Andy Reid, Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh in the same division. The NFL is thrilled for this, not just the fans.

It's a shame the Dallas Cowboys have an old rotten fool for an owner. They could've got Harbaugh, but instead, he stays with a coach that's mediocre.

@deaniart 6 ай бұрын

And Antonio Pierce, too. Last year, the AFC West has hyped to be a very competitive division, but the one reason why the Big Bad Chiefs (Who I am rooting for in the AFC Championship) won the division easily was because all that talent on the other three teams was poorly coached. Next year, Andy Reid will not be the only competent mind in the division. The West definitely has a chance to be competitive next year.

@jongrho602 6 ай бұрын

Harbaugh wanted to stay, even for a lot less money, but Michigan AD Warde Manuel wanted him gone since Harbaugh was pushing for a NIL program at Michigan which would have taken the booster money from Manuel's hands to the NIL program. All he needed to do was to take the decision of what "Cause" meant in his proposed contract away from his hands to a panel of three people rather than him alone. Harbaugh knew that the NCAA would deliver a "show Cause" to Michigan since their head of enforcement is one of Manuel's besties and Harbaugh's support for players getting paid was against what the corrupt heads of the NCAA wanted.
