s**t, i dunno. Whatever he does, he sucks at it.
Kinda not really, though. Under his watch we got jim, Kyle, and a new stadium. That's some legit success in the NFL. You can hate his guts all you want, but he's done some good things.
The ironic thing about Jed is after letting Harbaugh go, he asked fans to hold him accountable and that we "SHOULD jump down his throat." So by constantly hating on him ever since, we're actually giving him what he asked for. Literally...
Personally, that offense was dynamic when Harbaugh had the right pieces. Then we lost our speed decoy in Moss, our speed TE in Delanie, and I think Iupati (or was it Boone?) also was let go. Once the O line was weakened and we lost speed, that offense became ordinary. My point is that the *lack of success* under Harbaugh - if you can call 3 conference championships and a super bowl a *lack of success* - was more on the drafting side with Baalke than Harbaugh.
Agreed with you. Delanie Walker let everyone know that Harbaugh wanted him back but Baalke said no. We all know in this case who made a mistake. It is understandable if you are Harbaugh that it was frustrated to work with Baalke.
I thought it is clear in hindsight that York at the time should have let Baalke go and retained Harbaugh.
At that point in time, Jed was in Baalke's back pocket, so I can understand not only Harbaugh's frustration with Baalke but with Jed too. So the incident about Harbaugh not posing for Jed in a picture, makes sense to me. Harbaugh wanted out and didn't want to work with Baalke. Baalke won the political battle but lost the war. GM, by definition works for the Coach, not the other way around. Baalke was stupid enough to think the coach works for him. Thank god that doofus is gone.
