Casual reminder: the 49ers basically fired Jim Harbaugh to keep Baalke.

They're a mess from the top down. They should have found a way to keep Harbaugh, but hindsight is 20-20. It's going to be a long time before they're even able to sniff the post season. They seem to have no direction and hit the reset button at will. York is a mess.

The conflict began when Harbaugh wanted to try to develop Kaepernick into more of a pocket passer. Baalke wanted Harbaugh to continue to use all the zone read plays that got the 49ers to the Super Bowl in the 2012-13 season. The battle between Harbaugh & Baalke began that following offseason & came to a head right before the start of the season. As Brady Hoke struggled that same season at Michigan, the Wolverines brass flew out to the Bay Area to set up a deal with Harbaugh late that fall. Harbaugh knew he was out at seasons end with the 49ers, made a handshake deal with his alma mater which is why the deal happened so quickly after the 49ers season ended. Harbaugh to Michigan was the best kept sports secret for several months.
