49ers owner: "performance tonight was unacceptable
Kind of an odd tweet for an owner. If it looks like the playoffs are not in the cards, given some of the bad blood, could the 49ers possibly fire Harbaugh before the end of the season? Doubtful, but that tweet probably won't sit well with him.
Couple this with what might be a big loss in 36 hours, and perhaps the stars are aligning?
Note: apologies for creating two threads in one hour relating to the cc. The first was more of an open thread to discuss and speculate, but I felt that this was thread-worthy on its own. If the mods feel differently, please delete, delete this one or consolidate both.

Fire Harbaugh
November 28th, 2014 at 12:16 AM ^
Hire Harbaugh.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:45 AM ^
So Harbaugh can Fire Borges!
November 28th, 2014 at 12:17 AM ^
But he's such a nice guy! He should get one more year...
November 28th, 2014 at 2:22 AM ^
And I was reminded of a 2014 Michigan tire fire. Harbaugh may be a perfect fit back with Michigan after all.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:16 AM ^
Free Harbaugh ....
November 28th, 2014 at 12:16 AM ^
This is super-newsworthy, more than anything thus far. I think York is trying to bait Harbaugh into quitting, thereby saving the Niners money. We might see movement by Monday...

Can't imagine Harbaugh quitting mid-season, if that's what you're getting at. I suspect he's sick of management, and any coach would be pretty peeved by that tweet, but quitting on your team in the middle of the year is never a good look. I think (and hope) he has too much integrity to do that to the guys who are playing for him. And they aren't out of contention for anything yet.
November 28th, 2014 at 3:29 AM ^
The stars are definitely beginning to align. This could, indeed, hasten the process.
November 28th, 2014 at 9:45 AM ^
I still yet may bless you with Ron English or Will Muschamp
November 28th, 2014 at 3:45 AM ^
Yes, this is newsworthy. It's not every day an owner tweets apologies to fans--and in doing so implies others lower down the chain are responsible . . . .
I'm hoping this means both (1) SF brass are considering a new direction and (2) Harbaugh enjoys SF less. If so, the timing for Michigan couldn't be better.
There's a chance!
Go Blue!
November 28th, 2014 at 10:11 AM ^
Get back to me when there's something super-duper newsworthy
November 28th, 2014 at 12:18 AM ^
Thank you #49ersfaithful for coming out strong tonight. This performance wasn't acceptable. I apologize for that

Statement was the total truth. Niners should run off Harbaugh and get the coach the front office deserves: some servile chode who will win five games next year but wax Trent Balke's car if asked.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:21 AM ^
On mobile app, so this is the closest I can get to an up-vote. On point, my boy.

I read that as "wax Trent's Balls", which could explain why Jim doesnt get along with him
November 28th, 2014 at 12:40 AM ^
Ha!! Yeah I was going to say "wax his chode," but realized I already used chode earlier in the sentence.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:52 AM ^
It's far too great an adjective, especially when used for someone so deserving:
November 28th, 2014 at 2:25 AM ^
Chode (or more commonly as I've seen it, "choad") is a noun, not an adjective.
November 28th, 2014 at 2:42 AM ^
not necessarily....
it is obviously a noun, but it could also be used to describe an action or characteristic of an individual
November 28th, 2014 at 12:27 AM ^
I know a coach who was specifically hired because he was willing to be subservient to an egomaniacal boss and who is good at winning 5 games. Hell, I think he even knows the directions by which to walk from his current locale to California.
/all in good fun. I actually like hoke a lot as a person.
November 28th, 2014 at 9:18 AM ^
Excellent use of the word chode.

on threads like this if the mods read the "mods please delete" edits and say, "don't you f**king tell me what to do."
I know I would.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:47 AM ^
I figure it's an invitation to the inevitable most of the time.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:22 AM ^
It's on, you guys.

12% chance to make the playoffs after tonight's loss.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:24 AM ^
Oh yeah, so what are you going to do tough guy, fire Jimmy? Go ahead, make our day!
November 28th, 2014 at 12:24 AM ^
As a niners fan, with tonight's beat down by Seattle and the game this Saturday,
this is officially the worst week of football ever.
November 28th, 2014 at 1:33 AM ^
Just wondering, who would you rather have Harbaugh coaching for? Niners or mich?
November 28th, 2014 at 2:25 AM ^
I grew up a niners fan, but at this rate I'd say Michigan
November 28th, 2014 at 12:27 AM ^
The Ron Paul Gif...
November 28th, 2014 at 12:30 AM ^
stat.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:28 AM ^
Never good when a owner is tweeting.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:31 AM ^
But are they really going to fire Jimmy? Just seems unlikely at this point but who the hell knows how many people he has pissed off.
November 28th, 2014 at 9:40 AM ^
It would be kind of strange, but it's so much smoke that their has to be fire. All we've been hearing all year is how Harbaugh is wearing thin with the players and he's at odds with management so I think he's gone one way or the other.
Then since Hoke's gonna be gone, he has an opening to come home and resurrect his alma mater. I think everything is setting up nicely.

November 28th, 2014 at 11:46 AM ^
I can't stop loving this!
November 28th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
is so good. I think if he comes here he won't have to worry about his boss "apologizing" for him.
I will also get super sentimental if he is on the sidelines next year. I might play that "I'm coming home" song on repeat for a month straight.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:03 PM ^
Are those Canadian geese ?
November 28th, 2014 at 12:32 AM ^
are as excited about this tweet as we are.
November 28th, 2014 at 12:36 AM ^
He will never go to the Raiders. They probably won't even be in the Bay Area Ina couple of years and they suck.
November 28th, 2014 at 1:04 AM ^
SF can trade him to Oakland. Now Jim can tell them to eff off and go back to college, but he can certainly be the head coach for the Raiders for at least a hot second.

Except even Oakland would never trade for a coach who had 1 year left on his contract. Harbaugh would have to agree to go anywhere he was traded because he would need to sign a contract extension.
November 28th, 2014 at 10:11 AM ^
and SF would never trade him to the Raiders.
