Easy A we have a winning season the second year in a row. When was the last time we could say that? Seriously we are nit picking if we have negative things to say about him. We are so lucky to have him here, he fished us from the depths of hell and brought us to the top of the league.
That is being spoiled lol .
Consider that list of concerns with Singletary at the helm to put it in perspective.

lol yeah I am with you Harbaugh has some ironing out to do in the NFL but we can be happy we got a very good foundation to build on with him.

B. Pissed about the hand-cuffed offense, but his record is no joke for a team that struggled for 10 years.

A minus, he fixed 8 years of sucking over night. The move to Kap was risky, but he can still go back to Alex if needed.

You got to take the gamble to get a chance to win big.

I think the recent penalties can be associated to the lack of experience of CK. We had like 15-16 penalties in the last 2 games alone. Both being in loud domes on the road. This is a problem that will be worked out im sure.
penalties and mistakes which kill our drives and extend drives for the other team have been an issue all year long just like poor pass protection. besides ck does not play defense and the defensive mistakes have been horrid

The roster he inherited is largely the reason he has been successful. He has been out coached at least 4 games this year and the loss to the rams after a tie has him no better than B-
Next to Singletary, everybody looks great but he ain't no Bill Walsh.

This is an odd argument. You say the roster is largely the reason for the success but then why weren't they successful with Singletary?
The biggest difference between the two regimes is the coaching staffs and you can't dismiss their influence on the team.

Singletary may be the worst head coach in NFL history and yet the 49ers were only 1 game under .500 during his tenure. Yes, Harbaugh is a better coach than Singletary, but turning the 49ers into a winner with our roster isn't some amazing feat. It really just highlights how bad Singletary was. Baalke & Scot McLoughlan probably deserve the most credit for where we are today.
It'd be easier to give Harbaugh more credit for our success if there was some reason to believe that he is an amazing coach, but he's been outcoached multiple times this season and his handling of the QB situation has been awful and it has been a terrible travesty that has really tanked our chances for a superbowl this year. Hard to call him a great coach after that.

Team management I say A-
Game management B-
Would have liked to have seen LMJ and Jenkins get some opportunities a little sooner. Harbs makes some questionable decisions during the games sometimes, but I'm with 100% as a leader.

I'm glad you brought up the draft, what a waste this year's class has turned out to be. Not sure how much blame Harbaugh gets compared to Baalke but regardless, this year was a disaster.

I don't believe the draft was a disaster. This team is very fortunate to have very few holes to fill, therefore use the draft to build for the future. I still want see those guys on the field though.

When Ginn is in the back field taking laterals, I think our draft was a disaster

In all fairness to Ginn, unless we have a player that's 20 feet tall, it wouldn't have mattered who we had back there on that lateral.

I am not very good at reading minds so don't know why Harbaugh makes his decisions I can only go by watching him, listening to him and hearing from those who know him well. We can't know what happens behind the scenes and would it be good if we did? Not sure. A rift between Smith and Harbaugh? Smith not living up to JH's expectations? Kaepernick possessing much superior upside in JH's opinion?
Some day they all might write books and we can learn of these things but until then we go by Harbaugh's record and he has been a successful coach everywhere he's gone. If he has made a mistake with changing QBs he will no doubt rectify that quickly. I do not see his ego as such to destroy the team he is building.
