Good deal for him. They have talent, are in a VERY winnable division, and he doesn't need to move his family.

Now, to find a QB....

I would bet they sign/trade for Vince Young. Harbaugh is used to coaching college kids.

What a bunch of crap. How can anybody make this much before ever coaching a game in NFL. The 49ers are banking on the fact that he turns into his brother. Ridiculous.

Well he was the most sought after coach this off-season so he is going to get paid a crazy salary. It isn't any different than an unproven rookie getting paid millions of dollars before stepping into the THUNDER DOME!!!!!

Poor Michigan, you younger fella's might not remember this but Michigan used to be somebody.

[WRREBEL]

He should get paid. Why would he leave a good job at stanford to take on the 49erss?

The guy is going to be very successful as an nfl coach.

Do you think Luck goes for the draft now?

Luck's gaming the system. He wants to play for Harbaugh. I think he's going to try to pull a Bernie in the sup somehow.

He has no chance to play in San Fran unless the Panthers are willing to trade down. Which they won't be if there boy Luck changes his mind and decides to enter the draft.

[Harry Buffalo]

Actually there is a good chance seeing him go in the sup. If I was draft eligible and didn't know if there was going to be a next season then I would stay at school and just wait as long as possible to see if there actually was going to be a next season. He will still get paid bank too.

Not sure how he will do that.

Unless I am missing something, the supplemental round still follows the draft position if more than one teams places a 1st round bid on the guy...and I am sure at least 25 teams would offer next years #1.

As a matter of fact, I don't think you can any longer trade a supplemental pick, so i don't know how SF or Luck will be able to angle anything other then if Harbaugh decides to throw all of next seasons games.

[shepwrite]

Keep in mind that Carolina will have just poured a ton of cap into a #1 overall, right? Lots of money going to some other picks, too... and some of those picks will be Mallett, Locker, Newton, Ponder, and others.

Bernie told the Vikings he would sit out the year if they picked him... and Luck could do the same to Carolina. They could pick him anyway and then trade him to the Niners for a couple #1s... or they could pass and keep their #1 for 2012, counting on it being higher than SF's.

Lots of gamesmanship could take place.
