The Las Vegas Raiders are one of the other teams that have expressed interest in signing Jim Harbaugh. But this report comes with its own set of repercussions. Antonio Pierce, the interim coach for the Raiders, is one of the leading contenders for the job and is an obvious fan favorite. As such, the news of him being replaced by Harbaugh wasn’t taken too kindly by the Raiders’ fans. Additionally, Maxx Crosby, the DE for the Raiders, has said that he will be pursuing a trade request if Pierce isn’t assigned as the next head coach. Thus, with all these situations arising from Harbaugh’s potential transfer, the fans are getting a bit impatient with the lack of clarity in his words.
Harbaugh hasn’t yet made a decision as the world of college football desperately waits for an answer
Jim Harbaugh has conquered the peak of college football. He spent 9 years with the Michigan Wolverines and has collected several accolades with the team. But with the sign-stealing controversies staining his legacy with the NCAA, it looks like his move to the NFL would be the best decision for his career. Though he’s being constantly bombarded with these inquiries, he didn’t have a lot to say in his recent statement.
Harbaugh said, “I just want to enjoy this. I hope you give me that. Can a guy have that? Does it always have to be what’s next, what’s the future? Like I said the other day, I hope to have a future. I hope there’s a tomorrow, a day after tomorrow, a next week, a next month, a next year.” Thus, the Michigan coach hasn’t given the fans a stick to bite yet but we’re all collectively hoping that an official announcement comes soon.
