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.

And he would not go to them either even if his wife does like NorCal. 1) tire fire 2) team may be moving who knows where anyways 3) tire fire 4) better jobs available 5) tire fire 6) did I say a tire fire even JH can't fix ? The only plus side is he would have CWood

This isn't as crazy as people think. This is the NFL equivalent of coming home to save the day. And JH is pretty good with qb's.

Jay Cutler doesn't need a better quarterback coach. He needs a better head on his shoulders.

The Bears would never hire Harbaugh, nor him go to the Bears, b/c the McCaskeys are complete blithering idiots and would never turn over the control to Harbaugh that he'd want. They are penny-pinching morons who think b/c they have Halas genes in their blood or on their relatives' marriage certificates that they can run a football team well. The degree of control Jimmy would want simply would never fly in Halas Hall and it's not ever going to happen there.
As a Bears fan I lament b/c having a Bo- and Ditka-trained coach would be pure Monsters of the Midway Madness.
But like the Redskins and Raiders, some teams will simply never really be able to achieve lasting greatness without ridding themselves of the owner. I think it's why the Lions are now annually competitive, b/c Ford finally was excised from control a few years ago.

I'm waiting for some dick to say "Ugh do we really want some coach that can't even make the playoffs"...

If it's so damned unacceptable, fire him so that we can get started over here.

It's not unlike the Jerry Jones phenomena where owners and GM's start to believe that because they bring in players, or own the team that they are responsible for the on-field product.
You can see how that's favored Jones since Jimmy Johnson departed.
This would be the York/Balke destiny going forward.

If the SF players and management want Harbaugh gone, they're a bunch of spoiled brats who won't know how good they had it until he's gone. I'm a Bucs fan, and if I wasn't such a huge Michigan fan, I'd kill to have Harbaugh come to Tampa. So will the Giants, Jets, Bills, Raiders, Dolphins, and maybe the Falcons. That's not even including Michigan.
Perhaps SF would rather go back to the way things were before Harbaugh showed up: a decade of complete irrelevance and ineptitude. Regardless of wherever Harbaugh ends up next year, be it with us or some other NFL team, I will refuse to feel sorry for the 49ers when they fall apart and go 5-11.

For all the great stuff that Kaepernick does this loss is squarely on him. He seems to have plateued in his improvement and skill level. Last year they were able to skate by in the regular season on his arm and unleash his legs in the playoffs. Saving his legs this season may not be such a great idea if they don't ever get to use them.
November 28th, 2014 at 2:38 AM ^
But Kaepernick not being the sharpest tool in the box is their biggest.

They replay Seattle in Seattle in 2 weeks. The San Fran team that goes there and lays an egg should definitely fire their coach IMO. But I'm biased!

I did not make it. However I will take credit for cutting and pasting it into as many Harbaugh threads as possible.

Harbuagh isn't going to quit mid-season. He will leave at the end of the season to go back to Michigan, where he belongs.
November 28th, 2014 at 7:08 AM ^
we have as much of a chance at getting Jim Harbaugh as we do Nick Saban, Jim Tressel, or Bill Belicheck. People here need to move on.

Harbaugh, on the other hand, isn't in a great position with the niners and was great in college. Much higher probability. Especially given Schlissel is an academic guy and Harbaugh coached at Stanford.
November 28th, 2014 at 9:30 AM ^
Nick Saban will coach anywhere, that has been proven.
He would be a fool to leave Alabama for anywhere outside the SEC where he can continue to over recruit. You can't do that in the BIG.
November 28th, 2014 at 9:39 AM ^
Don't think that's true any more.
