Harbaugh: The West Coast Offense will return to San Francisco

Jan 7, 2011 at 3:48 PM--


New head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed during Friday's press conference that the West Coast Offense would indeed be making its return to the San Francisco 49ers.

This is exciting news for fans who remember this great offensive system that was a part of 49ers history for over two decades. It will certainly help the team's quarterback, whoever that may be.

Harbaugh later went on to describe his admiration for former 49ers head coach Bill Walsh, who helped hire him at Stanford. Harbaugh stated that he has a picture of Walsh on his computer that he looks at every day.

Harbaugh stated that the West Coast Offense would be similar to what he ran at Stanford.

Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants.
