Everytime the offensive coaching staff completely fails at using the guys he drafts, it shrinks a little more.....no wonder he's so mad all the time.

Also I think it's hypocritical of someone who is "pro Harbaugh" to say "FIRE ROMAN NOW" when in reality this is Jim's offense.
I don't think most fans pay enough attention to know that Harbaugh and Roman are tied at the hip. Hell, I don't KNOW that. This is the general perception, but it's not necessarily true. I'd like to see Harbaugh change his offensive approach and stay with the team, but evidently, that's not going to happen. But most fans who aren't obsessing all week long and paying that much attention are just like "They're getting rid of Harbaugh? Why would they do that?"

I mistakenly thought there MUST be something more to it than is in the articles.
Guess not though.
I find it un-real that a team would let a successful coach go over personality differences. Or even a bad offensive coaching staff. I mean, 3 NFC championship games in 4 years is unreal. I would LOVE to have that.
Could be a situation where you get another Mike Nolan and REALLYYYY want that a-hole back.
Originally posted by judodono:I heard, and believe, it's simply a pride thing. The beef goes back to our Super Bowl. Harbaugh wanted a contract extension then and asked for it. He was denied.
This off season he was approached with an offer to renegotiate- and this time he denied. Apparently the bridge was burnt and only got worse.

The agreement that the parties came to in late November was that Harbaugh couldn't commit to anything as long as the 49ers were still in contention for the NFL playoffs, and that Harbaugh was committed to not only making the playoffs, but winning a Super Bowl and forcing 49ers owner Jed York to fire Harbaugh's least favorite person in the 49ers, Paraag Marathe – - not, as reported, GM Trent Baalke.
Marathe and Harbaugh have deeply disliked each other for several years, and that dislike intensified in January when York promoted Marathe to team President after ousting Gideon Yu, a Harbaugh favorite. Harbaugh's first choice is – and has always been – to stay with the 49ers for the foreseeable future, but as things stand, that's no longer an option. Harbaugh knows he has 10 more days as 49ers head coach remaining, and he's now ready to go back to the one place he loves more than anywhere else, Ann Arbor, and restore his favorite football team to heights they haven't reached in decades.

If this is true, its Marathe that has it out for Harbaugh, not Baalke like people are claiming. And if that's true, Marathe can GTFO. He's a suit with absolutely no background in football prior to working for the 49ers.

In his projects, Marathe created graphs and charts that impressed York. After working with the 49ers for 18 months, Marathe befriended Jed York, John's eldest son. Seemingly, as the 23-year-old Jed became more visible at the 49ers' headquarters, eventually joining high-level meetings, so did Marathe.
Marathe's ascension coincided with the departure of Walsh and director of football operations John McVay, which could have been more than a coincidence. Privately, neither liked the statistical approach Donahue espoused. Marathe and his computer shot down Walsh and McVay's trade proposals during the 2003 draft. This didn't sit well with either man, who had built the 49ers' success partly on their impulses.
Nevertheless, Marathe was asked by York to lead the head-coaching research, and his profile skyrocketed.
Marathe studied 120 coaches to determine where the most successful NFL coaches come from, and what makes them excel once they have the job. Along with other factors, Marathe discovered that coaches who were with successful teams and worked with winning coaches made the best future coach.
The 49ers' short list of candidates was determined partly by Marathe's criteria. The interview process included a meal with John and Jed York, and then a sit-down with John York, Marathe and Tumey. York ultimately determined the next man to lead the 49ers.
