Harbaugh: The West Coast Offense will return to San Francisco
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.

The San Francisco 49ers struggled to a .500 record in their first six games last season. Knowing that the talent was there, the team's decision-makers looked to make a move that could elevate the roster to a Super Bowl contender. That move was trading for running back Christian McCaffrey.

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. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia.
