Jim Harbaugh Wants To Know Who Leaked Negative Stories

Former San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh who wants to know who was leaking negative stories from within the organization.

Jim Harbaugh coached his last game with the San Francisco 49ers yesterday afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals, and came up with a 20-17 victory. San Francisco suffered through a tough season, but were able to pull out an 8-8 record.

Nonetheless, they are going to be undergoing a lot of changes this coming offseason with a new head coach being one of the biggest changes. Harbaugh did an excellent job turning the 49ers back into legitimate Super Bowl contenders, but his relationship with ownership and the front office seemed to break late last season. Reports started being leaked to the media about Harbaugh from within the organization, and Harbaugh still wants to know who was leaking them.

He wanted to know so badly that he asked Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News if he knew who had been leaking them.

"He told me he was proud he didn’t get involved in the “off-the-record battles” this season, and asked if me if I knew who those “off-the-record people” were.I told Harbaugh that I think we both know who they probably were. He said I should write a story on this, and I told him I pretty much already have.But I’ll say it here again: I believe York and Baalke are the most likely people to have leaked so often and so bitterly about Harbaugh through all of this season."

Things went down in a very bad way in Harbaugh’s last season with the 49ers, and it was a sad situation to watch as it unfurled. While nothing can be confirmed about ownership leaking reports, it was fairly obvious that it was someone high up in the organization. That is simply unprofessional, and the way that they handled it was an embarrassment.

All of that being said, everything has been done and it can’t be changed now. The 49ers are going to be going into a new era of football with a new head coach, and hopefully it doesn’t backfire on them. Harbaugh looks like he’ll be heading back to his alma-mater Michigan Wolverines, and that is where he belongs at this point in time.
