Yes, as much as I hate to admit it, the firing of Harbaugh was inevitable. He is nuts. But Baalke was a Bill Parcell's guy...see power linemen and it doesn't matter if they get the QB killed. That seemed to fit Harbaugh so it didn't matter. Now we see WCO returning and I am so darned happy! And I would put Lynch/Shanahan's IQs against Baalke/Harbaugh any day of the week!

Jed may have finally done this right! Fingers crossed!

not only how he treated jed (which some of us think jed deserves it), but how he treated others in the building,

if you're the owner, and you have all this staff coming and complaining to you about harbaugh, what do you do? i dont blame jed for firing him

Dang it might not be until next season before Kyle can really open up his offense and have his players. I hope half a shanahan playbook is good enough to win a sb

Nice read. I like the flood concepts that Kyle implements, and of course the counter to that is the zone blitz. And the counter to that counter is the inside and outside zone runs! Chess anyone?

I don't really recall Harbaugh calling a ton of screens. It strikes me that he didn't like those *finesse* plays much. Him of the Bo Shembeckler, smash mouth inflict pain, football - I get the feeling he didn't like those plays. I think he thought they weren't manly enough or didn't inflict enough pain. Quite a difference between him and Kyle, just in the kind of offensive linemen they like.

Big plodding linemen moving down field to block. Quicker LB just knife through and tackle the guy with the ball. He didn't call it because it doesn't work with the his personnel.

Agree, and if he did like screens, he's have much more mobile linemen. Even his TE's were more like OLInemen than TE's. His WR's were more like OLinemen than Wr's. HIs QB's were more like RB's than QB's. So you have a thread going through his coaching philosophy that make him limited in the NFL. I'm thinking if he doesn't do well in Michigan this year, I would think it would be a long time before he'd be in the NFL again.
