is it bad to cheer against Harbaugh in San Fran for him to miss the playoffs?

Submitted by The Wolverine … on
Who else is cheering for SF to tank this season and miss the playoffs to have Jim Harbaugh available earlier then January? Where will Jim end up? Stays in SF, comes to Michigan, Oakland, NY Jets or Giants? Here is an article I just came across http://nypost.com/2014/11/22/fiery-49ers-coach-harbaugh-no-slam-dunk-ch…

Don't forget about the Cowboys who will probably beat the Giants tonight. They've got a manageable schedule and will have a good shot at getting a spot. It's those 4 teams for 2 spots...lets go lions, Seahawks and ucccchhh Cowboys (I'm a Giants fan, but Michigan comes before the Giants)

It's only bad if we as a fan base come out and start making a big roar about wanting San Fran to lose games. This might rub Jim the wrong way. I can't imagine that it would make him feel good to hear such things. So let's keep it to ourselves even if some of us do feel that way. Just quietly root against San Fran, but don't make it a big deal in our blog discussions.

This could be another epic 49's collapse!  Please!!!  Let it be! 

For Denard's sake!  For Bo's sake!  Please let SF go down in flames again, inexplicably, against a poor Redskins team!

He doesn't treat his players like pros. He treats them like college players and keeps close tabs on them.

I know this will get lost in the shuffle, but, Harbaugh will be our next coach. GarunSheed!

Stuff just seems to add up. I don't have 'inside' sources. I know a few ppl in SF and a writer or two in that area. I have a few tidbits that will come out in the next few weeks that will help clear a few things up. It's not concrete 'He is coming!' Evidence...but more, 'hmmmm, that's interesting and it makes sense' evidence.

I'd say it's like 70% happening. With the field getting the other 30%.

Neg me all you want...I'm not The Knowledge...but i guess we'll all see.

I am rooting against San Fran only to the point they just miss the playoffs.  Some heartbreaking (lol) wins the past few weeks like beating NO in a game it looked like NO was going to win. 

It looks like Seattle has finally exited their post SB win funk so I expect loser of AZ/SEA to get 1 wild car spot.  Unfortunately you cannot rely on DET to do anything right in pro football so assuming GB wins the north, and then either PHI or DAL win the East.  So its basically going to be DET v loser of PHI/DAL v SF for that last WC spot.   SF is on a 3 game winning streak and DET a 2 game losing streak.  SF schedule firms up from here while DETs gets easier.

So I am more rooting for PHI, DAL, DET than rooting against SF but I wouldnt mind a fluky loss here or there to give breathing room.  Not that it will change "the decision" but allow for said decision to happen in first week of January one way or the other.

Coaches like Harbaugh are great for college and bad for the pros.  They are perfect for college because they only have players for four or five years.  By the time a player really wants to hate Harbaugh, the player is a senior and is treated as a leader.  Once the player is an alum, he is treated like a friend and forgets that he ever felt like hating his coach.  

In the pros it manifests as "losing the locker room" after three, four or five years.  In college, it wouldn't be a problem.  Harbaugh's "abrasiveness" would be seen as part of his legend if he came back to his alma mater and started winning the occasional National Championship.

He just needs an AD who stays out of the way.

If anyone heard the 49ers post game conference Harbaugh quoted a few lines of Bo's infamous speech. As soon as I heard it, I knew where it came from. The NFL talking heads did not catch. My lord, there is not a better fit for our problem. Give me Harbaugh or give me death.

I don't want SF to implode, but I'd like to see them go something like 9-7 to 11-5 and just barely miss the playoffs. But we'll need an answer from him as soon as possible, and obviously him going to the playoffs potentially derails any chances we have of getting him. At some point, we just need a coach, period, and we might not be able to afford waiting well into January for him to lose and then make a decision. I hope he coaches his last game with the 49ers on Dec. 28th, and then is standing at the podium at Schembechler Hall on New Year's Day, and proclaims to the Michigan faithful that "the losing stops now."

Please, football gods. Michigan has suffered enough. OSU got its football savior. MSU got theirs. We need ours.

The good news is they won't make the playoffs. The lions have 4 gimme games before losing the final game in Lambeau. GB may win out but I see a chance of losing one against Pats. The Eagles and Cowboys will each win 3 games each in their last 5 and will be at least 11 game winners. (From looking at their match ups left on their schedule) that means that in the NFC the West division will send one team to the playoffs. SF still has 2 match ups w Seattle and a game against Arizona left in their final 5 games and need to make up a 2 game disadvantage. Statistically they are already done. Pack your bags Harbaugh and just tell us already where you're going to coach next year!

You guys really need to get re considering of who you going to hire as HC. Jim Harbaugh is not leaving NFL for Michigan. Now if he miss the playoff, He not getting fired by San Franscisco, Look at his Record. John Harbaugh is not leaving the NFL for Michigan. Les Miles is not leaving SEC and LSU for Michigan. Give it rest.

 I bet you those three will turn down michigan offer. Then who are you going to get as head coach?

Well i'm no prophet and can't predict who will be the new UM Coach, but damn you should be the team's new equipment manager.  Just think of all the money we can shave off the AD budget by leaving out letters, all s's, and even entire words from our jerseys???

I thought it was with ownership.  Look, the #1 reason we want him is that he is a winner and he knows how to transfer that concept to others. Something we have not seen for a very long time at M.  To hope for his team to lose is sort of like a really extreme case of power-braking.  There are probably less couth analogies I could raise here but I am trying to clean it up after my F-fest yesterday.

I want Harbs to  win everywhere he goes, including here. And, I hope SF's ownership is a big enough ASS CLOWN such that Harbs gives them the finger.  If we are hoping for him to somehow be a loser, so he can come here and be a winner, we are in trouble.  Hence my original point.

We like him because he is winner. Hoping for a winner to lose is a losing proposition. The fact that this is even a semi viable topic of conversation is because he to seems to have a beef with someone or vice versa.  Who cares?  He needs to keep winning, and hopefully he needs to come here.

What are the odds the Bears fire Trestman?  That is the one NFL job I could see Harbaugh really wanting, because he seemed to look up to Ditka almost as much as Bo.
