remember that rumor about the 9ers trading Harbaugh?

He was my first choice.

Definitely not anymore.

 

 

I got on JR hardcore and contently made jokes on JR after we didn't hire him as well, so I'm going to have to eat crow too.

 

He's still a good coach but has the ego to match, plus his sideline antics have more than gotten on my nerves the last 2 seasons.

He's a dick. Why do you think JR brushed off the question about him at the press conference several years ago. He snubbed our request to talk to him about the job opening. I would guess he was rude about it too and coming from Panther (though short lived) that would definitely rub Richardson the wrong way.

he was mine as well. i'm more than ok wiith rivera now that he turned the corner and started taking risks.

 

that said, i still think that if you want to turn an underachieving team around in a hurry, harbaugh is the one to do it. you can't deny his success, imo. i think a lot of it has to do with his ability to spread his attitude to others. his attitude is infectious, imo. i think he knows what people need to do to get the best out of them and can push people to achieve his vision of what excellence is and what it takes to be a winner. he accepts nothing less than winning and he pursues that goal like a pit bull after a fat rabbit.

 

the thing about his is that he probably pushes too much. i think it's just enough to turn people around, but then i don't think he lets up and while that mindset can impress you at first, it can also wear on you if it's unrelenting. what i've seen is that harbaugh simply just wears people out and i've got to think that also likely includes those over him just as much as it would those under him.

 

for some coaches, their message can get old. for some, like harbaugh, i think it's just too demanding long term.

 

i said in discussions about him last year that if i were on the board of directors at some struggling organization that he would be the type guy who i would hire to turn them around and i still believe that. what i think we're finding out is that it might not be sustainable...but then i have yet to see a season of him coaching in the NFL where his team hasn't gotten to the NFC CG, so while he may be a crazy prick of a human, he's brought about success. if he weren't the coach of the 49ers, i think they might still be good, but i don't think they would be achieving as much as they have.
