This is an interesting theory and hopium. They went on to say how Harbs said in his presser that he’s planning on GRo being here this upcoming season, he be sure to mention how things aren't written in stone. That its the plan, but you never know kind of thing.
The two scenarios they can see play out for GRo to leave:
1. Rumors of Jim Harbs returning to the NFL is heating up. What if Jim wants to bring the old band back together wherever he goes. Our good friend, Vic Fangio is looking for a new gig. What if John and Jim made a gentlemen's (or brothers in the case) agreement. "Since im taking back MacDonald, you can take back GRo."
2. (this one I actually like) Is that John Harbs and company are waiting to see who's available after all the HC vacancy gets filled. Lets say someone like Doug Pederson misses out on this HC cycle. Would he be willing to become the OC in the meantime?
Now I know both are probably not going to happen, but I would've been thrilled to see us hire someone like Pederson. He was with the Eagles back when Harbs coached there, so check that criteria off lol
Just hopium for the offszn until the draft. Anything's possible -KG
