At the time of that writing, there were simply rumors and speculation that Harbaugh may want to make a return to the NFL. A funny thing happened over the weekend, though, and Jim Harbaugh officially interviewed with the Minnesota Vikings regarding their vacant head coaching position.
So, as the kids say, “THIS JUST GOT REAL.”
And I plead with you, Mr. Stephen Ross, you cannot let Jim Harbaugh go to the Minnesota Vikings and be their next head coach. Not when the Miami Dolphins are currently in need of a head coach.
This current Dolphins head coaching search has been anything but smooth. The other day I wrote about how it is a search the likes I have not seen before where the Dolphins have made it impossible to attract a quality candidate.
But Jim Harbaugh being in play is a game-changer.

Throw all the papers off the desk and wipe the slate clean.
-
Do you make Jim Harbaugh keep the defensive coaching staff? NO!
-
Do you make Jim Harbaugh work with Chris Grier as his GM? Only if he wants to.
-
Do you force Jim Harbaugh to have Tua as his QB in 2022? You let Harbaugh make that call.
You write a blank check, you give him full power, and you get the hell out of his way!
I know some Dolphins fans will say they don’t want Jim Harbaugh or they will bring up his record in Bowl Games or his record vs. Ohio State to try and diminish him as a head coach.
Look people, if you compare the outcome of games in college he coached with 19-year-old kids to his proven track record in the NFL, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Well, I do know what to tell you and that is you are clueless!
Bill Walsh won multiple Super Bowls with the 49ers and left and became the head coach at Stanford, where over three years he went 17-17. Does that mean he wasn’t a good NFL head coach and his record with the 49ers is diminished because of what he did later at Stanford?
It’s foolish to compare NFL results to college results when looking at a head coach.
Now, if Harbaugh is leaving Michigan to return to the NFL, what is going to get in way of Stephen Ross from getting his man? The Minnesota Vikings?
THE VIKINGS? No offense to the Vikings as I know in recent years they have been superior to our Dolphins both on and off the field, but at this moment in time Miami cannot lose out to the Vikings. Not this battle.
Nope, no way, it can’t happen. Miami can’t lose Harbaugh to Minnesota.
Minnesota can offer Harbaugh a lot, but Miami must find a way to offer him more. And not just in terms of money, I am talking about in terms of flexibility, power, and control.
Stephen Ross cannot let a “collaborative culture” vision prevent him from landing one of the better football coaches out there today.

Stephen Ross must stop the madness, jump in, and give Harbaugh what he wants.
Ross has a relationship with Harbaugh. He chased him in 2011 and tried to hire him then. He was in part responsible for him coming to Michigan, and let’s be frank; he pretty much Ross pays his Michigan contract with his donations.
Jim Harbaugh is everything the Miami Dolphins need right now in a head coach. Offensive-minded, experienced, and with a proven track record.
The time for playing games is over.
You can’t lose Jim Harbaugh to the Minnesota Vikings of all teams.
CLOSE THE DEAL AND BRING HARBAUGH TO MIAMI
The Vikings were7-9 last year & 8-9 this year, how does that translate as superior?
They were in the NFC Championship game a couple of years ago. They are battling for a playoff spot almost every year. You want to go back the past 15-20 years and put their resume next to Miami’s and see who is better? Trust me it isn’t close, the Vikings are superior.
No offense to the dolphins but all they have is good weather the Vikings have way more talent than they do and are closer to a super bowl than they are it’s pretty easy choice
Well from what I’ve read and hearing on social media if Ross hires Jim Harbaugh as miami HC burrow better make this SB count because miami will be ther for yhe next 10yrs it will make miami the team to beat in afc that’s a fact GO PHINS!!!!!🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬 ALWAYS FOREVER A PHINSFAN HAVE BEEN SINCE 1983 🙏🙏🙏 WE GET HARBAUGH 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ok lets be honest here. The dolphins have nothing to offer Jim other then money. The vikings have good receivers, can run the ball, has a experienced quarterback that can manage and keep u in a game, and a decent defense. The fins have none of that. If u know anything about the dolphins u know its true. If Jim did leave Michigan it should be to Minnesota. But he should stay at Michigan and run it back and show hes a great coach. This aint ment to make anyone upset its just truth. GO BLUE 4EVER
