1
00:00:00.525 --> 00:00:01.705
- Everybody's predicting

2
00:00:01.705 --> 00:00:04.845
where Michigan football coach
Jim Harbaugh will go next

3
00:00:04.845 --> 00:00:09.435
year, and as long as he doesn't
end up on the Epstein list,

4
00:00:09.435 --> 00:00:11.735
he could coach at one
of these three places.

5
00:00:12.595 --> 00:00:14.475
The worst possible outcome

6
00:00:14.475 --> 00:00:18.035
for everybody would be
the Lost Vegas Raiders

7
00:00:18.035 --> 00:00:20.895
and then the Raiders drafting
Michigan quarterback JJ

8
00:00:20.895 --> 00:00:22.575
McCarthy in the first round.

9
00:00:22.575 --> 00:00:24.495
McCarthy isn't a first round quarterback.

10
00:00:24.495 --> 00:00:26.255
He's too small and he can't throw the ball

11
00:00:26.255 --> 00:00:27.355
further than 10 yards.

12
00:00:27.355 --> 00:00:29.855
But guess what? The
Raiders are the dumbest

13
00:00:29.855 --> 00:00:31.115
franchise in history.

14
00:00:31.115 --> 00:00:33.295
So even though Antonio
Pierce is the right choice

15
00:00:33.295 --> 00:00:36.255
for the coaching job,
the Raiders will ish up

16
00:00:36.255 --> 00:00:38.315
and hire Harbaugh Draft.

17
00:00:38.315 --> 00:00:40.245
JJ be worse off in 2024.

18
00:00:40.245 --> 00:00:44.695
Fire Harbaugh bench, JJ
rinse and repeat watch.

19
00:00:44.695 --> 00:00:46.255
- Thousands of confetti tells a story.

20
00:00:46.255 --> 00:00:48.335
There's a story in every
one of those pieces

21
00:00:48.335 --> 00:00:50.605
of competitive mason blue confetti.

22
00:00:50.605 --> 00:00:51.735
- Another landing spot

23
00:00:51.735 --> 00:00:53.935
for Harbaugh is the Los Angeles Chargers.

24
00:00:53.935 --> 00:00:56.515
They fired Coach Brandon
Staley in December,

25
00:00:56.515 --> 00:01:00.315
and in his place they promoted
Oline coach Gift Smith

26
00:01:00.315 --> 00:01:02.375
and he lost all three games he coached.

27
00:01:02.375 --> 00:01:04.765
So not a great start
to the job application.

28
00:01:04.765 --> 00:01:06.915
This is where Harbaugh comes in.

29
00:01:06.915 --> 00:01:08.715
LA gets a coach with
a winning track record

30
00:01:08.715 --> 00:01:10.915
and Harbaugh to guide star Justin Herbert

31
00:01:10.915 --> 00:01:12.485
and the rest of their young talent.

32
00:01:12.485 --> 00:01:15.095
Last but not least, the Carolina Panthers

33
00:01:15.095 --> 00:01:18.205
who had the league's worst
record at two and 15.

34
00:01:18.205 --> 00:01:20.695
They were terrible starting
the season one in 10

35
00:01:20.695 --> 00:01:23.395
and firing first year
head coach Frank Reich.

36
00:01:23.395 --> 00:01:26.535
By November, the Panthers
this week requested interviews

37
00:01:26.535 --> 00:01:27.995
with nine coaching candidates,

38
00:01:27.995 --> 00:01:29.715
but none of them were Harbaugh.

39
00:01:29.715 --> 00:01:31.565
Why is Harbaugh a good fit?

40
00:01:31.565 --> 00:01:34.595
He's got a track record of
turning losing teams around.

41
00:01:34.595 --> 00:01:36.755
He took Stanford from the
gutter to the Orange Bowl

42
00:01:36.755 --> 00:01:38.655
and won the 49 ERs.

43
00:01:38.655 --> 00:01:40.755
Were a team also floundering in the gutter

44
00:01:40.755 --> 00:01:42.895
and in his first year as
their coach, he took them

45
00:01:42.895 --> 00:01:44.385
to the Super Bowl.

46
00:01:44.385 --> 00:01:46.305
Could he do the same for the Panthers?

47
00:01:46.305 --> 00:01:49.315
Maybe crazier things
have happened, but again,

48
00:01:49.315 --> 00:01:50.775
and I'm not alleging this,

49
00:01:50.775 --> 00:01:54.015
Harbaugh Coaching in the NFL
is all contingent on whether

50
00:01:54.015 --> 00:01:56.615
or not he is or isn't
named on the Epstein list,

51
00:01:56.615 --> 00:01:58.175
which again, I'm not alleging.

52
00:01:58.175 --> 00:02:01.375
I never would. I just heard
if you mention Epstein in

53
00:02:01.375 --> 00:02:03.475
another high profile person's name,

54
00:02:03.475 --> 00:02:05.975
it gets you a recurring
Tuesday spot on one

55
00:02:05.975 --> 00:02:07.775
of ESPN's biggest shows.

56
00:02:07.775 --> 00:02:09.695
Headlines, attention and more fame.

57
00:02:09.695 --> 00:02:12.215
I am watching Aaron Rogers
get all this attention from

58
00:02:12.215 --> 00:02:14.375
alleging Jimmy Kimmel may
be on the Epstein list

59
00:02:14.375 --> 00:02:16.475
and I'm like, hold on.

60
00:02:16.475 --> 00:02:19.715
You could just do that.
Harbaugh, you're a move, dude.

61
00:02:19.715 --> 00:02:21.695
Thanks for watching. Stick with Deadspin.
