is, then he should be batting KC for the division next year and anything less will be a gigantic disappointment.

    ^ With that being said. all he needs to do is ask himself "what would Brandon Staley do here" and do the exact opposite and that will be worth 4 wins right from the get go.

    If he isn't as good as the potential super bowl winners in year one, then he's a gigantic disappointment

    Good thing there's no pressure... Haha

    Harbaughs thrive under pressure, just ask them. He's about to have the best QB under center that he has ever had at any level and it's going to be interesting to see his offensive design philosophy. His raw, raw will be effective immediately for a team that has suffered under Staley but it will only remain effective if he wins.

    Me personally? I think he does really well and does so from week 1.
