Will Rodgers follow him there?
On one hand … bummer. Hackett was my first choice.

On the other hand … if it gets Rodgers out of the division, good for us.
That was my exact interpretation, Kapp. I think there's a good chance Rodgers goes with him and that would be a huge win for us, obviously.

Rodgers and Adams to Den would be swell. *fingers crossed*

Not really, we said that when Favre got out of the division only for Rodgers to come in to kill Vikings and win a Superbowl so it could happen again

Bears have hired Colts defensive coordinator to be their head coach, I have never heard of him and do not understand this hire since I thought they would hire a offensive coach to work on Fields but looking at the Bears message board, most of them are not very happy with the hire and I do not blame them

I thought Zimmer might have a small chance of coming back to Dallas but I guess not, Zimmer is better off retiring

I was wondering if Dabol was in the race, and hes gone. The Vikings really take their time finding personal replacements. I dont like any of the '3' coaches left, but I think O'Connel would be the best of the 3. Have the Wilfs forgotten what has happened with the last 2 DC's, turned OC's, did to the Vikings? They could have still done right by getting Dabol, but too late. I have faith the Vikings will get it all right soon, and win a SB, I just want to be alive when that happens. :govikes:

Harbough is being interviewed by the Vikings. Surprisingly, it is looking like a realistic possibility.

+The two have mutual friends in #NFL personnel circles who could join them if he winds up taking the job. This is a very interesting situation.

New Vikings G.M. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah spent a year with Jim Harbaugh in San Francisco. And that apparently went well enough to get Harbaugh a Minnesota interview. https://wp.me/pbBqYq-cbYV

Wow! :shock: It just doesn’t seem like a hire the Wilfs or KAM would make. He doesn’t seem to be a very collaborative kind of guy. But I may be wrong. Interesting.

I hope Vikings do not hire Harbaugh, he is a jerk and 2nd stints usually do not work out well like Gruden

Holy sh*t.

On one hand, Harbaugh comes off as a jerk, and he never seems to stay anywhere for very long.

On the other hand, the guy wins. And he’s had some pretty notable successes with quarterbacks.

What’s weird to me is that Kwesi talks about a culture of total collaboration. Does Harbaugh seems like Mr. Collaboration?

Kapp, I’m from Michigan and follow all their games for many years. He is a jerk. In meaningful games, he chokes. He’s got a winning record because the Big Ten is weak. When they get to a bowl game they get crushed. His interviews are awful. His development of quarterbacks has been very spotty. He’s not a leader. Talk about a non communicator, he embodies it. We’ve seen enough of him. Trust me, we don’t want him. Michigan fans want him gone in spite of a good run this year. You think Zimmer was bad, this guy is worse. Michigan’s play calling resembled the Vikings, very predictable. RUN!

If we go by track record Harbaugh is an easy choice. If we go by people liking him stay far away. I don't think people liked Belichick much, but he sure has been successful. I won't be excited or bummed out if he is the hire.
