I don’t know how any of this will shake out over the next month or so in regards to the scandal… but… if this opens the door for Harbaugh to leave Michigan and return back to the NFL, the Bears need to open the checkbook and ask him for a number.
Look at the postgame of the Michigan-Penn State match up. These coaches and players are choking up on the verge of tears just talking about him, they love the man. This Michigan team would run through multiple brick walls for him.
The Bears have looked completely lifeless all season when they’re not eking out wins against the other worst team in the league. Eberflus can talk about HITS to the press til he’s blue in the face but nobody in the locker room seems bought into anything about this coaching regime.
Harbaugh is the type of coach to set a direction for a rudderless ship. If it were any other big name college coach I’d be more wary but he’s been to the Super Bowl, he’s no stranger to the league.
Even today we still call him “Coach Ditka”. A lifetime Bear. In 40 years we could still be talking about another Bear as “Coach Harbaugh”.
I’ve wanted Harbaugh as a the coach since he was fired by the 9ers.
Unfortunately, I think Poles gets another year, and that probably means Eberflus gets another year just based on how he’s talked about him recently.
If Getsy isn’t gone by next year though I’ll be pissed. Whether we still have Fields or not, any QB is going to get ruined if he’s still on the team.
