Really think so, that team is one decent QB away from dominating that division next year IMO.

What better job is out there? There are only 32 NFL head coaching jobs available and the 49ers are lined up with some good young talent on O and a good D. They have a bunch of picks in the 2011 draft and they are in possibly the easiest conference ever.

The only thing, granted it is a BIG thing, they are missing is a QB.

Agree totally. The 49ers are loaded. This is a great choice - much better than Miami or Denver. And he gets to stay in the bay area.

If they had a decent QB next year and the line get's slightly better and the defense slightly more consistent, then they should win the West. Thats a lot of ifs but they have a bunch of young offensive talent and key veterans here and there.

They're also one of the most storied franchises in the NFL, and who better to evaluate and mentor a QB than Harbaugh. I think this is a good fit for him.

If you want to stay on the West Coast then stay at Stanford. You have a money QB and a team that could be looking at a national championship next year. If he takes the 49er job it is nothing more then a cash grab.

Or he could want to try coaching at the highest level. There's only a few NFL openings each year, and usually the teams with job openings are not teams that are winning. I don't know what NFL job you think he should have waited for.

Maybe it was not actually offered but the cash grab would have been taking 8 mil in Miami. If you want to try the NFL there is no better time. Like Luck, his stock will never be higher, he doesnt have to move his family to take the job, and its not like we are talking about a crap franchise here, its the freakin 49ers.

NFL live people were reporting that Stanford was looking to pay him 5 million per year. If thats true than its not a cash grab, maybe he really wants an NFL job and wanted to stay in the Bay Area.

I don't know. This whole things just seems a bit off. He had pretty quick success at Stanford and now all of the sudden he is about to take an NFL job in the worst division maybe in all of professional sports?

Just one problem with the Dolphins job... Pretty sure he wouldn't want to have to face the Jets and Patriots twice each season.

Good get for my 49ers. 2011 = playoffs.

They were talking about Stanford putting together the money to keep him on Jim Rome today but they were saying that they may only be able to get enough together to keep him for 1 more year.
