I think that as good a coach as Jim Harbaugh is, the guy just isn't a 49er... He loves coaching, but he didn't have the love for coaching the 49ers..
Each time I read about how he still plays QB for the team in practices, running around and stuff like that, makes me wonder if this guy is still pissed because he got drafted after Kelly Stouffer and Chris Miller...
or, he prolly was still pissed because the 49ers drafted Terrance Flagler ahead of him when he could learned from some guy named Joe Montana and Steve Young..

Damnit. This is just not going to fit some narratives around here. 
"This is one of the best offseasons we've had since I've been here," ninth-year lineman Joe Staley said. "Everybody is very focused and excited. New coaching staff, new energy, new ideas — I think that has something to do with it as well."
Running back Kendall Hunter said of Chryst: "He's been around and knows the players. We trust him."
Another goal is to bring tight end Vernon Davis back into a play-making fold. "The first two weeks of practice, I was kind of surprised," Davis said. "It's been a while since I caught that many balls in practice. But it's been like that the entire camp."
Chryst is moving him around in the pocket more, because: "That plays to Kap's advantage. He's always been good throwing both to his left and to his right."
Kaepernick, however, got sacked a franchise-record 52 times last season, and Chryst attributed that to multiple factors.
"You always want to stay healthy on the offensive line for cohesiveness, and maybe for the first couple years, we weren't," Chryst said. "And you have to want to get the ball out. If you're vulnerable, the defense will make you cry uncle. … Yeah, we're trying to play to Kap's strengths."
Tomsula said of Chryst: "He's done a tremendous job."
Wide receivers coach Adam Henry has been putting his corps through what he called "unique" drills, all in an effort to keep their hips low for leverage purposes.

While Chryst will call plays from up in the coaches' box, Mangini hasn't decided if he also will, having typically run defenses from the sideline.
"Well-coached teams don't have penalties,"
Chryst began. "We had six touchdowns nullified on penalties last year, five in the pass game and that's not good enough. You add those back in, and your 8-8 record, you can make a strong argument would have been 10-6. You can also make a strong argument that statistically that Kap was right where he was in the previous years. But the fouls happened.
"As coaches, we like to try to emphasize that as a do-right thing."
On the play clock issues: "It's like when you're driving down the street," the coach began, "you know when you're speeding and you know when you're not speeding. You don't always look down at the speedometer. So I think we're getting in and out of the huddle in such a way that we're not looking up at the clock. We're not speeding, but we're not stuck in rush-hour traffic either. We're not just fast for the sake of fast."
"Jimmy T loved the fact that I loved, and Geep Chryst loves, to push the ball down the field. Alright? So guess what...we've got some new toys to play with in Torrey Smith, Reggie Bush, get Vernon Davis up and running again, etc. We've got a wonderful cast of characters for Colin to work with...I think it will be fun to watch...completion percentage...you can take a young man and put him in an offense and really encourage him to hit the check down, hit the check down, hit the check down, and suddenly you look up and he's completing 68-70% and that's wonderful. But what did you sacrifice to get that done? We don't have any vertical passing game suddenly. So you've got to be careful with completion percentage," Steve Logan said.

I wish I can shake Coach Stash's hand for a job well done during the OTA...
Aside wondering how he gonna deal with them dumb zebras, I'm also curious how he would handle players with attitudes on and off the field...
Tardiness.. stuff like that..

Something I've actually wondered about too. I wonder if he is gonna be a total hard ass about stuff like that. It will be interesting to see how he punishes players.

Some of the behaviour would indicate they are anything but grown men. Obviously JT has been around long enough to know the guys who need a bit of guidance and those who don't. I reckon that's one of the reasons players warm to him. He's a straight shooting, no-nonsense bloke who genuinely cares about his players. Just my opinion, but that's a bigger factor in a coaching role than some may credit.

When someone truly has your best interests as their motivation it's rarely received as someone talking down to you when coaching your personal life.
I see it as the 49ers just trying to help their players to be the best they can be in both their personal and professional lives. That can't be a bad thing.
I really like what I am hearing from OTA's. I am on record as having very little faith in the upcoming season, but I'd love nothing more than to shock the NFL the way we did in 11.

"I couldn't say it is going to be highly aggressive, or categorize it," said Mangini, a former head coach of the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets. "We're trying to build in flexibility. As a play caller, I've blitzed 30 times and I've blitzed three times. It'll be week to week on that."
"One of the things that I believe in defensively is you have your core things that you do really well but you have to be in a position to be flexible," Mangini said. "As a play-caller, I've called games where we blitzed 30 times, and I've called games where we blitzed three times. I've always been a big believer to be game-plan specific. It's identifying what we can attack and what we have to stop. Then you have to have enough flexibility in the system to get those things done. So we'll evolve as the opponents go. But there has been really good depth built up here. If anything, the look and feel of the players is very consistent with what I've always had. (General manager) Trent (Baalke) and I were together in New York a long time ago with the Jets.
