Speaking on NFL Network's NFL GameDay Morning, Ian Rapoport reported that the San Francisco 49ers are expected to show interest in former Houston Texans coach, Gary Kubiak.
I also think the Peyton Manning Free Agency situation plays a part.^ haha yeah man guy on Niners nation posted this and it made too much sense.
Tim Ryan was Harbaugh’s teammate and is tight with him. He is also a broadcaster for Niners games on both TV and Radio. Given his business relationship with Niners but a personal one with JH, he has to be careful in how he says things.
He clearly said that the conflict between JH and Baalke goes back to 2012. The most obvious thing that happened in 2012 was Baalke’s drafting of AJJ + LMJ + not using all picks on usable players (trading out, drafting injured Looney, etc) and then JH replacing Alex with Kap.
The change at QB very likely irked YorMarBaalke who had stood by with Alex for 7 years and had built an offensive roster for his style and skill set. Harbaugh going with his guy in Kap would have easily ruffled feathers in the building, and the ensuing national narrative shifting towards JH (which was already high from 2011 season), just as Baalke’s personnel moves in the draft lost value. JH was winning and the rest of the crew was being discounted: textbook case of how problems arise in organizations.
I’d bet my bottom dollar that a lot of irreparable issues started then. Just imagine being behind your QB through thick and thin for 7 years and then the HC totally destroys that reality by removing Alex and treating him in less than stellar ways in favor of his own hand picked QB.
The contract that FO gave Kap is more evidence that they are not completely behind Kap (for good reasons) and will move on if they can find a better replacement.
This drama is just starting!
I wanna fight Jed york
Bengals owner WILL NEVER fire a coach w/ years on a contract, plus who the hell would want that jobhow is it that marvin lewis is still in the league but jim harbaugh is not?
