Do you like John Harbaugh

[OriginalColtsFan]

It could be argued that he inherited a very talented team and just rode their coattails during these 5 "successful" years

Okay. So what are you saying? That he should get more years to show what he can do? Knowing your stance on Harbaugh, I don't think that's what you're saying. But I'm definitely not clear on what you ARE sayin?

Harbaugh has become somewhat of a villain here among the sports reporters and sports talk show hosts. There is a consensus among them that he is arrogant, smug and inept as a coach. Mark Madden here in the Burgh refers to him as "Corporate Coach Johnny". They really berated him over the challenge flag and end of halftime clock this past game. Granted a lot of these guys including Madden can be donkeys as well.

Just sharing with you all. No disrespect. He has a hell of a win, loss record the past five years.

Personally, I think Harbaugh has done a very good job so far this season. He's taken a marginally talented football team and brings them to DC with a 9-3 record. How they end up remains to be seen but for the most part, he usually has the team ready to play on Sunday. When I looked at the Ravens going into Week 1, 9-7 wouldn't have surprised me in the least. I'm not sure how arrogant he is but this town could a lot worse.

you do realize that if the ravens had gotten him a year earlier (2009) he would have cost a lot more (1st, 3rd and players). Arizona wanted a ransom for him prior to the 2009 season. I do agree he is aging though but from a price standpoint (contract and draft picks) they were smart to get him when they got him.

by the way i like harbaugh (not super high on him) but would like him a lot more if he finally gets rid of cameron.

no disrespect taken

but I'm curious,
If they think Harbaugh is that arrogant....I can only imagine what they thought of Billick.

Billick was the king of arrogance.
I just don't see Harbaugh that way at all. Seems like a real nice down to earth kinda a guy.

He just needs to fire Cam

I'll give you that. Same could be said for another player. The show is coming to a close. The players who have been the backbone of this team are in decline and we have not replaced them well enough. John has his work cut out for him over the next few years.

Oh. OCF. You could say the same for the QB. He should get an extension to show us what he can do?

[Eastside Terp]

do I like him? what does that mean?

I like his results a lot ........

as to his style he's a little too rah-rah college coach for me but its what this team needed and has worked ........

the only time I met him he was heavy bible thumping and seemed like a decent and sincere human being .......

Because it's not. A business? Maybe. A sport? No.

Jim Brown is quoted as having said: "Football is a great sport, but a lousy business".

I love how sports fans accept terms like rebuilding year, one or two players away, still a team in progress.

EVERY team in the NFL gets the same amount of money to spend on payrolls. Weaker teams get the highest quality players in the draft each year.

Team are suppose to play well, if they don't its because people did not do the job they are paid to do, plain and simple
