What the hell?

 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/02/21/sources-browns-nearly-traded-for-jim-harbaugh/

A deal that would have sent multiple draft picks to San Francisco was in place between the teams.  But Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers.

I hope it was just a negotiating tactic

Crazy as **** and it has some truth to it. I guess Jim had the ultimate say.

Browns never reached out to Harbaugh. HE TOLD THEM HE WANTED THE JOB when they called on Roman & Tomsula.

He saying Browns wouldn't agree to compensation

 

[red80]

[finallyfamous]

There's no way the Browns said no.

So random

Sidenote-- i tried to post the original GIF of that Steve Carrell "No" that is used on here pretty frequently and it said it exceeded the size limit yet I've seen it posted multiple times. Am i doing something incorrect?

 

[red80]

trent: we'll give you jim under 1 stipulation - you MUST take greg roman as well. final offer.

Repped. Good lookin' out

 

[ii flash ii]

this report about trading harbaugh is mindboggling if true. wtf?

I just seen on twitter that if Harbaugh leaves Jim Tonsula is next in line to be head coach... What is this about???

 

[moiety]

I see Harbaugh using this as a negotiating tactic in my opinion. A very smart one at that.

 

[MON5T3R]

I dont even know what to say that sounds so dumb yet crazy

 

[red80]

 @JedYork: @ProFootballTalk @RapSheet is this on the record? Report isn't true.

 

[100027]

Browns didn't deny report though....  

Another cleveland reporter corroborating: 

 

[townbidness]

Makes no sense to trade the person that has made your team relevant again.

 

[johnson1]

the would have been a freaking riot in the Bay Area if this transpired

 

[jordanxi45]

One of the 2 is happening here:

- 49ers want to show Harbaugh they don't need to pay him all that much and willing to let him go as a negotiating tactic.

- Harbaugh's agent put this info out there to show that Harbaugh is willing to leave if he isn't fairly compensated.

I'm willing to bet its the latter.

Regardless, I don't see Harbaugh leaving anytime soon.

I'll be honest if they traded jim, and had a bad season. I might have to turn in my niner faithful card

The report saying when the browns call asking about roman and other coaches and harbaugh told them he wanted the job seem like the ultimate scumbag move. Now I know i don't know harbaugh at all but he seems too loyal to undercut his coaches like that.

You should turn your card in right now if your loyalty is that fragile. Trust me id lose my mind as well but nothing could ever move my loyalty.

 

[niketalker23]

Even if this never happened, the Browns will not deny it because if the reports about Jim WANTING the job were to be true, it would somehow make the Browns appear to be an appealing organization.
'
Let's be honest here guys, there is NO WAY IN HELL the 49ers ever considered moving Jim.

 

[lb510]

Guess I need to go back a couple pages I'm sooo lost

 

[red80]

Jim harbaugh for josh Gordon and promote roman to head coach

Lol I remember why I stay away from the official 49ers message board

 

[finallyfamous]

From what I have heard all around Cleveland was that a deal was in place.

The draft picks were set.

The contract was set.

The idea of the Browns-Ravens rivalry apparently got Jim VERY excited about.

Harbaugh's family along with him decided in the end that it was in his best interest that he stays.

It's not a big deal and will die off soon, but wow how random yet interesting is that.

Queston for you 49ers fans... isn't this weird tho? your front office legit was about to say peace out to your coach and he was nearly on board.

wow.

 

[finallyfamous]

and of course San Fran will deny this

All I'm saying is that this was seriously discussed and nearly went down.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter.
