I'll give you a hint. He looks like Gonzo from the muppets

I think either way the 49ers were in a downward spiral. Harbaugh isa good coach, but it is clear he knew the teams window was closing. He and the GM had failed to prepare for the future and I think he knew that he had planned on winning now. Since that isn't happening and ownership wasn't going to give hima huge long term contract (enough to get through a rebuild) he was smart enough to leave. I don't envy whomever comes in to rebuild, they have been let witha old team with overpaid players and big ? at QB.
As a Rams fan I am happy for this situation though

I don't think it's the same at all. But if it sends the 49ers into a tailspin I'll be willing to lie to you and say you're right.
Oh I think it is very similar. Zygmunt did not like Martz and Balke does not like Harbaugh. Both GMs had serious problems trying to work with the coach. Ownership sided with the GM. How is it so different?

Most overrated person in the NFL right now. Yes everyone agrees he's a jackass but his "winning" is such a facade. "He" didn't win, his team did. Just like "his" Stanford team didn't win without Andrew Luck. The 49ers didn't have Andrew, but they had the most Luck over a three-year period perhaps in NFL history -- see the retarded turnover differentials during his tenure (+28, +9, +12, +7), who couldn't win with basically getting spotted one free turnover per game? And when the slightest bad luck finally happened -- Krapperdouche fumbling away their season on the goal line for the Rams delicious win -- Harbaugh couldn't deal with any tiny adversity.
He will not win anything substantial at Michigan. He will basically do exactly what Jim Moron, Jr. is doing at UCLA -- great recruiting because of his overrated name, but then lose any meaningful game because when it comes down to it finally he's a bad coach.

I don't think the 49ers are doomed, but I do think this is the beginning of the end for Kaepernick in San Francisco. I can see him latching on with a lesser team and fading away over the next 3-4 years.
He's not going to handle that well.
Should make for good TV!

According to Albert Breer on Twitter, it's a done deal - Harbaugh to Michigan.

Easy answer is whoever's their next coach! McDaniel's would be good as his offense would be hard for them to execute with their personnel!

Exactly. When owners realize that coaches are more important to their teams success than GMs they will be ahead. But, usually, the owner hires the GM and the GM is very involved in hiring a coach. It is much easier for an ego centered owner to admit his GM made a mistake and fire the coach than admit he made a mistake and fire the GM.
Either way, I hope they bring back Dennis Erickson.

People seem to forget that it was Harbaugh that wanted Krap. He then ran a better qb out of town.
His arrogant bs caught up to him.
Harbaugh is a good coach. Not a great coach.
With or without Harbaugh, the whiners are clearly trending down. Many of us here already predicted the downturn before this season.

This is what idiot teams do, they finally find somebody to pull them out of the mire of mediocrity and they can him after a few bad seasons? Oh well, with their track records it's back to mediocrity, which is fine by me.

Gatta disagree with this. I think in mnay ways the GM is much more important in the era of salary cap. many times we have seen in this league where a coach gets toatl power an it goes VERY bad. Coaches tend to fall in love with players (become more invested in them personnally) and make bad decisions on what valuea player has. The GM in theory is removed from that and hasa more long term view for the team and organization and should be be more level headed.
It doesn't always work that way (ther are exceptions to any rule). But I think a GM is often more important to the team than the coach - long term.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you really. I was talking more about actually winning games. If the GM has a bad cap guy bad draft guys or is reckless it may not matter who the coach is.

Think the 49ers are getting rid of the wrong guy - not that I am unhappy about it or anything
