re: Schefter reporting Chip is gone from Philly.

It's a bitch with the timing on a pro coach. Michigan did almost everything right last year and still had NFL insiders and message board heros doubting Harbaugh until the very end. This board would go bonkers if a coach isn't signed for another six weeks. I'm sure people will say it would be worth the wait, but you never know if the thing is going to fall through and/or the guy gets a better offer elsewhere. It's extremely risky to go into January without your guy locked up.
