That would sour me too. Hell, that would sour anyone. Even Kirk's dad.
b. We are going to sign as many of the soon to be FAs from the (can't win a playoff game) Packers.
E. We really believe you will bring us a title, John.
H. Let us show you our Super Bowl trophy case.
I. We want Mike Pettine as your DC
J . You play Ohio State once a year. We play the Packers twice a year.
@skully posted:What happened during this meeting? What could they have possibly said to Harbaugh that soured his chances with the Vikings.
a. We're sticking with Cousins
From what I heard yesterday they were asking Harbaugh questions and his answers were all over the place. Meandering, sometimes non-sensical with no clear answer. In other words, he Harbaughed himself out of a job.
It's been great fun the last couple of days listening to PA try to spin this story in the vikings favor. We all know the truth. Harbaugh decided he wanted nothing to do with that pathetic franchise.

J+ - it’l take you 6 years to beat them and win the division outright, but once you do, you’ll be hailed as one of the “great coaches”. May even get an extension. Of course, you’ll get waxed/underachieve in the playoffs, but that’s okay. It’s expected. And no expectation to win the SB. Everyone knows that’s a pipe dream.
What’dya say, Jim?
There was a time about 25 years ago when Michigan was consistently better than O$U. I view Michigan the same as U$C. Get a good coach, recruit the shit out of the key areas like So Cal and Texas and Florida and the Tidewater area and you can be a top notch program once again.
The problem i see with the NFL is meddling or moronic owners that want to micromanage their business. In college, if you are good, you call the shots. Yes you have to deal with boosters and agents but that’s a lot easier than having to take orders from a Jimmy Haslem.
The Wilfs employ what, like half their family in the front office? Good for them. If I’m Harbaugh, F the Vikings.
If you're Harbaugh, you have a closet full of tan khakis.

According to PA, Ed Donatell is the favorite to be the vikings new DC,
I actually liked Donatell as coordinator for the Pack, but he had to be sacrificed as the culprit for the 4th and 26 debacle vs. the Eagles. The Packers’ D got much worse in 2004 after letting him go. I’m not saying he was ever great, but he was at least decent.

So Pettine and Capers declined their job offers?

But not as DC...
So, everyone here in MN was expecting Kevin O'connell today, but it hasn't happened. Wonder if he's having 2nd thoughts. I wouldn't blame him.....
If McVay retires, O'Connell the favorite to be HC...and the Vajeens are back to square one.
SKOLOLOLOLOL.......
McVay's not retiring after first SB win unless that team is about to be gutted. I don't know anything about the state of its roster but losing a bunch of top tier guys could certainly persuade him given his recent comments about family.
He will go the John Madden route eventually, retiring relatively young to do other things.
He's got a Gruden personality to him. I'd be surprised if he took a break from coaching now, though. I could see him doing it once Stafford is done in LA.

So they’ve got Donatell and Pettine, maybe they’ll also go after Bob Slowik, Jim Bates, and the DOMinator too? 😛
Isn't Dominic the Packer Playoff Donkey employed as a senior consultant somewhere?
Now official. Good luck with that
@RapSheet: The #Vikings announce several assistant coach hires, including Ed Donatell as defensive coordinator, Mike Pettine as assistant head coach for Kevin O’Connell, and Chris O’Hara as QBs coach.
Chris O'Hara, modeling new Vikings coaches uniform:
Watching the new Lincoln doc on History Channel and came across this visual that I’m embarrassed to say I never really knew about. It explains a lot.
