He also might think the Flores lawsuit could blow things up in general, leaving him in limbo

Theres definitely some irony to the 'oh my god I can't believe an owner would incentivize losing' when the NFLs draft structure litterally incentivizes losing.

Maybe they need to go to that draft wheel model that the NBA threw out a couple years ago. When I first read about it I thought this is ridiculous, but honestly I've warmed up to the idea.

The guy is easy to hate but Harbaugh to the Vikings would have potentially been scary.

Well I mean considering this is an owners issue (the people he works for) and he's gonna be the one that takes the heat off them is why he'll survive

So Hue Jackson is basically admitting he took bonus money to tank? I mean, you aren't exactly a whistle blower if you were willing complying.

Hue trying to explain his 11-44 record that he was just following orders (while taking the cash) Now he's trying to cash in again by riding Flore's coattails. Hue can GTFO

I don't really care about Hue's motives in all this. The "NFL and NFL Commish knew and covered it up" line though... Not sure how that isn't getting talked about enough.

So Harbaugh was visiting the Vikings on national signing day?? This guy just needed to feel relevant for his ego and this is the kind of **** you get with him. Think about how devastating that could be for the Michigan program, what a dick.

Would there have been some frantic phone calls to and from potential Michigan signees?

If you are the program, you would be irate.
If you were a blue chip recruit, you would be irate.
If you were some kind of big booster, you would be irate.
If you were Harbaugh, you would just soak up the loosh like the energy vampire you are.

Teams tank all the time. In all sports. Coaches are "encouraged" to lose. It's the reason the NBA has a lottery. Perhaps the NFL should do the same.

He was on Russillo's pod this week and touched on this. Interesting conversation about lots of things. He mentions how all that losing f-d him up to the point of seeing a phycologist. We as fans can advacate for our teams to lose/tank (and getting high draft picks is good) but there is a toll it takes on the players and franchise as a whole.
