$69 million? Seems more than a little high, he signed a 4y $24M deal, and coached a year. That's $18M left. Do they still owe Harbaugh money? Even if they do I can't see how there can be another $50M outstanding.

Does that include money owed to Balke too?

I thought it was bad when TT added a year to Sherman and then fired him, but this is a huge waste, considering how much they will have to pay for new coaches and GM next year. I'd laugh, but since the Packers don't play them next year, it just helps Seattle.

Me neither.

Most of those NFL exec contracts are off set by the compensation the coach or exec gets from their new team. Harbaugh drags a pretty big ticket to the pay window from U of Mi. That would off set what he gets from those filthy pigs by the Bay. Most observers think Kelly will return to the college ranks, if not next year, then certainly by the year after. That will eat into the 18 mil owed by the Whiners.

I can't calculate what the total nut owed by SF will be, but far short of 69 mil.

I wonder if their contracts are offset by future earnings, or 'future earnings as head coach of an NFL team'?

There is Tomsula in there, fired after one season. I remember seeing something about him getting north of $10M for his single season, not sure how much of that was for future years.

The current staff has 21 other coaches & coordinators. Not all would have guaranteed contracts, but I'm guessing a select few might. That could get expensive pretty quickly.

They could all be in the first year of new two year deals. Normally, assistants work on two year deals, and some get them rolled over so its always 2 years as long as they are employed. There was an article about this last week about coaches on sabbatical (voluntary or otherwise).

The one perk to changing job locations often was that even for coaches who were fired late or did not catch on, they had a severance of a year's worth of salary to work off of.

One point, one question:

1. They can only hire one. Leaves Packers with three choices minimum.

2. Why on earth would you want to work for that team under Jed York, child terror?

There are reports (starting before the contract foofaraw with Harbaugh) that the York's are penurious. Jed's biggest contribution to date has been the new stadium that was 1/3 full for the bulk of this season. I doubt they are in the kind of straights that the Raiders or Chargers find themselves in with their older stadiums, but do you want to be GM and have to solve four problems at once (meddlesome owner who picks fights with coaches, live gate revenue, personnel and coaching)?

Pete Dougherty worries about how much to panic about the Packers letting two guys interview for jobs. His logic is slightly off as he focuses on just Wolf and not why Gutenkist is also being allowed to interview.

But best bit is finally an answer to Ted's health issue from a while back: it was hip replacement


Thompson is 63 and has been slowed physically since a difficult recovery from hip-replacement surgery three years ago. But multiple sources said that however things might look from a distance, he’s sharp and shows plenty of energy in every-day interactions. There are no indications he’s ready to move to another role or retire, though there’s no knowing whether new circumstances or a Super Bowl win might affect his thinking.

Interesante: John Dorsey


Dorsey, a former Packers player who cut his teeth in Green Bay under Hall of Fame architect Ron Wolf, has not yet signed a contract extension, sources said. He's in the final year of his deal, potentially opening the door to him leaving what he helped build in Kansas City to work at Lambeau Field.

OK, now I could see someone in the Executive Committee commit a full fledged panic and try to push Ted out to get this guy. Makes far more sense than the Young Pup Wolf.

I still don't think its a good move, but at least I can see this logic. I do love that two years remaining on a contract leaves Ted's future an open question.

WTHR can confirm that Irsay's plane was in Houston last night. Why it was there and whether he was on the plane, we still don't know.

Irsay might be at the top of the list of goofy owners if he didn't occasionally stumble into people who make good decisions. First Polian lead to Manning, then to Dungy. But it might be turning back to circus as we speak.

Just this week they dropped hints (no formal announcement) that Pagano and Grigson were coming back.

Theory is that the Texans might want to part ways with Bill O'Brien because he has proven unable to do the thing he was hired to do. Develop a QB.

From what I gather Marinelli's best position is as D-line coach; he's an okay defensive coordinator but not top notch.

A great motivator and teacher but not innovative or able to out-scheme anyone.

Jim Schvantz is just a nut case. He's the kind who has a good run for a few years but burns out and has to move on.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 4m4 minutes ago
Jim Irsay’s run at Jon Gruden is another sign of state of his thinking. Irsay determined to do anything in his power to return Colts to SB.

I hope this happens and its a disaster from start to finish. A lot would depend on the GM. But Gruden probably does fix the offense, Holmgren style. Its plays better, makes more sense but it not updated enough to counter good, modern Defenses and they rely on Luck to save their bacon too much. Then they wait for the D, everyone gets a little tired of Chucky's act, and its all over. Like Jimmy in Miami.


EDIT:

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 13m13 minutes ago
Rumors true: Colts owner Jim Irsay did pursue Jon Gruden, but Gruden resisted overtures, league sources tell ESPN. Gruden staying in TV.

Exactly, Gruden has a good, comfortable gig that lets him enjoy life a little. He also doesn't have to look too hard at his brother Jay answering to Snyder in Washington to remind himself of what an NFL head coach's life is like.

Good article on PFT about how the league should protect its coach's health the way it does the players, by restricting their hours of work. Why would Jon Gruden want to go back to 20h days?

Not to mention that Irsay is a fool if he thinks Jon Gruden could step right back in. The game has changed in the decade he (and Cowher!) have been gone.

Fritz
01-14-2017, 11:59 AM

Nope, they are doing both simultaneously because Jed York has such a track record of success deciding between his GM and HC about what course to follow.

They did the same thing with Pete Carroll and I thought that was dumb. But Schneider was OK with it.

But I don't think Shanahan Jr. or most of their GM candidates have the high level experience the Seattle guys did. Carroll was head coach for 2 teams. Schneider had worked at a high level with coach involvement for 3 different franchises (GB, Seattle, Washington).

Gutenkist was also one of three they name who got second interviews. The third was George Paton. Gutenkist is supposed to still be in the running.

Bobbo says Wolf was told no by 49ers.


Sources said Eliot Wolf, the team’s director of football operations, pulled out of the running for the vacant general manager’s position in San Francisco when it became apparent that he wasn’t going to be hired.

Gutekunst is how you spell Brian's name and he is getting a second interview. Wolf had one scheduled as well, but it became apparent they had fallen for Gutekunst and he withdrew.

I'm not sure being hired by the 49ers would be considered a great job with Jed York in charge.

seems like i read, or heard, that people are being warned off that organization after their recent ridiculous behavior.

I had to look it up because I figured he was probably dead by now. But no, good old Jerry is as far as Wikipedia knows still kicking at age 89.

"They put his fucking picture up there and the fucking fuckers boo'ed him"!

Coaching wisdom from Burnsey.

Burnsey was on Lombardi's staff at GB.

VTL frowned on the use of the "F" word, so I guess Jerry was getting in all the "fucks" he missed in GB

I was just glancing at headlines when this story came out on the JSO site, and I read "Elliot Wolf Pulls Out." I wondered why they were covering his personal life so closely.

I don't think there were good prospects for a long-term relationship there. Staying in could end up costing him a lot of money down the road.

And there you have it. Ron must have instilled the fear of alimony in young Eliot.

While Eliot Wolf agreed to a new deal with the Packers, that contract would not preclude him from interviewing for a GM role as Colts have

john lynch is the new 9ers gm. where did that come from?

He called Kyle Shanahan up when the first wave of interviews were over and people took themselves out of the running.

He was interviewed along with Paton from the Vikes and some other dude. Lynch got the job.

To further complicate matters, there is talk about retaining a Director of Player Personnel to help Lynch (either the asst GM in SF or Mark Dominik). So Lynch will not have final say on roster and will not be head of scouting, and probably won't do contracts.

He might be the greeter.
