He inherited a 1 win team. We had a similar discussion a couple of years ago about Cutcliffe. 19-6 at Stanford is more impressive...

than it would be at say Kansas or NC State.

I never expect immediate NFL success for head coaches, but I like his odds better than most. He reminds me of Ken Whisenhunt (Georgia Tech grad with a lot of years as an NFL player) with some Jack Del Rio thrown in. Of course, we saw with Mike Singletary that all of the NFL knowledge in the world doesn't matter if you don't have the right roster or the right makeup to lead. I think Harbaugh does but I also think he hasn't earned the right to be the "in demand" NFL prospect of the offseason.

- Unless we're talking about a coach who has taken a team to a Super Bowl, he doesn't deserve to have five teams chasing him. - David Jan 2, 17:51
