You write: "Yes, college coaches have had a hard time being successfully in the NFL but when you have a track record like Harbaugh and the fact that the Miami Dolphins were willing to interview him for their head coaching position even though they had Tony Sporano under contract shows how highly regarded he is in the eyes of NFL teams" Umm, don't you think guys like Steve Spurrier and Bobby Petrino (among many others) had a 'tack record' like Harbaugh's and were 'highly regarded' by NFL teams, like Jim Harbaugh? Answer: Yes! And they failed in spectactular fashion as NFL HC's. And (again) if you knew the history of the NFL you would know that virtually ALL college HC's turned NFL HC's fail (see Holtz, Spurier, Petrino among many, many others). That's all. I hope Jim does well in SF, but I'm just using things like HISTORY and FACTS and LOGIC to completely dismiss the authors assertions, which is this: Because Jim Harbaugh was a HC in college and Mikes Nolan and Singletary had never been HC's at any level, then he has a better chance to succeed in the NFL than those guys. NONSENSE! Umm, (AGAIN) look at some the BEST college HC's (like Petrino and Spurrier) and watch how totally inept they were in the NFL and then you will understand. One (success in college as a HC) has NOTHING to do with (potential) success as a HC in the NFL. Get it? (If not, you should. It's simple facts & history & logic)! Yes, (AGAIN) he is experienced at the COLLEGE level, not at the NFL level.

Umm, don’t you think guys like Steve Spurrier and Bobby Petrino (among many others) had a ‘tack record’ like Harbaugh’s and were ‘highly regarded’ by NFL teams, like Jim Harbaugh?

But there is an NFL lockout and the 49ers either go with David Carr, a rookie quarterback, any of the quarterbacks listed in the post or Alex Smith. I agree with you what you said about McNabb, Young, Hasselbeck and Bulger but I would take any of them rather than the 49ers using their 7th pick on a rookie quarterback or going with Carr or Smith. I think Harbaugh might be able turn Smith around but why take the chance? After last season I am now in the Smith is a draft bust column. If a chance will be taken next year I would rather it be a proven NFL quarterback even if he old, washed up, a headcase or prone to injury. If Harbaugh with his great knowledge of offense could turn Smith around he very well could do the same with McNabb, Young, Hasselbeck or Bulger. Any four of those are a one year fix, not a long term fix. In an ideal world there would be no NFL lockout and the 49ers would trade for Kevin Kolb (49ers Should Trade for Kevin Kolb).
