Saw this article today on Yahoo about Jim Harbaugh. It's caption read "Evidently, name-brand 49ers are fed up with their coach. With 36 wins in 3 years, does it really matter?"
Some of the info is the following:
It isn't a huge surprise that winning cures all ills. But I don't think it's fair to ultimately give a coach who people dislike and ask who cares if he's a dick to people a pass even if he wins. I guess we'd all rather have a coach who is revered but a winner. The weird part? San Francisco has won a lot yet there's descent in the locker room? How is that even a thing?

Some of the info is the following:
"One source with inside knowledge of the team says that Harbaugh's act has worn thin in the locker room, particularly among some key 'face of the 49ers' type players," Killion wrote.
High-strung football coach rubs people the wrong way ... stop the presses.
This has been a theme since the beginning of football. It's not a big surprise. It might be a problem for the 49ers only if they let it be (and they already are in the process of that). If they decide the comfort of the players and front office is more important than winning, Harbaugh will eventually move on. Plenty of coaches get along with players. Norv Turner would fit that role marvelously.
But first, let's consider a few things. San Francisco was a nightmare before Harbaugh arrived. Harbaugh came in and the 49ers instantly became one of the best teams in the NFL. Harbaugh is 36-11-1 the last three years and has gone to the NFC title game each season, with one Super Bowl appearance. He has put together that record, which is phenomenal in the parity-driven NFL, changing quarterbacks about halfway through. Any list of best NFL coaches has Harbaugh very high on it, or it's worthless. He has been tremendous. The 49ers hit a grand slam when they hired him.
It isn't a huge surprise that winning cures all ills. But I don't think it's fair to ultimately give a coach who people dislike and ask who cares if he's a dick to people a pass even if he wins. I guess we'd all rather have a coach who is revered but a winner. The weird part? San Francisco has won a lot yet there's descent in the locker room? How is that even a thing?
