#49ers and Jim Harbaugh are believed to have reached an agreement in which he is let out of his contract. He's expected to coach tomorrow.
If this is true, then the FO is making a huge mistake. Maybe they thought news wouldn't get out until after the game. At this point, they have to do what's in the best interest to our players, and that's let someone else coach the team. Half-assed play, guys not doing their assignments leads to possible injuries. It's just plain stupid to allow Jim anywhere near the team tomorrow. Time to move forward without him.
Maybe they don't give a f**k about the media. The FO and Jim reached an agreement, it isn't like he went behind their back. Let Jim go out properly. As our winningest coach in this millennium, he deserves at least that.
It has nothing to do with the media. Jim hasn't even told his players and they are going to be informed he's leaving by watching ESPN. Do you think that's going to motivate guys to play inspired tomorrow, or will they feel betrayed that their coach didn't have the balls to tell them his plans of coaching elsewhere the night before their last game together. That's not a way to treat family, and I guatantee the guys aren't gonna be happy about it.
it's overall a s**tty situation. I don't know whether to blame the FO for letting this happen, or be mad at harbaugh, mainly because I don't know the truth behind what has happened over the past year.
However....these players are grown f**king men. This is their job, and they love to play football. I don't think it will affect them as much as you think
