Harbaugh looks back on his fallout with the 49ers leadership

Jim Harbaugh coached the San Francisco 49ers from 2011 to 2014. During his tenure, the team made three NFC Championship appearances and one Super Bowl berth. Despite the success on the pitch, things were quite different behind the scenes regarding Harbaugh and his relationship with the 49ers’ hierarchy.

“To get that sixth one, that drive for six. Jed’s done an incredible job, as have the entire York family, Paraag, John, Kyle, the entire staff, the players, and the incredible teamwork. And just good old-fashioned hard work to put themselves in this position.” Harbaugh told Maiocco recently, commenting positively as he seems to have moved on from their past differences.
