[h1]"Every coach will move on at some point. And I don’t think Jim (Harbaugh) is at that point."[/h1][h1]49ERS CEO DENIES HARBAUGH EXIT RUMORS[/h1][h1]49ers CEO Jed York went on The Rich Eisen Show Monday morning to refute recent reports stating Jim Harbaugh will not be with his team beyond 2014, even if he wins a Super Bowl.[/h1]
Amid rampant speculation about tenuous relationships between Jim Harbaugh, 49ers management and his players, team CEO Jed York went on The Rich Eisen Show Monday morning to refute a report from Fox Sports' Jay Glazer saying Harbaugh will not be with the team in 2015, even if he wins a Super Bowl this season.

York called the report "categorically not true," a day after Harbaugh himself said "My destiny lies between these walls with these men,"  after beating the Chiefs 22-17 Sunday.

Here's the transcript of York's conversation with Rich Eisen regarding the reported tension in Santa Clara:

Eisen: There’s a lot of people shoveling dirt on top of Jim Harbaugh. The report again, Jay Glazer saying there’s no way he’s returning even if you win a Super Bowl. You say that’s categorically not true?

York: That’s categorically not true. Jim’s our coach. I said it clearly yesterday. Both of us addressed it at the beginning of the season. We’re going to sit down and talk about his contract right after the season is over. And I think both of us came to that conclusion it doesn’t make sense to try and negotiate a contract in the middle of the season. We’re focused on getting back and winning the Super Bowl. That’s really the only thing that’s on anybody’s mind here.

Eisen: But you hear it so many different ways, Jed. Different reports from so many different people in my business, the media business. You hear it over and over again. It’s like a mad lib you just need to change the weeks and times he’s rubbing people the wrong way and it’s not sustainable. Where does this come from, Jed?

York: In terms about sustainability, every coach will move on at some point. And I don’t think Jim is at that point. We’ve had a great relationship here. We’ve had three pretty successful seasons so far. By 49ers’ standards, unless you’re holding a Lombardi Trophy up it’s not truly a successful season. And I think we all know that and we all understand that.

I’ve tried to explain this to people - the rawness of getting close and not getting there, not actually attaining the ring. It’s hard to start from zero every season after you have a long, long road going to the playoffs, having a gut-wrenching loss last year in Seattle. It’s hard to his reset. I think you start to see our players hitting their stride. And I think you saw that a little bit yesterday. It’s hard to really hit that reset button and that’s what we’ve been able to do. And make sure we’re not focused on what happened or what didn’t happen the last three years, we’re focused on how to make it happen this year.

Eisen: How would you categorize the relationship between your coach and your general manager (Trent Baalke)?

York: Very professional. They work very well together. I think Jim does a great job of letting Trent and his scouts go out and find players, added some good talent to this team over the last four or five years.

They’ve worked together in that sense that Trent’s never been a coach. He has no aspirations of coaching. I’ve been in situations where that was the case here, I wasn’t working at the 49ers at the time, but when you have a former coach as your general manager, that can be dicey. That’s not how it is here. You’ve got Jim and Trent, who work fairly well together. I think the results speak for themselves. And they’re very professional with each other. That’s really all I can ask for.

Eisen: Do you think that this sort of, again, you’re being professional and you’re winning games. There’s no question about that. It just seems that there’s a certain state of, I don’t know what the word would be. Turmoil is too tough a word. But a word that we would use in my old house hold would be terse. There’s a lot of angst or there’s a lot of tension. A little bit. And that Harbaugh may need that in order to succeed. Would you agree with that assessment?

York: Yeah, I think that’s pretty fair to say. That’s how Jim is. Jim competes at anything and everything he does. And that sometimes rubs people the wrong way. But he has an amazing way to be able to pull people together and find a way to win tough football games - put himself in a position to have this team have the most success.

And he said something yesterday, and I’m probably not going to get the quote right, but he said, ‘my job is to love my team. Not for them to love me.’ And he truly believes that. There’s some people that don’t like if everybody in the room doesn’t like them. Jim isn’t one of those people. Jim wants to make sure he goes out and finds a way to win, and that’s what he’s done and that’s what he’s done just about everywhere he’s been as a coach. As a player he’s kind of hard to put losing seasons on one player out of 53. But he’s found a way to win in just about everything that he does.

Jesus these articles are getting more and more annoying. "Per a league source..."

Word. I can't even watch pre game shows anymore. Can't stand to set grown men gossiping.

[red80]

at this point, i feel the media is trolling with all the "inside info/per source"

herm edwards thinks the internal dissension was orchestrated by harbaugh to further accentuate the "us vs the world" ideology he thrives on.

lol 

i dont rule anything out with harbaugh

 

[nothingtol0se]

yeah my man, i heard that earlier.

if thats true, Jimmy is low-key brilliant

 

[moe200069]

if harbs really did start this, with a lot of the players going out of their way to speak up and defend their coach, wouldn't they feel a little betrayed or lied to?

**** could get interesting in a bad way...

 

[flyerthandelta]

Dont buy into it at all its just adding more fuel into the Fire

 

[nothingtol0se]

was planning ahead for the return of aldon and bow and i realize....who the hell are gonna be cut for them?

osgood and moody/lemons? no idea who goes to make room

 

[red80]

Probably Josh Johnson and Kassim Osgood.

 

[lightweight champion]

I would not mind seeing Lemonier get the axe.

 

[nothingtol0se]

He didn't get cut...yet. But anytime we make a signing it's either him or josh Johnson that gets future endeavored.

 

[milbert]

[red80]

Just to throw this out there:

#7 Pass defense

#3 Rush defense

#2 Total defense

all without Bow and Aldon; Wait til those two return...

 

 

[hyper cutter]

#1 Defensive Coordinator Greg Roman

Since he is good at protecting the opponents endzone from getting scored on.

BURN

[h1]49ers to bring back coverage specialist Ray Ventrone[/h1][h2]  [/h2]

The 49ers, whose coverage units have been shoddy through five weeks, plan to sign veteran Ray Ventrone, who was brought in last year to solidify the special teams but who did not make the 49ers’ initial squad.

The transaction hasn’t been submitted to the league office yet and is not official. The 49ers would have to release a player from their 53-man roster, and there is no word yet on who will be let go.

The 49ers’ special teams units have been inconsistent since coach Jim Harbaugh and coordinator Brad Seely arrived in 2011. They were excellent that year, but slipped the following season, which included a kickoff return for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.

The following season, they brought in veterans Kassim Osgood and Ventrone, who tightened up the 49ers’ coverage. Osgood returned this season, but Ventrone and another specialist, C.J. Spillman, were let go to make room for younger players such as rookie L.J. McCray.

Through four games, the kickoff coverage has given up 23.9 yards a return while opponents are averaging 14.8 yards per punt return, tying the 49ers for league-worst with the Dolphins in that category. That includes an 82-yard punt-return touchdown by the Eagles’ Darren Sproles last week. The Chiefs’ D’Anthony Thomas nearly had an identical return Sunday.

“Well, we’ve got to do a better job,” Harbaugh said Monday. “We’ve got to do a better job of covering those punts. Need a little more hang time. And that’s always been our best unit. We’ve set records around here on the punt team. … So we’re extremely capable and I know we’ll get it done.”
