Update: Jim Harbaugh Back On The Market, Dolphins Will Stick With Tony Sparano

Update 2: Never mind. The Dolphins have decided to stick with Tony Sparano according to ESPN.

According to 790 The Ticket in Miami, Jim Harbaugh is taking his talents to South Beach. Dan LeBatard first broke the story this afternoon when one of his go-to guys who is “never wrong” said that he could report Harbaugh to Miami.

The Dolphins will reportedly offer Harbaugh a contract worth between $7-8 million per year that Harbaugh will not turn down. Assuming this actually happens, can he still be rumored for every other coaching job? Also, Tony Sparano doesn’t know anything about this, so don’t say anything.

Update: Adam Schefter points out that the Dolphins haven’t gone through the motions of interviewing a minority candidate. If only Harbaugh was part Cherokee.

His teams may have floundered, but I hope he gets another HC job and wrecks shit up.

2-3 years under that contract and then he takes the Michigan job, right?

Why wouldn’t the Broncos try to scoop him up off the bin and ask him to turn them around?

I can’t even guess who would be a candidate. But yeah, somebody will walk into a very attractive position in their first year. Maybe they promote their DC?

Absolutely. Also, Dennis Erickson to Stanford is a winning rumor

With Childress and Sparano out, that leaves Jeff Fisher as the only mustachioed coach in the NFL. If he gets fired, it looks like the AMI has a serious case. Pretty soon Dave Wanstedt will be going on token interviews anytime there is a coaching vacancy, per NFL mandate.

CRM,

Did you see these highlights? These shots Jimmer made are ridiculous.
