Harbaugh is a fucking boss.

Shows what a difference coaching can make as they added few if any free agents of note, and did it with a retread quarterback that was anything but remarkable for 6 seasons.

He single handedly broke through and changed the culture of losing that team had been mired in for a decade.

There are sure to be GM's around the league everywhere squirming when their fan bases start wondering why they have to accept incompetent coaching under the guise of learning on the job. Harbaugh showed if you have the chops you don't need to waste your time "learning/growing/evaluating" with 4 win seasons.

Just like the recent crop of rookie QB's has changed the paradigm about not being ready to play right away, hopefully Harbaugh shows fans that rookie head coaches can and will win if they know what their doing.
I know what you're implying and Harbaugh turned down Holmgren before Shurmur was hired.

Best finish to a non-Super Bowl I'd ever seen.

Oh,

I'm not suggesting he should have tried for Harbaugh or that he would have ever come here.

More that Mike needs to stop patronizing the fan base about Pat being such a smart coach and all the other crap he flings while chalking the losses up to the learning process as if the guy is the next Bill Walsh.

We see Shurmur, and then we see Harbaugh. Both walked into lossing situations, and one is in the NFC Championship, while the other won 4 games and looked in over his head.

Harbaugh showed that a rookie head coach doesn't need to be babied and have the kid glove treatment.

The 49ers didn't just write the year off and have zero expectations or accountability because they had a rookie coach like Holmgren did, and I think that is what bothers me.

dude..the talent between the browns and 49ers is night and day. You constantly rag on shurmur, and literally add nothing to the convo except that.

Reading comprehension is clearly not your strong suit as no where in there was I ragging on Shurmur. I am sorry if you have a hard-on for the guy and read into things that aren't being said and some how feel threatened by it.

My beef is with Holmgren right now. Shurmur can't help being incompetent anymore than Tebow can a being a shitty QB, he is what he is.

If you would read a bit though you would see that I go after Holmgren for allowing a culture to exist where throwing years away (which he has done twice now in his 2 years on the job) is some how OK and acceptable.

Continue on with your pro-Shurmur derangement syndrome though if it makes you feel better.

I've read enough of your posts on the cleveland offseason thread to know that you "hate shurmur" and don't believe in him. "shurmur can't help being incompetant" is a great quote to show that you are on board with him:rolleyes:

I'm not pro shurmur, nor am i anti-shurmur. I want continuity, something the browns haven't had since we have returned to the league.

as for the quote, wouldn't it be (.5)(.5)(.5)=(1/8)? 12.5%?? i don't know, seems too siimple.
In theory yes, but you have to take into consideration favorites.

Its like in theory, a player (WHOEVER) has a 50% chance of making a free throw. There are only 2 outcomes. But we all know it isnt the case because players are 90% ft shooters and some are 30% ft shooters.

Don.t over analyze. The Saints turned the ball over 5 times. The 49ers didn't stop the Saints.The Saints did what they do(463 yards passing), but it is difficult to overcome 5 turnovers.
