Jed York throws Harbaugh under the bus

[wlvrnstlr4life]

York tweets to the SanFran faithful apologizing to them and then saying the performance was unacceptable. Who is this guy, Al Davis. They've gone to the NFC championship game 3 years in a row. They were pure shit before Harbaugh got there. Thats unprofessional to say the least. I think its safe to say Jimmy will not be in San Fran next year.

I just worry he finds a better job. Either still in the NFL or an SEC team.

I worry about tht too

I hope,are back channels re working to see what he wants

Why is coaching at an SEC team better? The SEC is so overrated its disgusting. Pre rankings influenced by ESPN has a lot of people fooled.

Well unless Les Miles leaves LSU, Mark Richt suddenly gets canned or Spurrier retires for some reason, the only SEC job is Florida.

Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News believes this is likely the beginning of the end of the Harbaugh tenure in San Francisco.

"The only logical reason: York wanted to prepare 49ers fandom for major changes ahead, and let’s all assume that York’s main focus is on Harbaugh’s future.

York and general manager Trent Baalke set this up, intentionally or not, by tacitly suggesting that this was an all-or-nothing season for Harbaugh.

That inflated the conversation about Harbaugh’s future, that trickled into the locker room, that created a sense of doubt about this team if it faltered and now Seattle has opened up the divide for everyone to see.

The 49ers are falling short and that probably means Harbaugh’s time with the 49ers is ticking down.

On Saturday, Michigan meets Ohio State in Columbus for what many believe will be Brady Hoke's last game as head coach of the Wolverines. Harbaugh has long believed to have been the top candidate from not only a fan standpoint, but from those behind the scenes as well. The fracturing of his relationship with San Francisco ownership and management will only serve to heat that talk up as the regular season nears its end with both the Wolverines and 49ers looking unlikely to play any post-season football.

Nothing we don't already know but story advancing along...

I hope people are starting to realize the Harbaugh "issues" in SF have a lot to do with the fact that SF's front office is bush league. Please let him be Michigan's next coach.

Oh I don't know, the NY Post is sort of the standard in journalism.


What's that?

Oh right, NY Times, I mean.

 

[wlvrnstlr4life]

Its just a shitty thing to do. I couldnt imagine the Rooneys(like the Fords with any coach)doing that to Tomlin or Cowher for that matter when the Steelers would have a down year. Shit, they missed the playoffs 3 years in a row and had 2 6 and 10 seasons. I wouldnt want to coach there after Jimmy is done. Unless you're licking boots, your record dont matter. Screw that.

 

[tigersofjustice]

Harbaugh to Michigan. Just makes too much sense for both sides assuming he gets dropped by the 49ers.

Jom will have his choice of jobs. I honestly believe he is better suited for college. In college by the time a player is sick of him they graduate. Where as in the pros you will have players for more years. I worry that his ego will keep him in the NFL.

If one could mesh the two then spinoff one really good and one really bad paper...

The good would be nonexistent and the bad would be like reading them both as they are.

I dont think there is a difference where he is suited for best. Jim is a great coach any way you slice it. The locker room stuff is bs because the upper management is undercutting Jim. This creates all kinds of bullshit. As far people being sick of Jim after a certain amount of time, I think that stuff doesnt hold water. The only people, if they are any good, that stick around more than 4 years anyway are quarterbacks and running backs. And running backs is almost stretching it. Players rarely stick around for more than 4-5 years anyway with contracts ending and whatnot. Pittsburgh is a prime example of this. Same quarterback but lots of different parts every other year.

I'll also add this: when players are sick of a coach and the coach is a good one, the player or players are/is the one /ones headed out the door. NY Giants anyone? Remember when Coughlin was getting flack from the players for being too much of a dick(not putting up with anyone's shit)? They said see you later to a couple of the guys that werent buying in. And now Coughlin is 2 Super Bowl wins later. There will be plenty of teams clamoring for Jim when this is over. I really hope he comes to Michigan, but I just dont see it happening unless its an offer he just cant refuse.

FYI: Jed York was born and raised in Youngstown and went to ND. Seems like a natural Michigan hater. Not sure what that could imply, but it seems ripe for conspiracy theory.

 

[erg57]

Jed york. His name sounds like "muck fichigan"

 

[gobluebigjon]

Come home Jim.

And? They pump out the most nfl talent, win the most NC's and always have great rivalry games. Not to mention the media adores and shields them...from everything. Why would a coach not want to go there?

 

[rumseyhouse77]

If JH is ready to settle he'll come home to Michigan. I have no doubt he will be successful at Michigan. He has already shown that he can win at a similar school (Stanford) with high academic standards. If he comes to Michigan he will have a job for the rest of his career if he wants it. The only real question is whether or not he is ready for that or does he still want to try at the pro level.

 

[tigersofjustice]

I think there is still a certain allure to Michigan. Somebody like Harbaugh I think would see it as a program that has only been down for a handful of years and see what it was when Lloyd Carr left and think that he has the stuff to bring it back. He basically took Stanford up from nothing and he'd be working with a lot more at Michigan.

 

[Gulo Blue]

Michigan remembers and celebrates its history. I don't follow the pros enough to compare, but if you can coach a team to victory, and you want your legacy to be remembered, Michigan is a pretty attractive place to be.
