[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1090226, member: 17987"] Further, I would add... if the organization was happy and willing to pay Matt his "market rate" (which I am sure he is asking for), it would already be done by now. So we can likely say with some degree of confidence: 1. The team doesn't intend to just fire him outright 2. The team doesn't intend to pay him market rate / without reservations And as such we should be able to reasonably conclude that: 1. The team wants to ultimately extend LaFleur, but with reservations - they will need him to come down from his desired deal before they're willing to continue 2. The team is intending to trade and is either actively shopping for offers, playing it slow and waiting for offers to arrive, or in the process of working out a deal It does *seem* at least that there is some degree of hesitation on the team's part. One would think that if the team were absolutely convinced LaFleur was the guy to lead them to the Super Bowl they would not have much to quibble over with regards to salary. If you want to pay 10m and LaFleur wants 12m, 15m...wouldn't you be okay with paying an extra 2-5m/yr if you were convinced it would bring home the Lombardi? I do also note that there's still been relatively little activity yet from anyone else (besides firings, I mean). Harbaugh seems to be the "big prize" for many but he is being rather slow and selective. I do wonder if other teams aren't in any rush to get anything done as they're first keeping an eye on the "LaFleur-situation"? Ironically, Hafley is probably a factor too. If he leaves for a HC job, we will obviously need a new DC. But it's tough to convince a coordinator to join when your HC is on the tail end of his contract. So we would need clarity at HC in all likelihood before replacing our DC, too. [/QUOTE]
