When even was the last time a HC was traded?

Belichick was traded from the Jets to the Patriots in 2000, though that was technically the Jets demanding something in return after BB left for New England. Gruden was traded to the Buccs in 2002 for a couple first round picks. Herm Edwards was traded from the Jets to the Chiefs in 2006. Holmgren from the Pacters to the Seahawks in 99. Parcells from the Patriots to the Jets in 97.

So...not likely

Yeah, doesn't happen often. But if teams will believe that we're simply on the fence about Harbaugh and it's not a guarantee that we'll just release him, they could give some offers.
Not sure if anyone saw this article from Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun. Never new that Eric DeCosta and Harbaugh don’t really have a good relationship. Also shows how Harbaugh has had some influence into the draft strategies, which has definitely yielded some of the bad picks. He’s definitely gone at the end of the season, imo

Yeah, I really think anything less than a SB and he'll be gone. I just hope we can trade him for picks. If we could get a 1st for Harbs and a 2nd or 3rd for Flacco that would be amazing.
It would but I doubt it would happen, think we get a 3rd for Flacco and maybe a 2nd for Harbaugh. Possibly get a better 2020 pick

You are way too optimistic with both I reckon.

This is a nice read. I didn’t know Eric and John weren’t close so that’s interesting. I think Preston definitely makes some guesses here but I liked the approach the article took
Maybe, we shall see

I think it will be a miracle if we get any trade offers for either, since everybody knows they are done, anyway. Joe in particular.
I think Flacco will be traded. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t.

Harbaugh will have a lot of suitors at both the pro level and college level. I can definitely see someone wanting to jump on that and get first crack at negotiating a long term deal with him.

If Vedvik kicks well again during next pre-season then I imagine we'll get some offers for him. There's some teams with really bad kickers out there that would be making a huge mistake by not trying to make a trade for Vedvik.
As for RG3, I think it's entirely possible that the Ravens declined any offers to trade him because Harbs viewed him as a great mentor for Lamar (also, in the event that Flacco got hurt early in the season then maybe they would have started RG3 instead until Lamar was ready).

So if we don't make the playoffs, Is Harbaugh gone?
Today's Baltimore Sun article said he is not close to the new GM ,DeCosta .

Definitely a reasonable response and totally understandable
I didn’t either and that was pretty telling, if you ask me.

I don't think you need to have a close relationship between GM and HC to be successful. I only consider this a problem if they can't find common ground. I am still thinking Flacco has been the problem for the last couple of seasons.
