Marathe was originally hired by Donahue............not saying he's the problem, but if he's not staying in his lane and seemingly trying to insert himself into things that Harbaugh might regard as none of his damn business, particularly for a guy with no football background, I could see why Harbaugh would get irate.
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.

just weird that there have been tons of reports that baalke and harbaugh can't stand each other, now this little nugget of how its actually paraag, makes no sense to be honest.
i still believe baalke and jim don't get along because of jim's allegiance to roman. it's so painfully obvious.
