The only job more volatile than high school football coaching is pro football. For the most part , no matter how great you are 5-7 years is most to be expected : the administrative/ business structure changes , the voice becomes repetitive , etc There’s only so many Coach K or John Wooden careers . Lombardi went to the Redskins ; Cowboy fans cried for Tom Landry to be fired . Steeler fans wanted Tomlin gone a few weeks ago lol..
Harbaugh lasting 18 years is an amazing career accomplishment. At this point , it was either him or Lamar due to their playoff ineptitude and tensions that have surfaced . The organization pushed their remaining chips to Lamar and we will see what happens; as a long time Browns fan , hiring Harbaugh would be a dream come true
It is my belief that Pete Carroll knew the Raiders were unfixable, but he took the job anyway to give himself a very nice retirement package. His contract was for three years at a reported $45 million. With his tossing, he’s owed $30 million for not coaching. So the man gave his rah-rah routine on the sidelines, uttered some nonsense about culture-building, and is walking away with full pockets.
