I really doubt he runs it back again. If he was going to do it though, that's the place to go. He'll be 46, and while I'm never one to doubt him, there have been signs of him actually being a human this year. Through 13 games he's on pace to throw for the fewest number of TDs since 2001.

all true, but the niners have an offensive line unlike tampa bay.  san fran is his home too.  or at least where he grew up.

and he doesnt seem like a guy who realizes that he might not have it anymore.

(and he just lost a ton of money)

Dan Campbell's interview on McAfee's show today was great

It's about an hour and 26 minutes into the show or so

I think the sign of a good leader is giving credit publicly to others, & at times allowing yourself to be self-deprecating.  So many "alphas" will never allow themselves to look silly - DC does that beautifully.

When is Lance supposed to come back? Sooner or later you think the Niners would either have to give him the keys to the kingdom or trade him away. I mean IF they do sign Brady that would mean at the earliest Lance wouldn't start till his 4th season.

Would Fenway somehow be the best Dual Purpose Stadium?!?

I don’t think any team at the college or professional level would ever agree to share a sideline with the other team in a non-exhibition game. It’s a recipe for disaster.

I also don’t think the capacity would be sufficient for anything above a low-level ACC team or an Army/Navy/UMass.

It’s cool as an exhibition spot though.

Yeah it seem like there's sufficient room on the other side honestly so I dunno why they are sharing a side line.  If they really think it's too small on the one side, pivot on the top left corner of the field and swing the bottom to the left a bit.

I hadn't really thought about capacity... I was more just looking at distance from the field for the fans.  Many other multi-purpose stadium end up with HUGE field space with the fans well removed.  Here the only spot where that happens is the green monster.  Heck, put some collapsible seating in the wall that can slide out during football games and you could increase capacity while also further eliminated 'wasted' space.

For the record: I seriously doubt it would ever happen... just thinking out loud.

That’s my biggest gripe with the hockey rink on a football field. You can fit 110,000 in Michigan Stadium for Michigan/MSU or Wings/Hawks but good luck knowing what’s going on if you’re there.

It’s a cool one-time experience but wouldn’t work long-term.

This Brock Purdy story is awesome and he's beating Seattle............this is awesome.  Mr. Irrelevant.

Tiger stadium was basically a square field, when the Lions played there it was pretty much a mile to the the seats along either sideline. Hard to imagine that in its early days the the NFL was such a poor sister that a lot of teams played a lot years in terrible venues.

Do the teams share the same sideline for that Fenway game? If not that one sideline is awfully narrow.

I'm not sure if available room is the issue on the one sideline... my thought is it might be more of an issue with fan sightlines.  There are only so many seats in Fenway and it would stink to lose more because the lower seats along that area would have their view blocked by players/coaches and equipment.

That might might some sense, yeah... Obviously these are all things that would need to get worked out if they ever wanted to play "real" games here.

Colts just choked away a 33-0 halftime lead and lost 39-36.

[Motor City Sonics]

That's a Minnesota team that the Lions pretty soundly beat yesterweek.      Maybe they are for real.

honestly, i dont know why he isnt snapped up by an nfl team.  he's taken a team to the super bowl, he's taken michigan from the dregs to back to back big ten titles, the dude is a great coach.

but he's bot young anymore so nfl teams ignore him.  i dont get it.

[Motown Bombers]

I have no idea why Urban Meyer was given an NFL job over Harbaugh.

Michigan can pay about the same with job security. Why would he leave?

 

It used to be you left for nfl money. Now all the major colleges can pay that money

i think he wants the challenge, thats why he wanted the vikes job.

[MichiganCardinal]

I don’t think Harbaugh leaves this offseason. I think he retires after a championship, or goes to the Ravens to have fun with John before he goes to the Colts or Cardinals or whoever.

Never say never. I just think the NFL pissed him off last year with what happened with Minnesota.

I do to but you asked why he wasn't snatched up. He no longer has to take any nfl job for the significant raise and his tenure didn't end well with the niners.

Tony Romo making apologies for Tom Brady having 4 turnovers.       Stop slobbering,  you won't lose your job for not kissing his ass, Tony.
