I've rethot it. Fire harbs immediately .
Draft a bunch more guys with torn ACLs and hope they can play eventually.
If we lose Harbaugh I say we make a run for Notre Dame's Bryan Kelly. Don't know much about him but from Yahoo Sports:

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly — A source told Shutdown Corner this season that multiple NFL teams have checked in on the status of Kelly, who has rebuilt the Irish program into a pro-style operation and who carries strong cred with teams in the league as both a quarterback savant and a man who can handle the pressure of being the head figure of an NFL club. His head coaching win percentage of 73.5 at Grand Valley State, Central Michigan, Cincinnati and Notre Dame, including a 12-1 campaign and a title-game appearance two seasons ago in South Bend show that the man just wins.

Resign:

Justin Smith

Free Agent additions:

Justin Houston, OLB
Brian Hoyer, QB

Draft:

Round 1: Jordan Phillips, 6'6, 330, DE, Oklahoma -- superb explosive athletic disruptor of a DE -- heir apparent to Mr. Justin Smith (sorry Tank -- you will replace RayMac in 2016)
Round 1: Derron Smith, 5'11, 200, FS, Fresno -- maybe acquired with a trade of Harbaugh and/or we sacrifice next year's 1st rounder? He'll be our Earl Thomas heat seaking missile of a safety as we really don't know what to expect next season with Eric Reid and Jimmie Ward. He's a tremendous BALL HAWK.
Round 2: Denzel Perryman, 6'1, 240, ILB, Miami -- heir apparent to Mr. Patrick Willis; more of a BPA pick here
Round 3: Ty Montgomery, 6'2, 215, BPA pick -- we need speed on offense
Round 4: Jake Fisher, 6'6, 300, OT, Oregon -- we need to start thinking about Staley's replacement
Round 5: Shane Carden, 6'2, 220, QB, Efficient and very good QB who could be a sleeper; in any event he'll work hard behind Kapernkius and Hoyer
Round 6: Sacrificed to get the 2nd 1st rounder above
Round 7: Sacrificed to get the 2nd 1st rounder above

Unrealistic? Probably so if we're trying to get Justin Houston and that second 1st round pick to select Derron Smith. But man -- I don't think we can trust just Lynch and Aldon manning the OLB spots. Houston would be a HUGE addition. And if we get Perryman in the draft you're going to have 6 players (Aldon, Patrick, Aaron, Navorro, Justin, and Denzel) that can just get to the QB with speed. Derron Smith would complete our secondary as the ridiculous ball hawk that he is.

As for the offense I think the key will be the two free agent tight end acquisitions in Gresham and Donnell. Both are great at both receiving AND BLOCKING. And with Vance coming back strong (hopefully) we'll have a much bigger red zone impact. As for the receivers Boldin should be Boldin and SJ will be better if he's healed up 100%. And we'll definitely be using Patton, Ellington and newcomer Montgomery to the best of their abilities. And Montgomery will be our starting returner unless he immediately supplants Ellington and Patton for the #3 WR role.

With this collection of players I predict our defense will finish #2 in total defense, #2 in total points allowed, #1 in sacks, and top three in interceptions.
I predict our offense will finish #7 in total offense, #8 in total points scored.

Predicted record: 12-4 Read more at http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/nfl-draft/180735-glorys-2015-mock-draft-offseason/#UxwTmFUkIXcGCc5P.99
