He'd probably be most people's #1 choice if they viewed him as a realistic option. Fwiw, I can't envision a strong personality like Harbaugh getting along with Mike Brown. Talk about oil and water.
I completely agree about mixing with Mike Brown...He would be the most outspoken and controversial guy here since Sam Wyche. That is a part of the reason I want him. It helps Brown answer the conservative criticism. It would also draw National media coverage, which is something Brown usually would shy away from. With Katie and Troy doing a great deal of the heavy lifting now, I think they could see those characteristics as strengths. Remember, they still want to sell tickets.
As far as Harbaugh leaving Michigan, I am not so sure. I think it grates on him that his brother has a Super Bowl ring, which he won against him. I will never underestimate the man's drive. If he came to the Bengals and won a Super Bowl, they would be putting him on the Mount Rushmore of Greatest Coaches of All Time. The only thing as great as his drive is his ego.
I know it probably has less than a 1% chance of happening, but he is exactly what I want: Energy, creative, no-nonsense. The anti-Marv.
