As a fan, I hope so.
But like I said, I've seen this movie before.
Eddie did eventually fire Seifert (he actually resigned)...but he had a successor lined up from the start. It was a risky move...but Eddie didn't apologize and made the tough choice.
Then the Yorks canned Mooch...and things were handled diffferently. It would change the course of the franchise for close to a decade.
Now here we are again....they fired the coach. And they don't know who the successor is.
If you think the franchise is being run the same way as Eddie would have done it, you are fooling yourself.
It's totally irrational to expect that we'll go straight back into the Salary Cap Hell days and dark days b/c of a coaching change esp. when the entire coaching staff is still intact and the talent is still here with much more to come.
Please explain in detail how and why you think (evidence) we'll be heading backwards?
PS: Love how Harbaugh is suddenly charming and funny, happy, etc. in this presser. It's an act. He's not getting a single tough question from the media like in SF.
