Harbaugh & JJ McCarthy a package deal?

The most important thing is to get a guy who CAN coach... a head coach is an entirely different gig than being a coordinator (offense or defense).  And when I think about it, it's also an entirely different gig to go from being a positional coach to being a coordinator (just see Getsy as the poster boy for that).  And even if you go with a veteran coach as your HC, it's not a slam dunk there that he will be good either.  Belichick needs to retire.  John Fox sure wasn't a good HC when we hired him here either.  Just old dudes in decline.  I wonder about Jim Harbaugh too.  He is doing well as a college HC right now, and has been good in the NFL too.  But he may, or may not, be a good HC in the NFL now.  I mean, it's not a slam dunk he is going to be good here now.  Could be.  But who knows, right?

Getting a good QB1 and a good HC and coordinators is hard.  Real hard to get right.
