On my drive home from work - 10 min. ago - Petros Papadakis on Sports 570 AM is reporting Jim Harbaugh is leaving Stanford & going to the 49ers. No details. He sez he has a reliable inside source.



We shall see!!! That will help BYU with some of their recruits that like Stanford.

I love how espn reports things super early like they are facts, hopefully this one is a fact because the first cut will be A Smith when Harbaugh gets there.

Why would you take that job? Little talent. Poor management. Not a good scenario. Then again, 7 wins can win the division.



Although, with Bradford in the division, you may not win it soon.

You take the job because you get gobs of money at a storied franchise and you don't have to move.



And I hope this is true. Then I hope that they can trade up to #1 pick (even though I know that the Panthers aren't likely to give up the spot) so they can draft Luck.

I don't recall Stanford being a coveted job when Jim took it. Other than Stanford in a BCS conference and the money that comes with it.

I think the 49ers just made the same mistake they did with Singletary. I don't think Harbaugh is NFL material--too intense and relies too much on emotion.

Whether this works out well for JH, or not, it is nice to have a little turmoil at Stanford and wherever that ripple affect takes things. Is there anyone on Stanfords high list vulnerable to us making a raid?

Any interest in Taysom Hill who comitted last year I think? Pretty sure he's on a mission or close to it but he was a pretty heady QB out of Pocatello (Highland High IIRC). It would probably take his parents contacting Bronco like Nelsons did. Then again, he would still have to rs with the new rule right? Also, what would the qb scenario be after two more seasons? Heaps for his Sr. year if he stays and then Hill could step right in right?



Go Cougs!!!

Definitely need competition and depth for a successor to Heaps. Nelson and Lark should be gone at the end of Heap's junior year. I have lost count on Munns, but he might be done that year as well and definitely done the next year. So backup QB when Jake is a senior needs to be competitive. If Jake goes NFL early, heaven forbid, we have a big gap to fill if Nelson, Lark, Munns, and Heaps are all done at once.



Go Cougs!!!

Munns would have one last year of eligibility after Heaps' junior season. As for the future, we currently have Kuresa on board and that's about it. But granted, we are loaded for the next two years (unless someone transfers which doesn't look likely so far) so besides Kuresa, who has mission plans, we don't really need to actively pursue any other options until next year. Taysom Hill or Dallas Lloyd might be a good pickup if they decide they want out should Harbaugh leave AND if they end up serving a mission (I don't recall if they have left yet or not, plan to, etc... they could both already be gone for all I ( remember) otherwise there would be no point in even entertaining the thought since they are recruits from the classes of 2009 and 2010. Tanner Mangum looks to be a real strong option from the class of 2012. He could have mission plans though so we might need an RM transfer or a JC QB to bridge the gap between Heaps/Munns and Kuresa/Mangum. I wonder if Kevin Prince has had regrets about his decision to go to UCLA yet. That makes for two LDS QBs who have picked the Bruins over the Cougars thus far that hasn't exactly worked out for them.

I have to agree with this. His strength is getting his guys motivated and following him. Not sure if he can get nfl guys to do that. For the same reason, Bronco may not be a good nfl coach despite him being a good college coach.
