If I was Jim Harbaugh, I would be deciding between staying at Michigan and taking the job in Washington D.C.
With a new ownership team that has a championship track record in other sports, an obvious willingness to tear down the team and start over, $78M in Cap space and the 2nd pick in the draft, it’s an intriguing opportunity. The ownership also displayed patience by waiting until after the season to fire Ron Rivera. And trading their two defensive ends shows a lon-term strategic mindset - setting the team up to tank this season to get a higher pick, and clear the books of pending big salaries.
The new ownership has done everything right so far to set the team up for a complete rebuild. That would be attractive to me as a coach - if they would also commit to being patient during the rebuild process.
As much as I don’t want Washington to be a challenge to the Cowboys, I have a strong feeling that their decades of irrelevance under Dan Snyder have come to an end. I expect Washington to be a contender within the next 3 seasons - if they get the right coach.
