I don't know who Jim Harbaugh is but I sure know how to draw up one mean pie chart. -JR

Meanwhile our team is festering in mediocrity.

I'd say we were aspiring for mediocrity.

Im just saying, imagine if Jim had Newton

he didn't know he had Kaepernick

You sir are correct.

It's ok though, we promoted Shula, he will take us to the promised land.

We will rise up and outscore everyone in th....ok I can't type that without laughing.

and then crying

Don't be too hard on FP, guys. He lives in the middle of nowhere. You know those backwoods people aren't too bright. Cut him some slack.

[FootballMaestro]

I'm not sure what Harbaugh did to FP's family but.....

It had to be something nasty for him to be going full retard and such.

You know, I think Fiery Prophet is normally a very good poster, and I respect him or her for their contributions here.

However, on this one (Jim Harbaugh), I had to wonder myself a few times to; on what did he do? :mad:

By the way, I think a lot of you are thinking I'm saying that Jim Harbaugh is a bad coach. That isn't true. I think he's done an excellent job utilizing his talent and playing within their strengths.

However, it infuriates me to no end for people to call him either elite or imagine he would do much better with our team, when that is simply not remotely true:

1.) He works with an overwhelming talent advantage compared to his average opponent, and talent makes up 90% of the battle in wins or losses. And when that talent advantage isn't winning its battle outright he's at a loss and shows just as much an inability to adjust as the infamous Rivera.

2.) He brings no schematic advantages as a coach. Greg Roman is the brainchild behind his offense, and the offense itself is rather basic, using a variety of formations to hide the fact that the plays themselves use very simplistic pass progressions.

3.) His defensive scheming is also extremely basic, especially when it fails to generate pressure. Once Justin Smith stopped giving one-on-one advantages for Aldon Smith the defense became rather mortal and the talent advantages utilized by man to man coverage disappeared.

Now, one corollary to all of this is that the simplicity of Harbaugh's schemes may be an outgrowth of his success; after all, why change things that are obviously working? Perhaps as Keapernick grows into the offense it will open up and become even more dynamic. It is a benefit to a young QB to not have to read long progressions, so the simplicity of the offense (and it was simple when Alex ran it) might be related more to the youth of the quarterback rather than the inability of the coaching staff to expand upon it. But we'll see.

Lol no one wants to read your shitty wall of text. If you're fired a few years after at the very least making the superbowl or even winning it, you are a bad coach. Remember that little prediction of yours? Uh yeah.

I'm sorry, but what would my location have to do with anything? This "backwoods" individual writes computer software for a living.

Considering everyone here was predicting Seattle and then the 49ers would blow Atlanta out I don't feel bad about my prediction at all. My fault was thinking Matt Ryan wouldn't completely crap himself two games in a row.
