Jim Harbaugh: Split with 49ers was not mutual

The mutual breakup between the San Francisco 49ers and Jim Harbaugh wasn't so mutual after all, at least not according to the team's former coach.

SNIP

"I was told I wouldn't be the coach anymore," Harbaugh (told "The TK Show," a San Jose Mercury News podcast). "And then ... you can call it 'mutual,' I mean, I wasn't going to put the 49ers in the position to have a coach that they didn't want anymore.

"But that's the truth of it. I didn't leave the 49ers. I felt like the 49er hierarchy left me."

To Harbaugh's recollection, the Niners informed him that he wouldn't be coming back on the Monday after the team's Dec. 14 loss at Seattle. Instead of leaving then, Harbaugh said he wanted to coach the final two games out of a desire to finish what he started.

Well, guess what folks? Owner Jed York is just another 1% lying motherfucker. And I'll never again believe anything he or GM Trent Baalke says.

There was enough leakage to the press prior...that said, you're right, York is awful.

They'd better hope that the team wins the same under the new coach.
