Peter King's comments on MMQB re Harbaugh

KOniner · 2011-01-10T10:02:00-08:00

Cannot provide the full article but here are some quotes: "I told Harbaugh there were old videotapes (maybe DVDs by now) in the 49ers training facility in Santa Clara of Bill Walsh explaining the West Coast Offense -- the same scheme, down to the terminology, that Harbaugh coached at Stanford. "Really?'' he said. "I didn't know that. I gotta go find those and dust 'em off. I'll definitely watch those.'' Harbaugh was a good hire, and at the right price, for 29-year-old Niners president Jed York. Here's why York did a good job." Says further good things about York, the team, and the future.

The 49ers are going to be a fun team to watch.

"Good hire. The 49ers are going to be a fun team to watch."

Awesome. I havent been this excited about a HC being brought to SF in a long time. I really hope Harbaugh works out.

Walsh made a QB training video with Montana towards the end of his time in SF. I remember Bill talking about Montana's perfect mechanics at dropping back, motions etc. I'll bet there's a copy of it in Santa Clara.

The fact that those videos have any dust on em at all makes me want to do this to Erickson, Nolan, and Singletary:

I have never actually watched all of these before so I am endulging now.

I think just the fact that Harbaugh wants to bring Walsh's influence back to the bay is going to make The Stick a hard place to come play in for the opposition. Fans are going to be going nuts.

I'm going to assume this is the cliff notes version and Harbaugh as access to the unabridged stuff.
