One national championship, and he's bolting?

Maybe Harbaugh is trying to drum up some interest in this year's Stanford-USC game. We know it won't be interesting on the field.

just wait until you hear what harbaugh says about that damn tree mascot.

Why would Carroll even bother? Iron-fisted control of a football program, tons of money, all the attention in an NFL-less market, and tons of co-ed hotties who think you're a god.

I'll believe it when he sits in front of a camera and accepts another job.

"It might surprise you, but I have certain obligations with the Song Girls that won't let me leave."

-Pete Carroll

What, 8 threads too late?

Fear not USC fans, Rich Kotite is available.

@TomDaddyDollars: Or interest in Stanford from recruits "You don't want to go to USC Carroll will be gone before you even get to campus, me I'll be your coach all 4 years."

That or its the PTSD from being coached by Bo and Ditka all those years.

Jim Harbaugh better watch his back. I don't think that he realizes yet that Ditka is bringing in Mike Tomczak to training camp to compete with Harbaugh for the starting coaching job.

@buwolverine:

Man, I remember when Ditka just tore into him on the sidelines after throwing a interception against the Vikings. It was awesome.

Carroll is bolting for Duke, after seeing the "friends" you can make if you have access to tickets. Does Duke even have a football team?

"If he's going to make statements like that, he ought to get his information right," Carroll told the Times. "And if he has any questions about it he should call me."

Can you read between the lines here, people? Snitches get stiches. That's all I'm saying here.

Harbaugh is slightly off...I really shouldn't know this, but he made some very off-the-wall comments while he was head coach at USD...and if you're spouting crazy at a non-scholarship I-AA school, you'll spout crazy as Head Coach of the Fightin' Spruce Trees.

Is it a bad sign that Ryan Leaf is now USC's golf coach?

CBS Sportsline Reporter: Where do you think Carroll will go?
Harbaugh: I AM THE BANANA GOD!

@GlenAndersonLikesBoys: Yes, but affluent white folks call it "Lacrosse."

@The Gentleman Masher: He's an ass. He used to go to bars in San Diego just to look for football players, whom he forbade from drinking.

This reminds me of when the lead singer of the Von Bondies started talking all sorts shit about Jack White.

Oh no...he's drinking again. Someone get the phone number for that A&E Invervention show.

@GlenAndersonLikesBoys: Steve Spurrier's first ballot of the year would like to have a word with you.

Duke lacrosse ... thats a team no one's ever heard of.

OK, this has me worried that if Jimmy Harbaugh does at all well at the Farm, they're going to want to look at him as Lloyd's heir, and well, we do curmudgeonly around here, but crazy?

Oh and Jim, honestly, if alma mater comes calling, you're staying at Stanford for 20 years?

@Yostal: When Stanford wins 5 national championships in a row, you will most assuredly bow down before us.

Shit, I'm out of crack again. Anyone got the Playmaker's number?

Pete the Cheat loves to negative recruit. Nice to see someone with the cajones to tweak him the papers. At the very least, Harbaugh will provide the Pac-10 with some much needed laughs. He's already shown more personality in one interview than Karl Dorrell has shown in four seasons. What do you want to bet he figures out how to beat UCLA a couple of times, too.

@ Yostal: Don't worry about Harbaugh doing well at the Farm. My esteemed alma mater only won one game last year, and I'm convinced that that bone was thrown to us by Tyrone up at Washington as one last thank you. Shoot, our best recruit is the #1 ranked KICKER in the nation. And even that's a hollow victory because the weenies at Cal got the #2 ranked kicker. When does the Lopez twins' sophomore season start again?

@Stev D: LOLZ
