Brandon Jacobs, the retired running back who spent time playing for Harbaugh's 49ers in 2012, left San Francisco not thinking highly of Harbaugh.
"Jim, I had a lot of respect for Jim when I was there – before I got to know him," Jacobs said on CBS Sports Radio. "I enjoyed my time there, but we didn't see eye-to-eye. I knew a little bit more about football than what they led on."
Jacobs said Harbaugh didn't have much of a grasp of the Xs and Os of coaching and that the assistants deserved more of the credit.
"Going somewhere where they don't have route conversions into certain coverages was just absurd," Jacobs said. "They're just running routes in the defense, getting people killed. Size and strength is what they had, and that's why they won. Let's be real. They had great assistant coaches, but Jim didn't know what he was doing. Jim had no idea. Jim is throwing slants into Cover-2 safeties, getting people hurt. That guy knew nothing, man."
LOL...no kidding. When you think Colin Kaepernick is your franchise QB and rely on Greg Roman, you're f**ked.
In equally matched games, X's & O's are the difference. I guess that explains why he can never win a big game.
At least he picked a winner in Fangio. The real HC of the team.
