Many of the Bears players don't need a fire lit under their asses, they need to be lit on fire and tossed in a dumpster.

Me either but apparently that would make him the highest paid NCAA coach. I also keep hearing the sports radio warble garblers claim Harbaugh is going wherever the money is best.

Don't try to light Clausen on fire, that's a dangerous amount of hairspray to fuck around with.

The incredible part of the Catler benching is the backup all along was Jimmy Clausen. Holy shit how do you go into a season with Clausen as your backup?

When you have a highly paid superstar like Cutler as your starting QB, you don't need to worry about your backup.

Well, his father spent time coaching for Michigan and the family lived there AND he played for Michigan. I still wouldn't be surprised if he wants to just stay in the NFL overall though. You might be right though, since why else would he be rumored to be linked to Oakland. You know he can land a better job than that pile.

I don't think Harbaugh wants to go back to college although he probably should since his personality fits that better IMO. There are rumors that part of what turned his contract negotiations sour in the off season was that he wanted to be the highest paid coach in the league which would have put him in the 8-9 million range. I think he will go to some team that has a quarterback he thinks he can work with and where he can be GM and head coach. Add in the fact that he has family in the bay area and the Raiders are a perfect fit if they can afford him which is not clear.

I read a snippet somewhere that said the Raiders owner was ready to open up the coffers for next year.
You can't trade a coach like a player regardless. Florio had a pretty good writeup on the trade rules for non-players. A gem amongst the usual shitty gossip.
Essentially the coach has to agree to sign a new deal to whatever team he is "traded" to. His current team simply receives compensation for releasing him before the contract is up. There would be nothingrequiringHarbaugh to coach, let's say, Jacksonville if the 49ers tried to trade him there. You can't "own" a coach's rights like you do a player with the free agency, franchise tag, etc. systems.
If Harbaugh doesn't like the potential trade destination he simply continues to show up for work in SF per the terms of his contract...and they can either fire him (and get nothing from his new team) or continue his employment.
